Configuration File CONFIG.PRF
The CONFIG.PRF file contains initial parameters which are used as default values for the program. Modify them here, if you want to have the change permanet. Save the original CONFIG.PRF. It helps you to avoid difficulties. Format of the information in CONFIG.PRF must be preserved.

Colors
Colors for text mode are loaded from the file COLORS.PRF. Different colors can be used for all windows in Graphics. They are loaded from configuration file SCREEN.PRF after the beginning. The background color of the main graphic window can be changed in Graphics by pressing ALT B.
Different colors can be used for the plotting of patterns. They are loaded from CONFIG.PRF after the start. They can be changed either in File parameters of Files submenu for each pattern separately or from Main menu in Graphics by pressing <ALT C> for the Current file .
Colors : (standard palette is
used)
0 black 8 dark grey
1 blue 9 light blue
2 green 10 light green
3 cyan 11 light cyan
4 red 12 light red
5 magenta 13 light magenta
6 brown 14 yellow
7 light gray 15 white
FORMAT of COLORS.PRF:
The file 'COLORS.PRF' contains codes for the colors of main menu. There are 7 different sets (try which one is which). In each line the following colors are defined :
Frame, Header, Body of menu, Selected item, Highlighted character, Help row
Used notation: $bf (b... background color number, f... foreground color number) or only: f (b=0 automatically)
The files HERCMONO.PRF, CGA.PRF,EGA.PRF and VGA.PRF are provided for different graphic cards. They can be copied into the file SCREEN.PRF from which the initial parameters for windows in Graphics are loaded. If the file is not found, default values are used. It is not recommended to modify most of the lines.
FORMAT of SCREEN.PRF:
groups:
line 1-4 Main graphic window
for the data plot
5-8 Main bottom text window in graphics
9-12 Top text window used mainly for help
13-16 2nd top text window used mainly for information line
(current file)
17-20 3rd top window used for peak parameters
21-24 Window for plotting the residua (differencesbetween
experimental and calculated profile).
25-28 Split window 1 (not used in program)
29-32 Split window 2 (not used in program)
each group contains the following parameters:
line 1 : left, right, top,
bottom screen coordinates of window
line 2 : 1.. clip true or 2 .. clip false
line 3 : foreground color , background color
line 4 : text font, direction, character size, justification,
horizontal , justification vertical
(text font : 0.. standard, 2.. small
direction : 0.. horizontal 1..vertical
character size : magnification factor 1-10
justification : 0 .. left bottom 1 .. center center, 2 .. right
top)
It is not recommended to modify lines 2 , 4 and better also not 1.
line 33 length of X-axis ticks, length of Y-axis ticks, size of point markers in X-direction, size of markers in Y-direction
line 34 size of graphic menu bar (x and y)
line 35 (used for menu in
graphics)
line 36 axis color, color of the graphic cursor
line 37 default position of graphic cursor (x and y coordinates)
Symbols :
The following symbols can be
used for the plotting of diffraction patterns:
- solid line
. dots
x crosses
o circles
They are loaded from CONFIG.PRF after the start.
They can be changed either in File parameters of Files menu for each pattern separately or from Main menu in Graphics for the Current file after the pressing <ALT Z>.
Line types :
The following line types can
be used (if the Symbol is '-'):
0 ... solid line
1 ... dotted line
2 ... center line
3 ... dashed line
4 - 7 as above but thick
They can be changed in File parameters of Files menu for each pattern separately.
Alpha 2 Elimination
The file 'ALPHA2.PRF' contains histograms for the alpha2 elimination. It can be updated and/or extended (see original reference).
