Choose colour buttons
When you click on a 'Choose' button next to a colour, it displays the
'Choose colour' screen. The types of colour available depends on the
particular control. Some options allow just a single colour to be
selected, or a gradient colour (two colours are selected and then Repeat
Signage blends these).
Repeat Signage colour system
Repeat Signage uses the RGB system whereby every colour is created using
different values for Red, Green and Blue. You can use the Choose button to
select colours, type in the RGB values of known colours or use the 'Choose
colour from picture' button. The 'Choose colour from picture' button
allows you to load a picture, for example a company logo, and then click on a
pixel of the image that contains the colour you want. You can also use
this button to copy the contents of the Windows clipboard after using the print
screen keyboard button to capture images from Windows programs (click on 'Choose
colour from picture' then press F1 on that screen for more information).
There are 3 types of colours you can choose using this screen, however some may
not be displayed depending on the item you are choosing a colour for:
Solid colour
Select a single colour.
Gradient colour
Choose a high and low colour and then you end up with a gradual changing of the
colour between the top and bottom. You can choose one of the gradient
modes:
Horizontal
Vertical
Forward diagonal
Backward diagonal
which is the direction of the colour change.
Patterns
There are a number of patterns you can choose by selecting 'PATTERN' and
scrolling down the pattern scroll box. Clicking on a pattern gives you a
preview in the preview box.
