Class SynesketchPalette

java.lang.Object
  synesketch.art.util.SynesketchPalette

public class SynesketchPalette
extends java.lang.Object

Representation of a six-part color palette used for Synesketch sketches. Each part of the palette represents colors -- defined by it's coded hex number -- used for visualization of a specific emotion by Ekman: happiness, sadness, anger, fear, disgust, and surprise.

Palettes are property documents written in XML. Synesketch provides one standard palette (data/palette/standard.xml), based on some phycology & visual design theories, but everyone can write it's own palette by writing one's own XML document similar to data/palette/standard.xml.
