1. 0 Figure 6 6 Generic Color Map The properties available for a Color Map are dependent on its current Color Map Type Also the properties available for each type are completely separate from those for other types For example the Segments specified for the Temperature type are independent of the Segments specified for the Liquid Temperature type This means that changing Color Map Type will alter what property is being shown in the display beans using that map The Segments of a color map are consecutive regions of increasing value that may have different starting and ending colors This allows for different regions of the overall color map to have separate color values The dialog for editing a color map s segments is displayed in Figure 6 7 Color Map Segments F Generic Color Map Define Range Segments E3 Index Value Value Color Color Io o Y o 100 0 100 0 1000 0 Figure 6 7 Color Map Segments Temp Pressure Quality Void Fraction These color map types work with beans that use either a Volume ID or a Data Channel to retrieve animation data These types use a sets of min max values and min max colors to determine the displayed color for each bean For beans that use a Volume ID the channel that is displayed will be determined by the animation module which loads the data from a graphics file Generic This color map type allows minimum maximum values and colors to be specified along with SI and British
