This should show only the end values of the colour scale. [img]https://my.originlab.com/ftp/forum_and_kbase/Images/label clash.png[/img] Normally I have this under control by setting just one major level and ~100 minor levels to give a smooth colour transition and only the end labels appear. The trouble is, if I want to actually activate contour lines in my plot at some intermediate resolution (say ~ 10 levels) then all of these labels appear on the color bar. The 'color bar style' dialog enables you to set the labels manually (in my case 'Levels...Custom levels...Major ticks..By Count = 2), but I want to do this programmatically. Is it still the case that you cannot control these settings via Labtalk? https://my.originlab.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=19893 I am pretty sure that this dialog has been upgraded in 2018...but while it has a 'hide head and tail levels' button it does not have the opposite, which is what I want. https://www.originlab.com/doc/Origin-Help/ColorScale I had a look to see whether you can access this in OriginC, looking at the tree stucture described in here https://www.originlab.com/doc/OriginC/guide/Customizing-Data-Plots I extracted the tree info as per the suggestions (see below) but I don't think this includes the settings for the scale bar, only the plot itself. Any ideas? J.
