ScaleRangeStyle
is an option for gauge functions to describe how to style different sections of the scale.
Details
- ScaleRangeStyle gives styles for both the background and foreground of the region.
- ScaleRangeStyle->style specifies that all ranges are to be rendered by default with the specified style.
- ScaleRangeStyle->{style1,style2,…} specifies that range i should be styled according to stylei.
- ScaleRangeStyle provides style instructions for ScaleRanges . The possible forms are:
-
None no special stylingAutomatic default stylingstyle style for the background of the range{styleback,stylefront} distinct styles for background and foregroundn styles taken from ColorData [n]"name" discrete styles sampled from ColorData ["name"]cf discrete styles sampled from color function cf
- Styles can be specified using graphics directives such as Thick , Red , and Dashed , as well as Thickness , RGBColor , Dashing , and combinations given by Directive . Styles for the foreground can also contain rules for options such as FontSize and FontFamily .
- ScaleRanges->{{r1,min,r1,max}->s1,{r2,min,r2,max}->s2,…} can be used to specify a style si for range {ri,min,ri,max}.
- Explicit styles specified in the setting for ScaleRanges can override styles specified in ScaleRangeStyle .
Examples
Basic Examples (10)
By default, the scale ranges are styles are based on the marker color:
Apply a style to every range:
Use a list of directives to style each range separately:
Use ScaleRangeStyle->{None ,style} to apply a style to the scale only:
Apply a style to the backgrounds and foregrounds of all the ranges:
Color the scale ranges with built-in color schemes:
Define a one-dimensional color function:
Colors are taken from the Automatic styling if not specified in ScaleRangeStyle :
Styles will repeat cyclically, if necessary:
Rule specified styles override the ScaleRangeStyle :
