11The appearance of Ruffus flowcharts produced by :ref:`pipeline_printout_graph <pipeline_functions.pipeline_printout_graph>` 
12can be extensively customised.
13
14This is mainly controlled by the :ref:`user_colour_scheme <pipeline_functions.pipeline_printout_graph.user_colour_scheme>`  (note UK spelling of "colour") parameter 
15
16Example:
17
18    Use colour scheme index  = 1
19    ::
20
21        pipeline_printout_graph ("flowchart.svg", "svg", [final_task],
22                                 user_colour_scheme = {
23                                                        "colour_scheme_index" :1,
24                                                        "Pipeline"      :{"fontcolor" : '"#FF3232"' },
25                                                        "Key"           :{"fontcolor" : "Red",      
26                                                                          "fillcolor" : '"#F6F4F4"' },
27                                                        "Task to run"   :{"linecolor" : '"#0044A0"' },
28                                                        "Final target"  :{"fillcolor" : '"#EFA03B"',
29                                                                          "fontcolor" : "black",    
30                                                                          "dashed"    : 0           }
31                                                       })

34There are 8 colour schemes by setting ``"colour_scheme_index"``:
35    ::
36
37        pipeline_printout_graph ("flowchart.svg", "svg", [final_task],
38                                  user_colour_scheme = {"colour_scheme_index" :6})

41These colours were chosen after much fierce arguments between the authors and friends, and much
42inspiration from  http://kuler.adobe.com/#create/fromacolor. Please
43feel free to submit any additional sets of colours for our consideration.
