Color Parameters

You can make the desired presettings for the colors used in the pattern (color areas) within the color parameter table.

I. Open the color parameters tool window:

The New Pattern xx document window is enabled.
The Yarn Carriers ribbon is enabled.

1: Open the Yarn Carriers tool window via Show Yarn Carriers.

The tool window appears.

For each color in the pattern color tables used in the design pattern, a color area is created in the color parameter table. This means that you can make presettings only once for this color area.
For pattern related, different changes of a color area sub-colors must be created. You have to draw them manually in the design pattern at the point to be changed. Then, other specifications can be set in the color parameter table.

2: Make the desired presettings for the corresponding color:

Knitting-in and out
Change the starting direction of a color (yarn carrier)
Knot or binding at start or end of a color
Border Processing
etc.

3: Apply the changes of the Yarn Carriers tool window to the pattern.
Edit group -> Apply
- or -
Edit group -> Apply and Close

	Synchronize	Applies the changes from the Design Pattern to the open Yarn Carrier View and synchronizes both views to the current state of the pattern.
	Apply	Applies changes for yarn carriers to the Design Pattern. Other changes (e.g. of color parameters) will be applied at once.
	Apply and Close	Applies changes for yarn carriers to the Design Pattern and closes the view. Other changes (e.g. of color parameters) will be applied at once.
	Cancel and Close	Rejects modifications and closes the Yarn Carrier View. Close with Cancel and Close if you only opened the Yarn Carrier view for control.

II. Change the display of the columns in the color parameter table:

1: Move the cursor to the first row of the table header.

2: Open the context menu with RMB.

The context menu appears.


Select Columns	Adding or closing the desired columns in the selection list.
Show Used Columns	Display of the columns used in the pattern
Show All Columns	Display all of the columns

Hide this Group	Hide all columns allocated to a group (color coded)
Hide this Column	Hide the individual column at cursor position

III. Structure and column headers of the color parameter table:

Table header:

1st row:
All the symbols identifying the table columns
2nd Row 'D'
Default settings for the respective column
Settings from the STOLL file - cannot be modified at the moment

Default settings are applied from a STOLL file and cannot be modified at the moment.
These default settings are automatically applied to all colors without specifications.
