This function allows you to load a color scheme from a flat file or an internet location. You can specify it the loaded palette will be appended to the current one or if it will overwrite the current color scheme.

loadPalette($FileName,$Overwrite=FALSE);

Where :




A color scheme is a text file containing a list of colors. Colors are composed of their Red, Green, Blue and Alpha properties. To create your own color scheme, just create a CSV file using a coma as delimiter between the parameters and a carriage return to separate the colors :

239,210,121,100
149,203,233,100
2,71,105,100
175,215,117,100
44,87,0,100
222,157,127,100

 /* Create the pData object */
 $MyData = new pData(); 

 /* Will append the "autumn" palette to the current one */
 $MyData->loadPalette("palettes/autumn.color");

 /* Will replace the whole color scheme by the "desert" palette */
 $MyData->loadPalette("palettes/desert.color", TRUE);
