Colour Ramping

Colour ramping automatically generates graduated colours between two colours.

1. Select colours for the values at each end of the colour ramp.
2. Select the check boxes opposite those values.
3. Click the Colour Ramp button. The colours between those you selected as the extremes will take graduated values.

Only one “colour ramp” can be created at a time. That is, all check boxes between one end of a ramp and the other must be selected. However, by creating them in succession, you can define more than one colour ramp for a colour set.

To define colour ramps with very smooth transitions from one range to the next, select Spectrum. See: Colour allocation: Range versus spectrum

If you are using a pen plotter, only select Standard Colours.

Colour ramping and Spectrum should not be used when you intend creating a plot with a pen plotter.
