These notes explain how to use the 'ctr807' aml and shade set in ARC/INFO for
the prepartion of thematic maps.

The 'ctr807.aml' was created to provide an integrated, consistent shade set for
thematic maps. The individual colors that compose this shade set are the colors
most commonly used in the thematic maps of the USGS (U.S. Geological Survey).

The colors are specified with the CMYK color system, which is supported by
ARC/INFO and is the system of choice for the printing contractors used by the
USGS. Use of the CMYK system enables the production personnel to work with
confidence that the final four-color negative separates produced on an
electronic prepress system will contain the colors that were specified. The
intermediate proof plots that are produced on any of the common paper and film
plotters can be expected to be reasonably consistent in regard to color, within
the hardware limitations of the various plotters.


>>> HOW TO PRODUCE A 'CTR807.SHD' SHADE SET
Arc: ctr807		[run ctr807.aml]
			[you will be asked to choose two percentages for color
			saturation as explained on screen]

The 'ctr807.shd' shade set is produced in your current working directory. This
shade set can be used as a replacement for 'plotter.shd'.


>>> HOW TO PRODUCE A 'CTR807.SHD' PLOT FILE
Arc: ctr807				[run ctr807.aml to produce ctr807.shd]
Arc: shd ctr807.shd			[run shd.aml to produce ctr807.gra]
Arc: hpgl2 ctr807.gra ctr807.hp2	[produce HPGL2 plot file]
					[rotation is not necessary]

The 'ctr807.hp2' plot file can be sent to any plotter that can handle the HPGL2
format. For example, if you want to plot using the Unix SVR4 print system,
enter the following command from either the ARC/INFO or system prompt:
	lp -d your_plotter_name ctr807.hp2
The plot file will be spooled to the plotter, and you can return to your work
without waiting for the plotting to finish.


>>> SYSTEM INFORMATION
The following information is specific to 'greenwood.cr.usgs.gov'
which is located at the USGS in Denver, CO. If you set up the 'ctr807' files on
your own system, then you might have to make some modifications.
