User (Legacy) Posted October 23, 2000 Report Share Posted October 23, 2000 Heh, you make it sound so easy Steve that I just have no desire to go do it...I used the pie chart way, and stuff an array with colors...easy..just a little overhead..and it works fine.

If you "just haf'ta know" I suppose I can spend a bit of time this weekend to "rediscover". I seem to recall looking at all the palette entries and noticing the same "header bits", then adjusted the next three entries to Red (which I recall was ff,00,00) and made a graph. While we're at it, a suggestion, export the branch to disk, make a working copy and fiddle with it in notepad, upload, fiddle, upload, etc. When you're done or give up, reload the "good" .reg file. At the time I was on my way to define a custom color palette. Got sidetracked!
