summary:SYBYL background color change methods
Here is the summary of SYBYL background color change methods:
my question is:
I want to export a graph from a SYBYL, but the background is black. How can I
change the color of background from black to white?
the answers are:
1, Dr. Song says:
I think maybe there is not a proper way for you to change the color of backgroud
to white.
In fact,in SYBYL,it did supply three backgroud color,ie,solid,fade and split.You
can though click VIEW from
the main menu,and then click Backprop. Maybe the fade backgroud can meet your
need.
An alternative way is to use InsightII. It supply utilities for you to change
the backgroud to white.
You can have a try!
2,Dr. Ibrahim says:
In sybyl windows go to Font ( the left side of your windows) and there
you can change the background colour to what you want.
3,Dr. Ramy says:
Create a file called '.color.def' that includes the following lines:
#----------------------------------------------------------------------
# SYBYL background colors
#
# 0 - solid backdrop color
# 1 - split backdrop top color
# 2 - split backdrop middle color
# 3 - split backdrop bottom color
# 4 - fade backdrop top color
# 5 - fade backdrop bottom color
#
background 0 0.0 0.0 0.0 /this makes the main background black
background 1 1.0 1.0 1.0
background 2 1.0 1.0 1.0
background 3 1.0 1.0 1.0
background 4 0.0 0.65 0.65
background 5 0.0 0.15 0.15
#----------------------------------------------------------------------
Then place the following line in your .login file:
setenv TA_COLORMAP $HOME/.color.def
To make your background white, from within Sybyl, select Split as your
background
color.
I am very glad to receive their reply. thanks ver ymuch! and hope this is
helpful to others.
