Re: Palette Colors

[User (Legacy)]

I can tell you the palettes are stored in the registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Software FX, Inc.\Chart FX\Palettes]

They are stored in Hex numbers that's a bit daunting (but not impossible) to decode.  Basicly RGB(R,G, values stored in hex format.

Lots easier to create a pie chart with 49 sections and for each palette loop through the points and save off the color value in a Color Table

Fields like PALETTENAME, POSITION, COLORVALUE.

Do this with a Pie chart (example in VBA, adjust for your purpose/platform):

   For i = 0 To nPoints - 1

      Debug.Print ChartFX1.Color(i)

   Next

First 4 points of various Palettes:

"ChartFX 3.0"

  65280 (Green) 

 16711680 (Blue)

 255 (Red)

 16711935 (Violet)

"Nature"

 12638144 

 11593903 

 10535071 

 9429135 

"Electric Fire"

 3129599 

 3117296 

 48127 

 1089520
