Color Grid Dialog Box

The Color Grid dialog box is used to color the grid according to the value of a data set or boundary condition.  It is displayed by selecting Data|Color Grid…

The user chooses the data set or boundary condition used to color the grid in the combo box at the top of the dialog box.  If the item chosen, such as "Specified_Head", can vary with time, the user should also select the time in the edit box labeled "Time".

The user can select the range to be colored by checking the check boxes labeled "Lower limit" and "Upper limit" and then entering the desired limit in the edit box to the right of the corresponding check box.

Different color schemes can be used to associate a given value of the data set or boundary condition with a color.  The desired color scheme is selected in the combo box near the bottom of the dialog box.  The range of colors in the selected color scheme is displayed below the combo box.

To cycle through the range of colors for a color scheme more than one time, change the value in the edit box labeled "Cycles".

For more information about color schemes see Light and Bartlein (2004, 2005), and Stephenson (2005).
