The default color method is the Solid color option. This method uses a single color for all contours. As an alternative, the user can define a ramp of colors. These colors are distributed across the range of contour values in a continuous fashion, giving each contour its own color. If specific contour values are specified, the user controls whether the colors are distributed by index or by value in the upper right portion of the dialog.

The Color Options dialog lets the user determine how the contours and vectors will be colored. The Color Options dialog is opened from the Data menu, or from the Color Ramp... button on the Contours and Vectors tabs of the Display Options dialog.

The default color method is the Solid color option. This method uses a single color for all contours. As an alternative, the user can define a ramp of colors. These colors are distributed across the range of contour values in a continuous fashion, giving each contour its own color. If specific contour values are specified, the user controls whether the colors are distributed by index or by value in the upper right portion of the dialog. The following types of color ramps are supported by SMS:

  • Solid color – A single color is used for all values.
  • Intensity ramp – The color ramp is defined as a continuous variation of the intensity of the default solid color. This is the same color used for the Solid color option.
  • Hue ramp – The ramp is a continuous variation of hues using the hue-saturation-value color model.
  • User Defined Palettes – User defined color ramp.

If using an intensity ramp or hue ramp, the ramp can be edited to include only a portion of the entire ramp, or converted to a User Defined Palettes for further editing. The user modifies the portion of the ramp to be used by setting the minimum and maximum values for hue or intensity with the scroll bars in the Color Options dialog. These controls specify where the minimum value will be mapped into the ramp and where the maximum value will be mapped. The reverse button changes the direction of the color gradation in the color ramp.
