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.
