Chrome, Chome and Red, Chrome and Green, and Chrome and Blue!!!

I don't know if there are like colormaps yet.

P.S. I forgot to put MOK in front of the Chrome one.

I've discovered a way to allow chance (my favorite creative tool) to enter into my color map making.

The output from ColorMonger are long lists of RGB values, streams of numbers. I've started opening thse files in a text editor and copying and pasting chunks randomly from one to another; either combining two maps I like, or any number of maps into an empty text file. The end result, while totally random is often surpisingly good.

Yes, too bad I don't have a MAC.

You don't need a Mac to copy and paste in Wordpad. You can "get a feel for" what parts of the file are what colors. Remember, each line is Red Green Blue.

If you have too few values the colormap won't show. (At least in older versions but I doubt that has changed). If too many the extra will be ignored.

The 1st line in the file is pallete register zero and IMO should always be zero (0 0 0) because it is also the background color. If anything other than black (zeros) it lights up the screen. The 256th line, color pallete reigister 255, is (usually) the wave itself.

What's the difference between editing in wordpad, and using "MakeMap"??

[markofkane]

I got to playing, and edited in notepad:

Save as MOKchmRB.MAP

(kinda cool with WAVESHAPE=Not so simple horizonal,

and Flowfield=Kaleidoscope(sawtooth)
