The Simulation Legend

To display the "Color" dialog box, double click on the legend color you want to change in the "FARSITE Simulation Legend" dialog box. Simply click on the color you want from the "Color" dialog box and click OK. The landscape should automatically redraw.

You may want to use colors other than the Basic colors: displayed. For example; If you plan to display your landscape in a medium with a defined color palette such as the Wide World Web. Or, you just want more choices of greens. To expand the "Color" dialog box click the Define Custom Colors >> button.

1. Click one of the 16 colors in the Custom colors: palette that you want to change.

2. Pick a new color by moving the cross hairs around the spectrum or fill in values for one of the two columns of text boxes. (You can use only one of the columns at a time since red, green, blue and hue, saturation, luminance are separate methods of color definition.)

3. When the right color is shown in the ColorSolid box, click the Add to Custom Colors button and the custom color box selected in step one will display the new color.

4. Click OK and the new custom color will be added to your landscape and it's legend.

If you plan on making a GIF image of your visible theme, limit your red, green, and blue values to 0, 51, 102, 153, 204, or 255. Any combination of these values will give one of the 216 "browser safe" colors. This means colors won't shift or similar colors become the same when you make the image into a GIF.
