Working with Visualization Data Ranges and Color Gradients
Support for Customized Data Ranges and Color Gradients
The following visualization
types enable you to customize the data range and color gradient:
Heat map
Geo map (with the Color role
assigned)
Bubble plot (with continuous data
assigned to the Color role)
Network diagram (with the Node
Color or Link Color role assigned)
Word cloud (with the Color role
assigned)
Treemap (with the Color role
assigned)
Specify a Custom Color Gradient
To specify a custom
color gradient:
Right-click on the color
gradient in the legend, and then select Edit Color Gradient.
From the Edit
Color Gradient window, select a color gradient from
the Color gradient drop-down list.
Click OK to
apply the new color gradient.
Specify a Custom Data Range
To specify a custom
data range:
Right-click on the color
gradient in the legend, and then select Configure Color
Gradient.
From the Select
Color Gradient window, deselect Automatically
adjust color range to data.
In the Lower field,
specify the lower bound for the data range.
If the selected color
gradient uses three colors, specify the inflection point of the gradient
in the Inflection field, or select Use
midpoint to use the midpoint between the lower and upper
values as the inflection point. The inflection point is the point
for the middle color in a three-color gradient.
In the Upper field,
specify the upper bound for the data range.
Click OK to
apply the new color gradient.
Share a Color Gradient and Data Range between Visualizations
To share a data range
and color gradient between visualizations:
If the data range has
not been customized, then right-click on the legend for the color
gradient and data range that you want to share, and then select Lock
Data Range.
Right-click on the legend
for the color gradient and data range that you want to share, and
then select Transfer Configuration. The Select
compatible visualizations window appears.
Select the visualizations
that you want to share the color gradient and data range with. The
visualizations are sorted based on their similarity to the source
visualization. Visualizations that use the same data items and visualizations
that are the same type are shown at the top of the list.
When you are finished,
click OK to apply the color gradient and
data range to all of the selected visualizations.
Remove Customized or Shared Color Data Ranges
To remove a customized
or shared data range from a visualization, right-click on the legend,
and select Remove Custom Data Range.
