Color schemes
Which colors and threshold values you choose for the colors in a visualization, and the color axis mode, are all part of a visualization's color scheme. If you are using the installed client, you can save a color scheme and reuse it in other visualizations.
The two scatter plots above have been configured with different colors. The one to the left has only two colors, each representing a category, and this configuration can easily be defined directly in the Legend. The visualization to the right has a somewhat more complex color configuration. It has a gradient color between the min and max values, an anchor point indicating average, as well as two color rules. To define coloring like that, you must configure it from the visualization properties.
When you are about to define the colors to use in a visualization, you can use one of the predefined color schemes as a starting point, and then modify it to your liking. Which options are available depends on whether the column used to color by is categorical or continuous. When you have finished configuring the colors in a visualization, you can save and reuse the color scheme of the visualization in a number of ways, provided that you use the installed client. For example, you can apply a color scheme to another visualization in the same analysis. You can also save a color scheme to disk for later use, or to the library, to share it with others.
- Using predefined color schemes
You can color visualization items using a predefined color scheme. A predefined color scheme can be used as it is, or as a starting point for any adjustments of the coloring. - Opening a color scheme
You can open a color scheme that has previously been saved to disk or to the library. You can also apply a color scheme from another visualization in the analysis, or open a document color scheme. The color scheme must be in the same axis mode as the visualization where you want to use it. - Applying a color scheme to other visualizations
When you have configured the coloring for a visualization, you can apply that color scheme to other visualizations in your analysis, if the visualizations are colored by a column in the same axis mode. - Saving a color scheme
You can save a color scheme to share it with others or to use it later, either within the same analysis or in other analyses.
