COMMAND NAME:

        palette

USAGE:
        palette

        The palette command controls the colors used in displaying
designs and parts of the Allegro desktop. In the design window, the palett
e command displays the Drawing Color Palette Selector form.  This
form is used to determine the colors used in your design.

        Allegro provides the ability to use a single standard palette for
all designs or a unique palette for each design. You can customize
the palette before beginning a project or make color changes later
during the design process. The palette command can be used
together with the color commands to enhance visibility of
specific subclasses in the open design. You can access the Palette
window with a design open, repeatedly modifying the palette and applying
it to the open design.

        The palette command is used to perform the following functions:

        - view or modify colors to create a local palette for use in designs

        - view or reinstate the global palette for use in designs

        - assign plotter pens to design colors

        - view or modify colors used in desktop display

        The palette command displays the Drawing Color Palette Selector
form which displays  color boxes representing the current palette,
as well as color bars. You can create a color by sliding the mouse
along the Red, Green, or Blue bars. Numbers indicate the precise color
mix, permitting you to record and later recreate the exact color.
