 Command:  Print/Color Palette Mixer/Edit         < PCE > 
 Purpose:  Change the color mix printing mix of colors
 Information:
     See Print/Color Palette Mixer for description of printing.

     The editor is similar to the Color selection screen provided 
     by Setup/Colors.  

     Each palette consists of the following:
        a palette filename
        a palette descriptive name
        16 names for the 16 colors
        16 Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, and Black mix values 

     Color 16 is shown on the left since it is equivalent to 
     color 0, or black.  For best results, colors 7, 15, & 16 
     should be altered only if necessary since they provide black 
     and white (no print) capability.

     If Color Weave is ON, the mixing screen shows the current 
     VGA/EGA Video Weave Palette; otherwise the colors are 
     presented in the menus palette.
 Comments: 
     If PaintJet Color Graphics mode is ON, the palette mixer 
     presents color mixes in terms of RGB values instead of the 
     ribbon band colors. If PaintJet Color Graphics is OFF, the 
     palette can be used for PaintJet text mode mixed colors.

     The editor is mouse sensitive and presents a mouse cursor 
     for "clickable" mouse action.

     You must save the palette to preserve your work.

 Command:  Print/Color Palette Mixer/Save-Load    < PCS or PCL >
 Purpose:  Save or load the color printing mix of colors
 Information:
     See Print/Color Palette Mixer/Edit for description of a 
     palette.
     
     The .PMN palette mix file contains all components of the 
     palette.
 Comments: 
     You may wish to create and save related VGA/EGA video 
     palettes and color printer palettes.  Since a video palette 
     has the .PCL suffix and a printer mix has the .PMN suffix, 
     both files can have the same prefix filename. 

     You must save the palette to preserve your work.  Loading a 
     new palette erases the current palette.
     
     Two sample palettes are provided with Patternland: 
     
     "Palette.PMN" prints the default screen colors palette and
     is identical to the original installed "Patland.PMN" file 
     which loads each time Patternland starts up.  
     
     "Spectrum.PMN" is an alternate palette which goes with 
     VGA/EGA palette "Spectrum.PCL"

 Command:  Print/Color Palette Mixer/Print Sample < PCP > 
 Purpose:  Print the current palette with color names   
 Information:
     This provides a reference sheet for your printer palette 
     containing the file, palette, and color names along with the 
     mixes and 16 color sample bars.
 Comments: 
     You must pre-set the Single Printed Warp character to a 
     graphics block character or downloadable block character to
     achieve solid color bars for the sample.  By using other 
     Printed Single Warp characters, you can also observe how 
     various characters used in multi-symbol printing carry the 
     colors.

     This feature is available for PaintJet text mode color mix 
     palettes; it is not available for PaintJet Color Graphics 
     palettes.

 Command:  Print/Color Palette Mixer/Rainbow      < PCR > 
 Purpose:  Print 250 of 625 possible mixed colors       
 Information:
     This provides a reference sheet for creating new printer 
     palettes since it shows the mix of Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, 
     and Black required to produce the first 250 possible colors.
     
     Continuous paper is required for best results; the sample 
     will print over the perforation for a continuous sample.
 Comments: 
     Uses the Single Printed Warp character like Print Sample.

     Provides a key for PaintJet text mode palettes but not 
     for Color Graphics palette colors.  Use the PaintJet's 
     internal print sample feature for a printout of available 
     color graphics colors.

 Command:  Print/Color Palette Mixer/Data Color   < PCD > 
 Purpose:  Set the data color for mixed color printing  
 Information:
     All data in text mode mixed color printing is printed in 1
     of the 7 standard printer colors, not a mixed color.

     This feature presents the color selector screen similar to 
     the palette editor itself, however the menus palette is 
     used since the data color is not a mixed color.

     Graphics modes Data Color IS mixed just like the other 
     colors.  Thus Data Color can also be selected with 
     Weave/Graphpaper/Color of Lines-Data; then the color select 
     screen is presented in the Weaving Palette. 
 Comments: 
     The data, Symbols Warp-Weft ON, however, IS printed in the 
     mixed color. 

