Trace Menu Items

The Trace pull-down menu features one menu item:

• Color-- This feature is used to custom-color individual traces to distinguish them.
• Edit-- Open the Edit Trace Properties dialog box. This is the same dialog box that is documented in the Traces section.

 

To use the Color menu item, first select the trace to be colored from the pull-down Trace field in the upper-left corner of the main Motion Scope panel. Next, click on Trace / Color to access the Color panel.

Colors may be chosen directly from the pallet provided, or click on the Define Custom Colors>> button to access the custom color function. Custom colors are defined in one of two ways:

• Move the cursor to a point of the spectrum pallet which best approximates the desired color.
• Enter the correct values for: Hue, Saturation, Luminosity, Red, Green, and Blue to render the desired color.

To add the color to the custom color to the pallet, click on the Add to Custom Colors button.

To set the selected trace to the new color and close the Color panel, click on the OK button.
