13. 6 Creating a Color Palette for Device Fields
Upon delivery of Sunny Data Control, several palette files are included. You can create
your own preferred color gradients by means of simple editing of these files, using
commercially available graphics programs. The files have the following structure:
•
Size: 100 x 2 pixels
• Format: BMP (Windows Bitmap)
• Subdivided into upper and lower pixel rows.
- the upper pixel row is the color gradient for capacity utilization between 0 and
100 percent (first pixel = 0 percent and last pixel = 100 percent).
- The lower pixel row represents the text color with which the information is to be
displayed in the device field, according to the background color (upper pixel
row).
To create a palette file, proceed as follows:
1.
Launch a commercially available graphics program.
2. Select this menu item to create a new graphics file.
3. Specify the dimensions as 100 x 2 pixels.
4. Edit the color gradients according to your preference (see figure above).
5. Save the file in BMP format - Windows bitmap.
6. Rename the file (e.g. MyPalette.pbm).
