Shading colours
These two colours are used for shading the spatial plot. The colour of any point will be a linear blend of the two colours. You select the extreme colours to be used and all other colours will be made as a mixture of these two. For example, with the default low values as blue and the high as red, the intermediate colours will be in purple.
From (low values) | A dropdown list of colours. Select the colour to be used to shade the lowest values in the shade plot. |
To (high values) | A dropdown list of colours. Select the colour to be used to shade the highest values in the shade plot. |
Shading scale
The plot shades the cells of the plot in a progression of 512 shades between the two colours chosen. The range of values assigned to each class is controlled by this option:
Natural | The shade classes are equal widths on the natural scaling of the data. |
Percentile | The shade classes contain equal numbers of points, i.e. spaced equally on the percentiles of the data. |
