    white outlines on black bricks —Tim David
   This is mainly concerned with ML-Cad but I know that L-Draw uses the same data and possibly others. Is it possible to change the outline colours of black bricks to white so that they show up better. I have a feeling that there is a variable because (...) (24 years ago, 27-Mar-01, to lugnet.cad)
   
        Re: white outlines on black bricks —Rui Manuel Silva Martins
     (...) Actually, for each color, exists a predefined inverse color, for black, you get a less than black color, wich is actually a grey color. If you read the LDRAW FAQ, I believe the colors are described there. NOTE: It would be common sense, that (...) (24 years ago, 27-Mar-01, to lugnet.cad)

     (...) This doc (URL) the "inverse" colours for colour 0-15, are other colours documented somewhere? ROSCO (20 years ago, 18-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad)

     (...) A little farther down in the document, it says this (in regards to dithered colors): "Finally, the edge-color of Color 1 is used as the edge color of the dithered color." These documents define two sets of values: (URL) LDraw Config File> (...) (20 years ago, 18-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

     (...) LDLite supports a 0 COLOR meta-statement, where you can select the edge-color for a specific color code. Quoting from the LDLite 1.6 html file: (...) The statement for white edges on black would be: 0 COLOR 0 Black 15 0 0 0 255 0 0 0 255 (...) (24 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.cad)
    
         Re: white outlines on black bricks —Michael Lachmann
     (...) This is because MLCad blocks modifications to colors from 0 to 63 (including). All other colors can be modified by the user. I did that because I believed that this colors are fix (quasi standard) and must not be modified. If everyone here (...) (24 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.cad)
    
         Re: white outlines on black bricks —James Jackson
      (...) Blocking's fine Michael, as far as it concerns standard-issue LDraw Values (0-16, 24, 32-48), but I think it would be nice to change color values to make them look like a vast improvement, such as 57 being made into a better looking (...) (24 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.cad)
    
         Re: white outlines on black bricks —Steve Bliss
     (...) I would appreciate it if the blocking was turned off. Alternately, if ML-CAD allows colors to be set via ldconfig.ldr, that would be good for me. Truthfully, I haven't even checked for this support; I don't have time right now. Steve (20 years ago, 18-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad)

   (...) While this would be very helpful, some method of precisely controlling the thickness, rather than the color, of the edgelines while rendering is something I consider even more important. It may be harder to do though. ++Lar (24 years ago, 29-Mar-01, to lugnet.cad)
