Color Translations
Choose the color format for exporting.
♦ Normal exports color without modification from the plot file.
♦ Inverse filters the colors and replaces them with the negative (or inverse) color value.
For example, if an object is filled with 0% cyan, 100% magenta, 25% yellow, and 25%
black, the inverted image will contain 100% cyan, 0% magenta, 75% yellow, and 75%
black.
♦ Inverse Grays Only filters gray scale colors and replaces them with the negative color
value. All other colors export without modification.
♦ Gray Scale filters the colors and replaces them with a shade of gray (from white to
black) that represents their luminosity.
♦ Inverse Gray Scale filters the colors and replaces them with a shade of gray (from
white to black) that represents the opposite luminosity.
