See Section 10- 4.2, “User-Defined Color Map,” for details on modifying a User Defined color map. You can add or delete control points, as well as change RGB values for each control point.
User-Defined: A customizable version of one of the first four options above. Wild is different each time you select it. GrayScale: Color spectrum from black to white. Modern: Seven color spectrum within each color band colors change in intensity from dark to light.įigure 10-17. Large Rainbow: Seven color spectrum from blue to cyan to green to yellow to red to purple to white. Small Rainbow: Five color spectrum from blue to cyan to green to yellow to red. 2.From the Base Color Map drop-down, choose one of the following color maps: The ColorMap dialog appears, as shown in Figure 10-17. To choose a color map: 1.From the Workspace menu, choose Color Map. The color map is used by all frames if you change the color map to modify the look of one frame, all frames with contour flooding or any form of multi-colored are modified as well. This default color map is called Small Rainbow to distinguish it from another color map, Large Rainbow, which adds purple and white beyond the red. By default, Tecplot uses a color map called Small Rainbow, which is a rainbow of colors from blue to cyan to green to yellow to red. This section discusses the global color map. See Section 10- 3.2, “RGB Coloring Options.” 10 - 4 Global Color Map The colors used in flooded contour plots are determined by the global color map, controlled in the Workspace menu, or by frame-specific color options controlled in the Plot menu. This occurs if you supply all three channel variables, and for one or more points, the sum of the variables values does not equal 1.0 or the specified Value at Maximum Intensity. It is possible to have a plot that may contain colors not displayed in the legend.
Notes: When two channels are selected (and one is calculated), the legend is a simple ternary plot with each corner labeled with variable name or a user-specified text string.
Margin: Specify the margin between the legend text and legend box as a percentage of the text height. Fill Color (Filled only): Choose a color for the legend box fill. Box Color: Choose a color for the legend box outline.
Line Thickness: Specify the line thickness as a percentage of frame height.
If you choose Filled or Plain, format the box using the following controls: 11.Select which kind of box you want drawn around the legend (No Box, Filled, or Plain).
When a channel has been calculated (no variable assigned), no label is shown unless the user enters text. To choose a new label for a channel, click Specify, and type in the alternate label. 10.Each channel can be labeled by the name of the assigned variable, or by text you enter.
