Color

You can set the color of lines on the map in one of the following ways:

  • Based on a data attribute: the color of each element depends on the attribute values.
  • Specify a single color for all elements.

Parameter
Description
Color basisNumeric attribute that determines the color of lines on the map and in the legend according to the color palette. Available values depend on the data in the sample.
To reset the parameter, click Cross icon next to its name.
Type of scaleDistribution type used to calculate data ranges in the legend:
  • Logarithmic - logarithmic distribution. Suitable for displaying data that changes over a wide range or differs by several orders of magnitude.
  • Linear - uniform distribution. Suitable for displaying values of the same order.
  • Exponential - exponential distribution. Suitable if you need to highlight small values and ignore large ones, and for displaying data that changes quickly.
  • Adjustable - manual configuring of ranges. In all ranges except the last one, the specified upper (right) limit is not included in the range.
Number of rangesNumber of data ranges in the legend and colors in the palette from 1 to 10.

Ranges are calculated automatically based on the Type of scale (for Logarithmic, Linear, and Exponential types). To customize ranges manually, enter the required limits or change the order and number of ranges (Adjustable type). In all ranges except the last one, the specified upper (right) limit is not included in the range.

To change the order of ranges, hold down Move icon next to the range and drag it. To add a range, click Plus icon. To delete a range, click Trash icon.
