The origin of most of these was Klaus Banse of the MIDAS project. +The ultimate source of many of the tables is unknown. + +To have the colortables in this directory loaded automatically by Ximtool +install them in the directory + + /usr/local/lib/imtoolcmap/ + +Or, to load colortables from a custom directory set the cmapDir1 or cmapDir2 +ximtool resource to the pathname of the directory containing the tables. + +The format of a user lookup table is very simple: each row defines one +colortable entry, and consists of three columns defining the red, green, +and blue values scaled to the range 0.0 (off) to 1.0 (full intensity). + + R G B + R G B + (etc.) + +Blank lines and comment lines (# ...) are ignored. + +Usually 256 rows are provided, but the number may actually be anything +in the range 1 to 256. Ximtool will interpolate the table as necessary +to compute the colortable values used in Ximtool. Ximtool uses only +201 colors to render pixel data, so it is usually necessary to interpolate +the table when it is loaded. + +Tables are loaded into Ximtool by setting one of the user colormap directory +resources. When Ximtool starts up it will read all the files in the +colormap directory, disregarding any files that are unreadable or that do +not appear to be colortables. The name of the colortable as it will appear +in the Ximtool control panel is the root name of the file, e.g., if the +file is "rainbow.lut" the colortable name will be "rainbow". Lower case +names are suggested to avoid name collisions with the builtin colortables. +If the same colortable file appears in multiple user colortable directories, +the first one will be used. |
