Field color reversal

The field color reversal means drawing a field to be able to see field overlapping by means of changing

color of overlapping area of fields when drawing a field over an existing field.

The user can set the field color reversal by using commands defined in Table 2.7.1.

Table 2.7.1 Commands for Field Color Reversal Setting

Command

Description

^LRa

Label reverse print

"^LR" specifies or cancels reversal of all field being contained in

the label.

Y: Specifies to reversal all field being contained in the label.

N: Cancels reversal of all field being contained in the label.

^FR

Field reverse print

"^FR" specifies reversal of the current field.

The setting of "^FR" have priority over setting "^LR".

^F(Cr1,g1,b1,a1,i1,r2,g2,b2,a2,i2

Field color settings

"^F(C" specifies or cancels reversal of foreground and

background individually of the current field.

The setting of "^F(C" have priority over setting of "^LR" and

"^FR".

i1 (foreground), i2 (background) =

D: Applies reversal setting of "^LR" or "^FR" to the current field.

R: Specifies reversal of the current field.

N: Cancels reversal of the current field.

Both of foreground and background can be targets of field color reversal.

Opacity of foreground and background affects to a color reversing.

The effect of reversing becomes

small with a fall of the opacity.

The effect by specifying to reversal appears only when a field specified to reversal is drawn over an

existing field.

The relation of an existing field and reversal specification of a drawing field is shown in

Table 2.7.2.

Table 2.7.2 The Relation of an Existing Field and Reversal Specification of a Drawing Field

A field which was drawn by

reversal specification is present.

no reverse

The user can calculate reversed color by the following expression.

Reversed color = (z - x + 1) × (z - y + 1) × 255

z = x × y

x =

color of drawing field

255

y =

color of existing field

255

The color of field is composed by the RGB color model of 256 scale.

The above expression shows the calculation of each composition color (red, green, and blue).
