aiSee has a color map of 256 colors of which 254 can be used.
The first 32 colors (index 0 - 31) of the color map are the default colors.
These colors can be specified by name, all other colors being specified by their
color map index number.
The color map is changed by specifying a sequence of color entry attributes. For instance,
colorentry 32 : 210 218 255 /* alice blue */ colorentry 33 : 205 92 92 /* indian red */ colorentry 34 : 46 139 87 /* sea green */introduce the colors ``alice blue'', ``indian red'' and ``sea green'' with color index 32, 33 and 34. If blue, a default color, is to be used specification can be done via color: blue or color: 1. In order to use sea green as a node color, color:seagreen cannot be specified since ``seagreen'' is unknown to aiSee as a name. Its index number color: 34 has to be specified instead.
The default colors can be overwritten, however this is even more tricky. Specifying
colorentry 1 : 210 218 255 /* alice blue */ colorentry 2 : 205 92 92 /* indian red */ colorentry 3 : 46 139 87 /* sea green */causes the default colors blue, red and green to be overwritten. Now if color: blue is specified, the color alice blue appears. Table 1 shows the default color map.
