💅 PRCOLOR 💅 — bestie's guide to the ident-based color table ✨

okay so this page is from the BRL-CAD User Commands manual, section nged, and it's about a tiny lil command that just... shows you your colors. no cap. let's get into it 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

prcolor — lists all the entries in the ident-based color table 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

prcolor

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no flags, no args, no nothing. she's simple, she's iconic 👑

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So prcolor literally just lists the entries in the ident-based color table. That's the whole job and she does it beautifully 💅

Here's the tea though, so you actually get what you're looking at:

• The ident number of a displayed region is what gets used to look up the appropriate color from the lookup table. iykyk 🔍
• The low and high values you'll see are the limits of region ident numbers that get the indicated r g b color (0-255) applied. so like, ranges, bestie 🫶

And you're not stuck with whatever's there:

• Color table entries may be modified using the color command 🎨
• The entire color table may be edited using the edcolor command 🌈

⚠️ okay this part matters: if a color lookup table exists, its entries will override any color assigned using the mater command. so if your colors look wrong and you're like "but I set it with mater??" — yeah, that's why. the table wins. periodt 💀

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

🌟 Example 1. Review the current ident-based color ranges.

mged>prcolor

Prints the current color table so you can verify which ident ranges are being colorized before you go editing them with color or edcolor. very "check yourself before you wreck yourself" of her, honestly 🙈✨
