Statistics panel tabs assign colors to rows as you select them.
When you select a row, a colored box appears next to the index
column for the entry. This color is carried over into the Graph panel
and identifies data appearing in the charts.
Colors are always assigned in the same order, either sequentially (for
example, in order of selection on a Statistics tab) or hierarchically (for
example, in order of bytes in a Top Talkers report).
You can override the default colors used in the Quick Select window by
editing the S2DPalette.ini configuration file in the C:\Program
Files\NetScout\Sniffer Adaptive Application Analyzer\bin
directory. This file specifies the palette to be used.
IMPORTANT: After editing the S2DPalette.ini file, you must restart
the Console application for your new custom colors to take effect.
The S2DPalette.ini file contains a line following the entry line for each
custom color in the palette. Color definitions appear in the file with the
color index number (COLx, starting with zero), followed by the RGB
values for the color. These entries look like this:
COLx=r,g,b
Where:
x is the number of the color, beginning with 0 and
incrementing sequentially.
r,g,b are the RGB (Red, Green, Blue) specifications for the
color.
Obtaining RGB Values for Colors
You can obtain RGB values for colors from a variety of sources. One easy
way is to use the Custom Color dialog box in the Paint application
provided with Microsoft Windows.
To obtain RGB values using Microsoft Windows Paint:
1 Start Paint (Start > All Programs > Accessories > Paint).
2 Select the Colors > Edit Colors command.
3 Click the Define Custom Colors button in the dialog box that
appears.
4 Use the color matrix and luminosity slider to mix a color to your
liking. Note the Red, Green, and Blue values that appear for the
color and enter them in the S2DPalette.ini file.
