From the Colour Configuration Page you can save the colour schemes you develop to disk. There are two reasons why you may wish to do this. You may have developed a general colour scheme that you like to use in order to explore the Mandelbrot Set and Julia Sets, as it brings out the details well. Alternatively, you may have found a region of a Fractal, and spent some time devising a colour scheme to go with it. If you plan to save the definition of this Fractal region, you would want to save the colour scheme to go with it.

Colour Schemes are saved as files with a .FRC extension. These are XML files, and you can edit these in a text-based editor, such as Notepad, should you wish to. You can also view them in a web browser.

To save a colour scheme to disk, either click on the Save toolbar button, or select Save Colour Scheme from the File menu, or press Ctrl+S. You are prompted to select the filename you wish to save your colour scheme under.

To retrieve a colour scheme from disk, either click on the Open toolbar button, or select Open Colour Scheme from the File menu, or press Ctrl+O.
