dark magenta

[Wolfgang]

Hi,

I want to have a plot and its annotation to use the same color. In PlotXY, I used VAL_DK_MAGENTA, which according to the CVI help is:

VAL_DK_MAGENTA

Red = 255, Green = 0, Blue = 128

If I use the GUI editor to set the glyph color using the 'More' button with its color popup, this setting returns a quite different color, much brighter...?

It appears tome that VAL_DK_MAGENTA is much closer to 128/0/128...

Effectively VAL_DK_MAGENTA is defined in userint.h as

#define VAL_DK_MAGENTA                  0x800080L

that is, 128/0/128. Online documentation need to be corrected on this item.

Thank you both for pointing this out. We'll fix the documentation.

This color is usually called red-purple.
I have those additional colors in some of my projects:

// Some additional (bright) colors
#define VAL_ORANGE 0xFF8000
#define VAL_REDPURPLE 0xFF0080
#define VAL_LTBLUE 0x0080FF
#define VAL_LTGREEN 0x00FF80
#define VAL_PURPLE 0x8000FF
#define VAL_YELLOWGREEN 0x80FF00
