NCSA PALEDIT

NCSA PalEdit is a tool for the creation and customizing of color palettes that 
may be used with other NCSA software such as NCSA Image. With PalEdit, you can 
modify the whole palette or intervals in the palette, to create a set of colors 
tailored to your needs.


REQUIREMENTS

To run NCSA PalEdit, you must have a Macintosh with color hardware 
capable of displaying 256 colors simultaneously. You also must have 
System software version 6.0.2 or later installed on the machine.


NEW FEATURES

New features in the tool panel of NCSA PalEdit version 2.0 include 
interval manipulation tools that allows you to make range selections 
in the palette and component plot simultaneously, and an 
interpolation tool, which interpolates across the current palette 
interval.

Moreover, several tools and commands that used to solely modify a 
range of the palette now modify intervals of the palette/plot.

As in NCSA PalEdit 1.2, you can also:

	Load and modify existing palettes

	Create and customize new palettes

	Save new or modified palettes in the following file formats:

		raw palette
		HDF
		Klutz DA
		Canvas
		PixelPaint

	Use any combination of four color models - RGB, CMY, HSV, and 
        HSL

	Adjust the individual color components of any of the four color 
        models

	Select and modify regions of interest

	Rotate color entries in the palette in either direction

	Change the color of an individual color entry using the color 
        wheel dialog box

        Copy and paste palettes from NCSA PalEdit into other 
        applications, such as NCSA DataScope, NCSA Image, NCSA ImageIP, 
        NCSA Layout, and NCSA GelReader
