Coloring the data

Lively Data : August 18, 2003

Choosing a color scale to plot data is not arbitrary. There are the minimum and maximum values, of course, but also what happens at mid-scale (around zero): do you wish to highlight the difference between positive and negative values, or is this irrelevant? The Live Access Server allows you to choose between several color scales. It's up to you to make a good choice!
