GEMPAK-SNPROF>help border
BORDER
BORDER is the color, line type and line width of the background and
underground plot separated with slashes:
background color; station line color; fill color/
background line type; station line type /
background line width; station line width
If the color is 0, no background will be drawn. The defaults for
color, line type and line width are each 1.
-----
So, depending on your device output:
GEMPAK-SNPROF>help colors
COLORS
COLORS specifies a list of color numbers which must be separated
using semicolons:
color 1 ; color 2 ; ... ; color n
The last color in the list will be repeated, if necessary, to
determine all colors required by the program.
Colors may be entered as a range in the form: first-last-increment.
If the increment is not entered, 1 is assumed.
Color-coding of any parameter may be done based on its own value or
on the value of any other computable parameter. There is a one-to-
one correspondence between the elements in the color list and the
elements in the parameter list (e.g., SFPARM). To color-code any
parameter, replace its corresponding color number in the COLORS
list with the form:
(v1;v2;...;vN-1/c1;c2;...;cN/PARM/E) or
(v1-vN-1-vInc/c1-cN-cInc/PARM/E) or
a combination of a list and a range
where the v's are parameter values, the c's are color numbers, and
PARM is the parameter whose value determines the color. If PARM
is omitted, the parameter will be color-coded based on its own value.
The number of values must be one less than the number of colors. If
a value range is used, an increment must be specified. If a color
range is used and no increment is specified, 1 is assumed. For
example, to color-code a marker based on the 3-hour flash flood
guidance value, the color element corresponding to the parameter
MARK could be specified as:
(0.5;1;1.5;2;3/2;19;21;22;6;4/FF03)
meaning that values less than or equal to .5 inch would be plotted
with color 2, values greater than .5 but less than or equal to 1
would be plotted with color 19, etc.
The E is a flag to indicate whether to include the break value with
the lower range or the upper range of values. Valid values are L
and U, respectively. The default is L for inclusion in the lower
range of values. In the above example, the first data range is
X <= 0.5, the second is 0.5 < X <= 1.0, etc. If the U flag is added,
the ranges change to X < 0.5, 0.5 <= X < 1.0, etc.
If the input is blank, a default of 1 is used. If a color number
of 0 is entered, that parameter or line will not be plotted.
New color assignments may be made by appending the following commands
to the color number:
=INIT -- all colors are initialized to device-dependent
colors
=NAME -- this color number is set to the color specified
in NAME
=r:g:b -- this color number is set using RGB components in
r, g, and b which must be separated using colons.
These components must be in the range 0 - 255.
Note that only =INIT may be appended to a range.
Color number 101 is the background color.
Note that the GIF driver does not accept NAME.
The following colors are the default colors for the given devices:
XW,NC PS,PSP PSC GEMPAK NAMES X COLOR NAMES
1 31 VANILLA bisque1
2 2 RED red
3 3 GREEN green
4 4 BLUE blue
5 5 YELLOW yellow

4 G85 gray85

11 G50 gray50
12 G45 gray45
13 G40 gray40

15 G30 gray30
16 G25 gray25
17 G20 gray20
18 G15 gray15
19 G10 gray10
20 G05 gray5
On the color devices, colors 8 through 30 will provide a range of
colors from brown to red to orange to yellow to green to blue to
violet.
On the Postscript device, 20 gray shades are used.
If this does not clear it up, please send in a copy of your script and
we'll tune it to a white background ;)
---
So perhaps a entry like:
BORDER Background color/type/width 31/1/1
or
BORDER Background color/type/width 32/1/1
Depending upon DEVICE (31 or 32)..and choice of line type and color */1/1
which you will probably want to change for the white background....
Cheers,
Jeff
