|
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 on top of everything else. The extension supports
|
|
transparent colors, to make things easier.
|
|
|
|
Both the palette and the color map is stored in EEPROM, and the palette is
|
|
limited to 15 colors (with the 16th being the transparent color). The plugin can
|
|
work together with the [Focus][plugin:focus] plugin, to make it easier to update
|
|
the palette or the color map itself.

|
## Using the extension
|
|
|
|
To use the extension, include the header, tell it the number of layers you have,
|
|
and it will do the rest.
|
|
|
|
```c++
|
|
#include <Kaleidoscope.h>
|
|
#include <Kaleidoscope-LED-Palette-Theme.h>
|
|
#include <Kaleidoscope-Colormap.h>
|
|
#include <Kaleidoscope-Focus.h>
|
|
|
|
void setup (void) {
|
|
Kaleidoscope.setup ();
|
|
USE_PLUGINS (&ColormapEffect, &Focus);
|
|
|
|
ColormapEffect.configure (1);
|
|
Focus.addHook (FOCUS_HOOK_LEDPALETTETHEME);
|
|
Focus.addHook (FOCUS_HOOK_COLORMAP);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Extension methods
|
|
|
|
The extension provides an `ColormapEffect` singleton object, with a single method:
|
|
|
|
### `.configure(maxLayers)`
|
|
|
|
> Tells the extension to reserve space in EEPROM for up to `maxLayers` layers.
