Color schemes
TerraScan uses different color depths and models for displaying or exporting colored data. Besides predefined color schemes, many display and export functions provide the option to define user-specific color schemes. The TerraScan dialogs for defining these schemes differ depending on the color depth:
•24-Bit Color schemes - allows the definition of more than 16 mio colors. This is suited for seamless color gradients.
•8-Bit Color schemes - allows the definition of 256 colors. This is suited for the differentiation of several value ranges.
•Grey scale - common black to white gradient. This is suited for displaying intensity values but sometimes also for other values. Grey-scale schemes are defined in the same way as other color schemes.
For defining single color values, TerraScan uses the standard Windows dialog for selecting a color.
