Linear Distribution

The Linear Distribution method enables you to specify the colour contour interval and the minimum (min) and maximum (max) values.

Zone Colour Ranges Using Linear Distribution

The first colour is all values <= min, and the last colour is all values > max. Individual ranges are evenly distributed between the min and max values.

If a contour is defined, interior breaks are moved down to the nearest multiple of the contour (min and max remain unchanged).

Example:

For a five-colour linear distribution from 0 to 10, the colour ranges are:

contour = dummy (not defined) x <= 0.0 (min) 0 < x <= 3.33 3.33 < x <= 6.66 6.66 < x <= 10.0 x > 10.0 (max)

contour = 3 x <= 0.0 (min) 0 < x <= 3 3 < x <= 6 6 < x <= 10.0 x > 10.0 (max)
