Chapter 6. Paint Palette

Painting is a very important operation to interact with your data. The floating paint palette, Figure 6-1, allows you to change the paint brush color rapidly; hence, it can expedite the interaction between you and your data.

For each color in the paint palette, there is a keyboard accelerator:

• R [1] for red

• G for green

• B for blue

• C for chartreuse4

• O for orchid

• D for darkgoldenrod1

• T for tomato4

• 1 (digit 1) for white

• 0 (digit 0) for black

These keyboard accelerators can be used over the floating paint palette or any plots that are in the paint or identify mode.

In addition to selecting a color with a mouse, you can use a keyboard to select a color with the left, right, up, and down arrows on a keyboard.
