<DIV>Dear gvSIG Users,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have created new color ramps for use in gvSIG. They replace the default color ramps.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>To use the new color ramps:<BR>1. Navigate to the gvSIG configuration folder.<BR> For Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\"username"\gvSIG<BR> For Linux: /home/"username"/gvSIG</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2. Replace the default "palettes.xml" file with the attached "palettes.xml" file.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>3. Delete the existing "ColorSchemes" and "colortable" folders.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>4. Start gvSIG.<BR>The "ColorSchemes" and "colortable" folders will be created with the new color ramps in them.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Notes:<BR>The color ramps are designed to work with both raster and vector data, although some are better for raster data and some are better for vector data.<BR>The number of classes in each ramp is in parenthesis as part of the ramp's name.<BR>In Windows the color ramps are ordered alphabetically and are pleasing to look at as a group when choosing a ramp. This is not true in Linux.<BR>I cannot figure out how Linux orders the ramps. They seem random and are not as pleasing to look at as a group.<BR>However, they are completely functional in Linux.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>To restore the default color ramps delete the "palettes.xml" file, the "ColorSchemes" folder, and the "colortable" folder.<BR>Then restart gvSIG. The original "palettes.xml" file and folders will be recreated.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I hope you enjoy.</DIV>
