Gradient Scale

A gradient scale is a linear scale of blended colors. Each color defined for a numeric range blends with
the next color, thus forming a gradient strip. Each point on the gradient scale represents a unique color
and value. So, entities with different values appear in unique colors as per the position of the value on
the gradient scale. All the lower and upper limits in the gradient scale are marked with ticks.
To create a Gradient Scale label:
1. Access Gradient Scale label type according to previous procedures
2. On the Label Setup dialog box, under Scale Orientation, touch the button that indicates how
you want the gradient scale to display (top, bottom, left or right).
3. Under Tick Values, touch the Start Value data field and enter the starting value for the scale.
4. Under Tick Values, touch the End Value data field and enter the end value for the scale.
The Label Size section defines the size of the gradient scale label. Side A (the long side) can be
defined by either setting the distance between each tick mark (By Tick Spacing) or by setting an
overall length of the scale (By Total Length). Populating one of these parameters automatically
calculates the other parameter since they are dependent on each other. Side B is the dimension for
the short side of the label.
5. Under Label Size, touch the option box that you want to determine the size of the label.
6. Touch the data field for the option box selected and enter the requested measurement.
7. Touch Next.
8. Under Tick Lines, touch the button that displays how you want the tick marks to display.
9. Under Tick Lines, touch the button that represents the desired width of the tick marks.
10. Touch Show Range Indicator option box if you want the colored bar to display along with the
tick marks.
11. To change the size of the color bar, touch Color Bar Height (% of B): data field and indicate the
percentage the color bar should occupy of the gradient scale.
