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. Create a new drawing with the dimensions 100 x 2 pixels.
3. Draw the desired color gradients (see figure above).
4. Save the file in BMP format - Windows bitmap.
5. Rename the file (e.g. MyPalette.pbm).
6. Save the file in the Sunny Data Control's "Images" directory.
