Palette Wizard, step 1 of 3

 

Palette title

Give the palette a title.

Palette type

Choose the type of palette from among the following options.

The two general palette types:

·         Linear auto scaled - a linear scale between the minimum and the maxi­mum value in the view, automatically scaled

·         Fixed - a scale where you can choose the intervals freely and where the scale does not change according to the data shown in the view

The two palette types suitable for plotting bathymetries:

·         Land/water auto scaled - as the linear auto scaled with the extension that a special color is specified for land areas

·         Land/water fixed - as the fixed type with the extension that a special color is specified for land areas

Color model

A number of different color models are provided for convenience. These colors may be modified during the second step. However, when using the land/water palette types, the color model is fixed and cannot be changed.

Color order

You may choose to revert the color order in the chosen color model

Number of colors

Choose the number of colors, i.e. the number of intervals in the palette.

HLS

You can choose the color value to be defined by the Hue, Luminance and Saturation (HLS) instead of the default RGB color definition.

Topmost value indication

You can define the way the uppermost value in the color palette is displayed. Per default, the value will be displayed as ‘Above xxx’, however you may choose to display the topmost value by the interval ‘xxx - yyy’.

Nice auto scaled values

Per default the values in an auto scaled palette is set to limit the number of decimals in the displayed color values.
