|
Field Name
|
Select the attribute to apply the thematic coloration. |
|
Selection Set
|
Apply an attribute to a previously defined selection set or to All Elements, which calculates the thematic coloration based on all elements in the model. |
|
Calculate Range
|
Clicking this button will populate the Minimum and Maximum fields with the minimum and maximum values for the attribute selected in the Field Name box. |
|
Minimum
|
Lowest value to be included in thematic coloration. |
|
Maximum
|
Highest value for which thematic coloration will be generated. |
|
Steps
|
Number of even increments that the specifies value range will be divided by. |
|
Use Gradient
|
When this box is checked, variations between two colors will be displayed as a gradient rather than a discrete separation. |
|
Color Maps
|
Thematic coloration is based on attribute ranges. Use the Initialize button to create five evenly spaced ranges and associated colors. Click the New button to add a new row to the table. Click the Delete button to remove the currently selected row from the table.
- Initialize—This button, located to the right of the Contour section, will initialize the Minimum, Maximum, Increment, and Index Increment values based on the actual values observed for the elements in the selection set.
Note: Initialization can be accomplished by clicking the Initialize button to automatically generate values for the minimum, maximum, increment, and index increment to create an evenly spaced thematic set.
- Ramp—Automatically generate a gradient range between two colors that you specify. Pick the color for the first and last values in the list and the program will select colors for the other values.
- Invert—Reverses the order of the colors according to range.
- Above Range Color—The color that will be applied to elements whose value falls above the specified maximum value.
