transformed to this color space. The color mapping table allows RGB CMYK,
highlight, and CIELAB, but your actual hardware determines your available
choices. For example, if your printer supports only highlight color, your target
group must use highlight color.
You can specify exact values for output colors. For example, if your printer
supports three highlight colors, you can specify colors 1, 2, or 3 with coverage and
shading percentages that are supported by your printer.

Creating a color mapping table
In the procedure described below, we create a color mapping table to print an
Advanced Function Presentation (AFP) file that contains pie charts in the color
green.
For our AFP files, this pie chart appears as a series of horizontal lines. By accessing
the chapter on "Graphic primitives and attributes" in the
Graphics Objects Content
Architecture for Advanced Function Presentation Reference manual, we can see that
these horizontal lines are created by a Pattern Output Primitive with a hexadecimal
value of
'0B'
(11).
To turn these horizontal lines into a shade of green when using a ColorSpace
source group of
GOCA
to map to a target group value of
RGB
, make sure that you
specify a low value for red (12), a high value for green (252), and a value under 50
for blue (42) to provide a clear contrast.
You must do these tasks from the AIX command line:
1. From the usr/lpp/psf/config directory, specify:
cp cmt.cfg piel.cfg
This copies the Color Mapping Table configuration file into a file you can
customize for your own purposes (in this case,
pie1.cfg
)
2.
Specify
vi piel.cfg.
This lets you edit the configuration file and insert the applicable values to
create the appropriate color mapping (whether GOCA to RGB or OCA to
CIELAB) table. See the sample
cmt.cfg configuration file below:
# ******************************************************-
# Required, starts a Color Mapping Definition.
# One definition for each Source to Target mapping.
