Load Spectrogram Palette

Controls: Sgram/PT Dialog >> Colors >> Load Pal
Macro : LoadPAL

You can load a new Spectrogram Palette at any time. You may want to load a special grey-scale palette for printing to a black-and-white printer, for example.

If you have made changes to a palette but haven't saved it, you will be prompted to do so before the new palette is loaded.

Macro Notes:

The LoadPAL macro has no effect if any File Open or Save As dialog is already active.

LoadPAL= without a name will open the File Open dialog showing all .PAL files, but with no default name.

LoadPAL="MyFile" will open the File Open dialog with the default name set to MyFile. (Note that quotes are needed around all filenames in macros.) If you accept this by hitting Enter or the Open button in that dialog, Daqarta will assume you want to open a file named MyFile.PAL and will fail if that file is not found.

A.LoadPAL="MyFile" will open MyFile.PAL directly, without any File Open dialog. Note that this will replace the existing palette without saving changes, if any.

LoadPAL can use string variables and complex strings. For example, LoadPAL=Field1 will use the contents of Field1 as the default file name, and A.LoadPAL=Field1 will load a file with that name directly.

Similarly, if the Macro Variable Var0 holds a value of 12, then LoadPAL="Test"+Var0 will set a default file name of Test012.
