1.3.8. Preferences Dialog

The Preferences Dialog allows the user to set APEX DS user interface options. These options are not stored in project files, therefore they are used regardless of the currently loaded project.

1.3.8.1. Plot Colors

Controls to allow predefined or custom color schemes. Saving a color scheme, using “Save” button, provides a template to make a custom plot color scheme. Once the color scheme is modified using a text editor, it can be loaded using the “Load” button.
