Colors 1

 

The 'Colors 1' page in the Tools tab-pages contains the following commands:

 

1/ Create Sequential Color-Gradient between Row aa and Row bb using Attribute: Hue, Saturation, or Value

This command creates a linear color-gradient between the existing colors in the specified start and end rows. The gradient uses either the Hue, Saturation, or Brightness-values of the start and end colors. The size of the step between each increment is set by the number of rows and the current start and end values.

 

Note that whilst Saturation and Brightness-values operate over a range of 0-100, the Hue operates on a circular range that goes from 0-360 and then carries on from 0 again.

 

If you wish to use colors with different Hue, Saturation, or Brightness-values, I suggest that you design the colors first on the 'Color Designer', and then copy/paste then to the start and end rows, before starting the gradient-tool.

 

 

2/ Flip the Color Range between Row aa and Row bb

This command reverse the colors in the rows between your selected start row and end row. The 'From' color in your start row is swapped with the 'To' color in your end row, etc. etc. Choose the starting row with the 'Row aa' control, and the ending row with the 'Row bb' control.

 

 

3/ Match Colors between Row aa and Row bb to a Uniform Attribute-Amount

This command sets the Hue, Saturation, or Brightness-values for the rows that you have selected to an amount specified by the 'Amount' control, whilst leaving the current values of the other color-attributes unchanged. Choose the starting row with the 'Row aa' control, and the ending row with the 'Row bb' control.

 

 

4/ Adjust Colors between Row aa and Row bb by Adding/Subtracting the Attribute-Amount (capped at max/min)

This command adjusts the Hue, Saturation, or Brightness-values for the rows that you have selected by Adding or Subtracting an amount specified by the 'Amount' control. The resultant value of the Saturation and Brightness levels is capped at [0,100], but the Hue operates on a circular range that goes from 0-360 and then carries on from 0 again, so adding '100' to a current Hue of '320' will result in a new Hue value of '060'. Choose the starting row with the 'Row aa' control, and the ending row with the 'Row bb' control.
