How to Select Colors

GeoVista uses a Microsoft Windows Color dialog box, which makes color selection similar to other Microsoft Windows applications.

Follow these steps to change a parameter's color:

1. Click the color rectangle for the parameter you want to change. This opens the Color dialog box.
2. In the Basic colors section, click a different color.
3. Press <OK>. Your parameter's color box will now display the basic color you chose.

Repeat these steps to choose colors for your remaining parameters.

If you do not want to choose a basic color, follow these steps to add a custom color:

1. Click the <Define Custom Colors>>> button to expand the Color dialog box.
2. 

From here, you can change the color by

• entering values for Red, Green, and Blue
• clicking anywhere in the color window

You can also change the hue, saturation, and luminance of your selected color by

• entering values for Hue, Sat, and Lum
• moving the slider up or down

2. When you are happy with your selection, click <Add to Custom Colors>. Your custom color will appear in the Custom colors section for future selection.

3. Select the custom color and press <OK>. Your parameter's color box will now display the custom color you chose.
