Colormap, Range, and Isolines

Customizing Colormaps

Other preset colormaps are accessible by [left click] on the colorbar (or Menu windows → settings → palette). You can change the colors of the palette, their dispositions, etc., and apply your changes using the Status box → ✓ mark.

Adjusting Range and Distribution

To change the range and the distribution of the colorbar ticks:

  1. [Left click] on the value labels to open the Display settings window.

  2. Use the menu “Isovalues…” and the text box below:

  • Two values: Indicate the minimum and maximum.

  • More than two values: Uniformly distribute these isolines along the colorbar, regardless of their value (non-linear ticks).

  • %[0-100]: For the percentile of the displayed value.

  • *[dx]: Between minimum and maximum, sets the step between isolines (dx).

  • /[nx]: Between minimum and maximum, sets the number of isolines (nx).

Edit the thickness and the color of the isolines in this text box as well.

TIPS: You can define h1 = h to define different line style and distribution to get major isolines with h and minor isolines with h1.

Adding Additional Isolines

For additional isolines (e.g., bathymetry isolines on top of the currently displayed field):

  1. Menu windows → formulaAndIso → h.

  2. Assign this new variable to the dedicated field.

  3. Select this variable in the formulaAndIso menu.

  4. View window → display → selected formula variable settings…
