How does WinLINEs AutoColor Color Association work?
The default Color Association for raster plotters (e.g. DesignJets, LaserJets, CadJets, NovaJets) is AutoColor. AutoColor works by passing the color request on to the device. AutoColor uses the minimum width specified as a minimum thickness for lines. When an application requests a thicker line AutoColor passes the width request on to the device so that it is renderd thicker. When you want a particular screen color to be printed with a specific width, add a new pen to the WinLINE carousel using the specific screen color and width that you want. When WinLINE sees a particular colored pen in its carousel it uses the width associated with that color to draw the line instead of passing the request on to the device through the AutoColor assocation.
