Define Custom Color Palettes

Use the Custom Color Palette to define and name your own colors for the display of objects. The colors of the color palette are an essential part of the Tilos file. Using export and import, this color palette can be exchanged between different Tilos files.

Ways to access

In the Tilos Explorer, expand Library > Graphic Libraries, and double-click Custom Color Palette to see a list of existing colors in the working window.

Steps

Add, edit, and delete colors

Using the buttons on the right edge, you can add new colors or delete selected entries in the list.
Change the order of the colors using the icons Upwards and Downwards.

Add a New Color

Enter a Name for a color.
Set a color value of the RGB system colors.
Alternative - Select the color by using the system colors.
Select the color with the color scales by moving the small triangular handles.

After you have created user-defined colors, deleted or imported, click the button Apply Change.

Only then the color palette is updated in the selection lists of Tilos.

Export/Import user-defined color palette

Click the button Export Colors.
Select a directory and enter a file name. A text file is created.
Click the button Import Colors.
Select a directory and a previously exported text file.

The colors are added to the already existing colors.

Using the button Delete All, all colors of the user-defined color palette are deleted.

Edit Color Codes

In the EDIT Color Codes dialog, enter a Name and define the colors for the Values in the resource bar chart. Every Value is allocated a Color for the area display and a Line Color for the frame of the area.
Click to add new lines or on to delete selected entries of the listed items and on to open the properties of a Color Code.

Note: When defining Color codes, take care that the value that you have allocated a color to, is also the value in the resource profile that is written as a number.

If you create gradation in steps of 10, only the steps of 10 in the resource profile are displayed with a number. Any values in between are not considered (values between 0-10 = 10, values between 11-20 = 20 etc.).
