 +====== Custom Elevation Coloring ======
  
 +----
 +Locus Map currently offers only a few general palettes for elevation coloring. Here is an instruction how to customize the coloring according to your personal needs:
 +  * create a new folder in Locus root directory: **Locus/data/interpolators**
 +  * get coloring palettes e.g. here: http://soliton.vm.bytemark.co.uk/pub/cpt-city/
 +  * the palettes are files in **.CPT** format
 +  * place the CPT files in the "interpolators" folder - Locus Map will offer them for color shading
 +

 +**Important info**: every palette has defined range of colors. Like e.g. this palette: http://soliton.vm.bytemark.co.uk/pub/cpt-city/esri/hypsometry/eu/tn/europe_2.png.index.html . It has defined range from 0 to 126. Locus anyway takes these values as 0 metres - 126 metres so they are usable actually only for Paris :). It is necessary to **define values of expected elevations manually** (as text files) or **download palettes that have correct values** like e.g. this: http://soliton.vm.bytemark.co.uk/pub/cpt-city/wkp/country/tn/wiki-france.png.index.html
