Dialog box options:

Value:

For a representation value, type a value between the maximum and maximum value of this domain.

For a representation gradual, type a value between 0 and 100%.

Color:

Select a color for this limit (break point); open the list box by clicking it. To create a custom color, you can click the create button or click the 'Custom' item at the bottom of the color list.

The color bar at the bottom of the representation editor shows the colors of the entire representation.

Tips:

To interactively edit the colors of a value map,

  1. Display the value map in a map window;
  2. Open the map's representation by selecting Representation from the Edit menu in the map window;
  3. In the Representation Value/Gradual editor, edit colors, insert limits, etc.;
  4. Keep the editor open and switch to the map window;
  5. Click the Redraw button in the map window to apply the changes;
  6. Switch to the Representation editor to continue to insert limits and changing colors and switch to the map window and click the Redraw button to apply the changes, until satisfied.

 

When you displayed a value map in the map window and you selected a system representation, like Gray, Pseudo, etc., you cannot edit the representation. Instead, in the map's Display Options dialog box, click the create button next to the Representation list box to create a new representation. After the Representation editor has opened, you can interactively edit the new representation of the map.