     3 of the 7 standard printer colors are internally mixed by 
     the printer, requiring two different color band strikes to 
     create.  For the purposes of this discussion, none of the 7 
     are "mixed colors". 

     In seven-color printing, all data for warp and weft threads 
     matches the color of the thread.

 Command:  Print/Color Palette Mixer/New          < PCN > 
 Purpose:  Erase the current color printing palette     
 Information: 
     All data in the current palette is erased. 

     Choose Print/Color Palette Mixer/Edit to create a new 
     palette after erasing it.
 Comments: 
     The palette file is not changed. 

     However, if you edit the palette and save a new one with 
     the same name, the previous version is overwritten by the
     new file.

 Command:  Print/Color Palette Mixer/Convert Video < PCC > 
 Purpose:  Create a printer palette from the EGA/VGA video palette
 Information:
     DOT MATRIX PRINTER WITH COLOR MIX PRINTING MODE ON:
     Patternland analyzes the current video palette and creates 
     a Color Mix palette by reading a table of Yellow, Magenta, 
     Cyan, and Black color mixes contained in the Printer driver 
     file.  Color mixes for EGA colors 0 to 63 are contained in 
     the driver under #76 to #81.  With a VGA system, the VGA 
     palette is first converted to the closest EGA palette, with 
     the result converted to the print mix.  Thus 64 printer 
     colors can be created with this option.  Choose Print/Color 
     Palette Mixer/Edit to view and manually fine tune the
     resulting palette mix using the sample printout created 
     with the Rainbow Print option. 

     HP PAINTJET WITH PAINTJET COLOR GRAPHICS MODE ON:
     Patternland analyzes the current video palette and creates 
     an RGB PaintJet palette by converting the video RGB values 
     0-3 (EGA) or 0-63 (VGA) to the allowable NTSC RGB range for 
     the PaintJet: 4-90 (red); 4-88 (green); 6-85 (blue).
     Choose Print/Color Palette Mixer/Edit to view and manually
     fine tune the resulting palette using the tables in the
     PaintJet manual along with the PaintJet's own sample
     printout.

     All mixes in the current palette are altered, but the
     palette name, color names, and file name are not changed.

 Comments:
     You should change the palette filename before saving it to
     avoid overwriting your previous version.

     CGA systems can automatically create only one palette from
     the standard video colors.

     Convert Video for Dot Matrix Color Printers uses a table in
     the printer driver as stated above.  You can permanently
     alter the mixes Convert Video provides for each of the 64
     EGA colors by editing the printer driver.  Use Patternland's
     File/Write editor; edit the Patland.PDV file; scroll down to
     the beginning of the palette mixes at option #76; and change
     the color strikes for each ribbon band to a value from 0-4
     as desired.  The file is commented to show which EGA color
     you are adjusting.

     For PaintJet Color Graphics mode, the mode must be ON to
     correctly view and/or change the results in the editor.  The
     Window header says PaintJet Palette if PaintJet Color
     Graphics are ON; also, the mixes are presented in RGB
     values.  For TEXT mode PaintJet printing, use Color Mix
     Printing mode, and the results are presented in terms of
     print overstrikes for Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, and Black.

 Command:  Print/Color Palette Mixer/Auto-Palette  < PCA >
 Purpose:  SWITCH--Recreate printer palette from video EGA/VGA
 Information:
     This feature is identical to Convert Video except the
     palette is created automatically every time the weaving is
     printed if the switch is ON.  This allows the most "hands-
     off" approach to printing in color after adjusting the
     EGA/VGA video palette for the desired colors.
 Comments:
     Color Mix Printing Mode or PaintJet Color Graphics mode must
     be ON for the auto-palette feature to function.

     In this mode it is not necessary to save the print palette 
     if you save the weaving because the video palette is saved 
     with the weaving and the printer palette will be recreated 
     exactly at each printing.
