Does anyone have a Deluxe Paint manual that explains how to do color cycle in DP ? Or any other manual/instruction how to do it?

First select any color in the current range from the toolbox palette and
then choose Cycle from the Picture menu (or just press TAB on the
keyboard). The colors in the brushes (and in any other part of the
page using the range colors) now automatically step through their
ranges. Cycling speed is adjusted with the speed slider in the Palette box: left for slow, right for fast. As the speed increases, the
brushes begin to pulse and move. The highest speed setting gener-
ates a strobe effect that can be a little disorienting. You can change
the cycle direction by clicking on the small arrow to the right of the
Speed slider. To cycle all the channels through their ranges at once,
choose MultiCycle from the Amiga's Prefs menu

Color cycling can be used to create simple repetitive anima-
tions. Figure 5-l0 demonstrates one way to make a spoked wheel
turn.


First, set the palette. Create a spread of six colors from dark to
light and then make this spread a range on channel 1.
~
Draw the wheel using the circle and straight-line tools. The
wheel has six wheel sections and six spokes. Fill in the sections
with successive colors in the range. Each spoke is attached to a
wheel section of the same color. The hub is filled with a color
not in the range, so it won't cycle.
~
Hit the TAB key to start cycling. The wheel appears to turn. Fig-
ure 5-10 shows the six stages of the cycle, with the small pal-
ettes indicating how the colors move through the cycle at each
stage. Adjust the Speed slider to make the wheel turn faster or
slower. Flip the cycle-direction arrow up or down to reverse the
direction of spin.

You can use this technique to animate the wheels of a wagon,
car, or locomotive. Other simple animations can be brought to life
with color cycling, such as making water run, a crankshaft turn,
wings flap, signs flash, dials flicker, rain or snow fall, dust rise,
lightning flash, eyes blink, or leaves tremble.
