Thanks for your rapid response!
I realize I can set any *single* color to anything from 0-255 on the RGB map, and I have enjoyed resetting the colors in this way. What I want to do is slightly different; I would like to be able to define more than 20 *preset* colors in the options file.
Do you have any suggestions for this? The maximum number of preset colors seems to be 20.
Thanks,
anja

Hi everyone,Anja,
I have a couple of questions about setting colors.
The development version of the manual
(http://www.sanger.ac.uk/Software/Artemis/current_manual/options-descriptions.html#OPTIONS-COLOUR)
says that we can set up to 18 colors (0-17). I have managed to set 20
(0-19). Is this a fluke, or is the manual wrong?
Also, I was wondering, is there a way we can define more than 20 colors,
if we want them? Maybe build that in to a later version? I've been
experimenting with shading certain results, and it comes out Very Nice.
You can specify any possible colour using RGB attributes:
from the manual:
Each feature displayed in Artemis can be given a colour. The available
colours are set in the options file (see Chapter 4) and are assigned to
a
feature by adding a /colour qualifier (see the section called Edit
Selected Features in Chapter 3). Currently there are two ways of
specifying
feature colours. The first way uses a single number. For example red is
colour 2, so adding /colour=2 as a feature qualifier will make that
feature
red. The second way is to specify the red, green and blue components of
the colour. Each of the components can take values from 0 to 255, with
255
being the most intense. For example /colour=255 0 0 is another way to
give a feature the colour red. If no /colour qualifier is set for a
feature
a default colour is used (the default colours are also specified in the
options file).
