Hi All,

Is it possible to change the colours of the transition curve markers (start/length) on the current template? (I'm using 0.82d).

My problem is that the default colour is white, which is very hard to see against a white background scan. I've found many menus to change the colours of almost anything else in Templot, but I can't find the transition markers!

thanks,

Andy

Hi Andy,

Finding a colour scheme to work clearly over a background scan is quite tricky. For a normal scan of a clean map you might find the "snow white" scheme is suitable. Alternatively on the default "sky blue" scheme changing to a transparent image may help (on the Background Shapes dialog).

With a transparent image the "classic grey" scheme also works well. The problem with that scheme is that some parts of the mouse pointers do not display -- the "cross-hairs" mouse pointer is completely invisible.

My preference recently is to do "negative image" on the the scan in a photo editor, reduce the contrast/brightness to just greys, and then use the "bright night" colour scheme. You can see that in this video:

Thanks Martin!

I was thinking that just changing them to red would do fine - I'll try it tonight.

Cheers, Andy
