By coloring the items in a visualization you can add an extra dimension to your data. For instance, you can use colors to identify outliers in the data, or to distinguish different categories. In TIBCO Spotfire there are many ways to customize the coloring in your visualizations. Most of the coloring settings can be found on the Colors page of the Visualization Properties for each visualization type. Configuration of the coloring settings works in a similar way for most of the visualization types. However, for the table, cross table, and heat map it works in a slightly different way. Coloring for those visualizations is therefore described separately.
