Dialog Box: Crystal Colors [ 3D Display Parameters dialog]

This allows specification of separate colors for each individual in twins and epitaxial intergrowths.

The list box gives the RGB components for each crystal. Crystal number 1 is the main crystal. The R, G and B components for the selected crystal may be modified in the edit boxes at the bottom of the dialog, or you can modify the color graphically by clicking on the Select Color button.

In some twin and epitaxial intergrowths, the faces of two or more individual crystals may be coincident, i.e. may overlap in places. If the crystals are given different colors, the color of the overlap areas is not predictable; parts of this area may be one color and parts another.
