ColorTab2Wave

ColorTab2Wave colorTableName

The ColorTab2Wave operation extracts colors from the built-in color table and places them in an Nx3 matrix of red, green and blue columns named M_colors. Values are unsigned 16-bit integers and range from 0 to 65535.

N will typically be 100 but may be as little as 9 and as large as 476. Use

Variable N= DimSize(M_colors,0)

to determine the actual number of colors.

The wave M_colors is created in the current data folder. Red is in column 0, green is in column 1, and blue in column 2.

Parameters

colorTableName can be any of those returned by the CTabList function, such as Grays or Rainbow.

colorTableName can also be Igor or IgorRecent, to return either the 128 standard or 0-32 user-selected colors from Igor's color menu.
