Roger,
Thanks!
To use the colorize tool you have to open the 'Edit' menu and then check the item that says 'Colorize'. There are no colors assigned by default, so you will have to assign colors to the addresses before you will see any change. Open the 'Setup' menu and then click 'Address Colors' to assign the colors.
There are probably a few ways you could accomplish templates using NCPlot. Here's a method that uses scripts:
Create a folder where you want to keep your template files. Let's say "C:\NCPlot Templates".
Create some template files and put them in the template folder. Call them whatever you want - as an example we'll say "template 1.nc".
Create a script file and put it into the NCPlot script folder at "\Program Files\NCPlot\Scripts". We'll call it "Template 1.vbs". Note that it must end with ".vbs".
Open the ".vbs" file in notepad and type in:
ncplot.ncpfileload "C:\NCPlot Templates\template 1.nc"
Save this file and close it. Now, in NCPlot click the script toolbar button (the one that says "VBS" on it). You will get a list that pops up, "Template 1" should be on it. Click this item on the list and presto! your template file should load into the edit window. Be careful though, this will not prompt you to save changes if you are working on a file, it will clear whatever is there and then load the new file.
Hope this helps!
Scott
