palettes.C File Reference

Detailed Description

This macro draws all the high definition palettes available in ROOT.

It generates a png file for each palette and one pdf file, with a table of content, containing all the palettes.

In ROOT, more than 60 high quality palettes are predefined with 255 colors each.

These palettes can be accessed "by name" with gStyle->SetPalette(num). num can be taken within the enum given in the previous link. As an example gStyle->SetPalette(kCividis) will select the following palette.

 
TCanvas *c = nullptr;
 
void draw_palette(int p, TString n)
{
   delete c;
   c = new TCanvas("c", "Contours", 0, 0, 500, 500);
   TF2 *f2 = new TF2("f2", "0.1+(1-(x-2)*(x-2))*(1-(y-2)*(y-2))", 0.999, 3.002, 0.999, 3.002);
   f2->SetContour(99);
   gStyle->SetPalette(p);
   f2->SetLineWidth(1);
   f2->SetLineColor(kBlack);
   f2->Draw("surf1z");
 
   // Title
   TPaveText *pt = new TPaveText(10, 11, 10, 11, "blNDC");
   pt->SetName("title");
   pt->Draw();
   TString num = n;
   num.ReplaceAll(" ", "");
   TLatex *l = new TLatex(-0.8704441, 0.9779387,
                          TString::Format("Palette #%d: %s #scale[0.7]{(#font[82]{k%s})}", p, n.Data(), num.Data()));
   l->SetTextFont(42);
   l->SetTextSize(0.035);
   l->Draw();
   c->Update();
   c->Print(TString::Format("palette_%d.png", p));
 
   TString opt = TString("Title:") + n;
   if (p == kDeepSea)
      c->Print("palettes.pdf(", opt.Data());
   else if (p == kCividis)
      c->Print("palettes.pdf)", opt.Data());
   else
      c->Print("palettes.pdf", opt.Data());
