The following control elements change the current color scheme:
•
The screen element to be modified is selected from the Element drop-down list. The list
contains the background and all traces, text elements and lines in the diagrams.
•
Color opens a standard color dialog to assign a color to the selected element. Use the What's
This? help button in the dialog to obtain detailed information.
•
Trace Style and Trace Width are enabled if the selected element is a trace.
•
Use same Color for all Markers allows to select a common marker color, which is independent
of the trace colors. To define the common color, select the Same Color for all Markers element.
•
Keep Trace Color over Reassignment of Diagram Area controls the color of traces that are
assigned to another diagram area or created together with a new diagram ares; see
background information below.
Effects of Keep Trace Color ...
The analyzer assigns trace colors according to a predefined scheme, starting with the colors that are
easiest to distinguish. On one hand it is advantageous to use the colors at the beginning of the scheme.
On the other hand, it is often desirable to use different colors in different diagram areas so that any
trace that is moved from one diagram area to another can keep its color.
Keep Trace Color... changed between these two alternative color modes as shown below.

the new diagram area's color
scheme

first colors. Consequently the new trace is displayed with a color that has
been already used.
Trace keeps its color Color scheme of the new diagram area continues color scheme of the
previously active area. The new trace is displayed with a new color.
