bin files from CCv2.13 alpha in CCViewer

Post by pmr »

Hi, Daniel:
Is there hope to be able soon to read in CCViewer .bin files created in CCv2.13, with those 'beautiful' text labels in the SF scales ? The usefulness of my app depends on that.
Good job You're making!

I've just uploaded the 1.41.alpha version of ccViewer (you can download it from the website).

Hopefully it should be able to handle this new feature.

Hi,
I'm using the latest versions of CC and CCViewer. In CC I can define a customed colorscale with text labels and it all looks fine. I save the cloud as .txt and when I open it in CCViewer the text labels and the colorscale are gone. In .bin, the text is also gone although the color scale is correct. I can't see a way to import colorscales to CCViewer either.
Another question: In command line mode, how can I set an SF active and import a colorscale before viewing the cloud in CCViewer? Can I use CC, open the file, set the active SF, set the colorscale, and start CCViewer in one line?

Ah, you have to save the cloud as a BIN file (as it's the only format that can store this custom color scale).
