    • savePalette

      void savePalette(Object key, Palette palette)
      Save a palette. This is a convenience method that provides a way for apps (and the core) to remember palettes that were previously used. The main idea is that palettes can be saved with an arbitrary key (use the full name of the class to avoid conflicts) and recalled later. This mechanism is used internally by the Styles (vizmap) interface to remember palette selections used for color visual properties.
      Parameters:
      key - the key to save this palette under
      palette - the Palette to save

    • retrievePalette

      Palette retrievePalette(Object key)
      Retrieve a palette previously saved
      Parameters:
      key - the key that was used to save the Palette
      Returns:
      the saved Palette or null
