>> From: Robert Israel /> Under Windows, it is possible to set the background colour for plots in "window", but not "inline" mode. In Maple's "Users" directory (or in the directory for a specific user, if you have installed Maple in multi-user mode) there should be a file named maple8.ini (or maple7.ini or maple6.ini if you have Maple 7 or Maple 6). This is a Windows initialization file for Maple. It is a text file that can be edited with Notepad or any text editor. Look for a line that starts PlotBGColor= If what comes next is default or 255 255 255, the plot backgrounds will be white. If it is 0 0 0, they will be black. You can specify any three numbers from 0 to 255 for the red, green and blue components. This only takes effect when you start a new Maple session; you can't change the colour in the middle of a session. The default foreground colours for most plots are kept (in RGB form) in the variable _COLORRGB. By default this is set to [1.0, 0., 0.], [0., 1.0, 0.], [1.0, 1.0, 0.], [0., 0., 1.0], [1.0, 0., 1.0], [0., 1.0, 1.0] i.e. the sequence is red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan (if there's just one curve to plot, it will be red, but if there are several the first will be red, the second green, etc., repeating if necessary). You can change this. The RGB values for the named colours can be found in `plot/colortable`. For example, to make the sequence gold, gray, maroon, wheat, plum, brown, aquamarine you could say > mycolours:= [gold, gray, maroon, wheat, plum, brown, aquamarine]; > _COLORRGB:= seq(`plot/colortable`[c], c = mycolours); Robert Israel /> Department of Mathematics http://www.math.ubc.ca/~israel University of British Columbia Vancouver, BC, Canada V6T 1Z2 On Thu, 23 Jan 2003, Kristian Jantz wrote: > > >> From: "Kristian Jantz" /> > > hello, > is it possible to set up a backgroundcolor for a plot in maple? i cant = > find a suitable option, i would also like to know whether there is a = > command that allows to set the foregroundcolor for all coming plots, so = > that i dont need to type color=3DXXX all the way > > > thank you, > Kristian >
