# Colormap
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `Colormap` extension provides an easier way to set up a different - static -
|
|
|
|
color map per-layer. This means that we can set up a map of colors for each key,
|
|
|
|
on a per-layer basis, and whenever a layer becomes active, the color map for
|
|
|
|
that layer is applied. Colors are picked from a 16-color palette, provided by
|
|
|
|
the [LED-Palette-Theme][plugin:l-p-t] plugin. The color map is stored in
|
|
|
|
`EEPROM`, and can be easily changed via the [FocusSerial][plugin:focusserial]
|
|
|
|
plugin, which also provides palette editing capabilities.

## Using the extension
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To use the extension, include the header, tell it the number of layers you have,
|
|
|
|
register the `Focus` hooks, and it will do the rest.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```c++
|
|
|
|
#include <Kaleidoscope.h>
|
|
|
|
#include <Kaleidoscope-EEPROM-Settings.h>
|
|
|
|
#include <Kaleidoscope-Colormap.h>
|
|
|
|
#include <Kaleidoscope-FocusSerial.h>
|
|
|
|
#include <Kaleidoscope-LED-Palette-Theme.h>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
KALEIDOSCOPE_INIT_PLUGINS(EEPROMSettings,
|
|
|
|
LEDPaletteTheme,
|
|
|
|
ColormapEffect,
|
|
|
|
Focus);
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
void setup(void) {
|
|
|
|
Kaleidoscope.setup();
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ColormapEffect.max_layers(1);
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Plugin methods
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The extension provides an `ColormapEffect` singleton object, with a single method:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### `.max_layers(max)`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> Tells the extension to reserve space in EEPROM for up to `max` layers. Can
|
|
|
|
> only be called once, any subsequent call will be a no-op.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Focus commands
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### `colormap.map`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> Without arguments, prints the color map: palette indexes for all layers.
|
|
|
|
>
|
|
|
|
> With arguments, updates the color map with new indexes. One does not need to
|
|
|
|
> give the full map, the plugin will process as many arguments as available, and
|
|
|
|
> ignore anything past the last key on the last layer (as set by the
|
|
|
|
> `.max_layers()` method).
