Using the imagecolortuner application to configure the renderer factory

The imagecolortuner application can be found in <installdir>/samples/framework/imagecolortuner where <installdir> is the directory where you have installed JViews TGO. This utility enables you to find the best values for the parameters of IltNEImageBaseRendererFactory quickly and easily.
To set the parameters:
  1. Click File>Load Image to load your image.
  2. Customize the Carrying Traffic with alarm representations. You have to choose the gray level that will be mapped to the normal alarm color. For details see Creating network element types from images and customizing them. To do so, you can either display the tab called Row 1 and use the slider or click in the zoomed view on a pixel that has the color you want to be mapped to the normal alarm color.
  3. Customize the No Traffic representation. You have to indicate which details of your original image should have the dark color. For details see Creating network element types from images and customizing them. To do so, display the tab called Row 2 and adjust the two sliders. The first slider adjusts the threshold for bright colors: colors of the original image brighter than this threshold will be displayed in the appropriate dark color depending on the state and alarms. The second slider adjusts the threshold for dark colors: colors of the original image darker than this threshold will also be displayed in the appropriate dark color depending on the state and alarms.
  4. Click File>View Source to display the sample source code. The source code needed to create your new type as it is currently represented on screen is displayed. The factory constructor contains the appropriate values.
You can create your new type by noting or copying the parameter values or the entire code and pasting it into your JViews TGO application.
