Interpolate between...

Generates a smooth blend of colors between the starting and ending indices, interpolating the red, green, and blue components as well as the luminance.

Recycle color values every <N> colors

Copies the color values of the first N colors to all subsequent groups of N colors. For example with N=10, colors 11, 21, 31,... will match color 1, colors 12, 22, 32,... will match color 2, etc.

Please note: Both the Interpolate between and Recycle functions are applied only when you click the corresponding Go button. If you make subsequent changes to any color values then these settings are not automatically re-applied.

Make defaults

Stores the current color settings so that these colors will be used as the defaults for all new plots.

Restore Defaults

Restores the default color specifications. When DPlot is first installed, the default colors are:

Index	R	G	B
Axes	0	0	0
Grid	192	192	192
Curve 1	255	0	0
2	255	0	85
3	255	0	170
4	255	0	255
5	170	0	255
6	85	0	255
7	0	0	255
8	0	85	255

13	170	255	0
14	255	255	0
15	255	170	0
16	255	85	0

The default colors for subsequent curves recycle the above 16 colors. For example the default color for curve #17 is identical to the color for curve #1.

The default color palette may be changed by checking the Make defaults box on the Colors dialog.
