Define a new Color Palette

Define a new Color Palette

New color palettes are defined by the menu Tables | Bookstores (local/global) | Color palettes. The Color Palette table is managed, as usual in CadnaA, through its context menu. A new color palette is defined by inserting a new line.



Double-clicking on the new line opens the Color Palette editing dialog box.


Example:

This example will define a color palette with progressive colors of 40 to 80 dB and a class width of 10 dB will be defined. The predefined adjustments to 'Single value', 'Interval' and 'Precision' are retained.

1) Enter an appropriate name and identification code and insert five new lines (for the level range of 40 to 80 dB, with steps of 10 dB) into the table below.




2) Double-click the first file in the table.


3) The Palette Input dialog box defines the color, line type and limit value for each range of values.
  1. Select the yellow color for the first range of values using the 'Color' button. The line type (full line) is retained.
  2. Enter in "Value" the lower limit of 40 for the range to be displayed.

  1. Move to the next row in the column by clicking the right arrow () to enter the following range of values.
  2. Select the orange color for the second range of values using the 'Color' button. The line type (full line) is retained.
  3. Enter the lower limit of 50 for the range to be displayed.
  4. Complete the definitions of the other ranges as appropriate. It uses different colors or the remaining level ranges (e.g. red, blue, black).
  5. Once the 80 dB value range is defined, close the Palette Input dialog box.

CadnaA then automatically displays the resulting legend texts for individual values and intervals in the Color Palette dialog box. These definitions of legend will be used when showing the legends of the grid. Individual values relate to lines with the same sound level and intervals to areas with the same sound level.


4) Close the Color Palette dialog box and the Color Palette table (local).

It is now possible to assign the new color palette to the mesh of the respective evaluation parameter using the menuMesh | Appearance
