Setting color range

The color range is an important tool providing a lucid way of visualization of results. The program offers two predefined types of color ranges – "Uniform" and "Across zero". Both ranges have a moving minimum and maximum value and predefined colors. The minimum and maximum values are automatically regenerated whenever the variable or a stage of construction is changed. The "Uniform" range means that colors are uniformly spread from the minimum to the maximum value. The "Across zero" range draws the positive values using warm colors (yellow, red), while cold colors (green, blue) are used to represent negative values.    

The program allows for introduction of user-defined ranges with both the fixed minimum and maximum and the moving minimum and maximum. A user-defined range is specified in the "Scale color definition" dialogue window. The range is always defined for the current unit (e.g. kPa, m) – when switching the units the program always adjusts the range particular for a given unit.  

Control units of a tool bar "Ranges"

The following control units are available to manage ranges:

	Select range	a combo list  allows for selecting an already specified and stored range
	Define color ranges	opens the "Scale color definition" dialogue window to create a user-defined range
	Store current range	opens the "New range" dialogue window to store a new range
	Open range manager	opens the window with a list of automatic and user-defined ranges
