I am using OriginPro 9.1 on Window 8.

I am plotting a contour map with a colour fill, where the colour scale goes from 0 to 360. Since it describes degrees - 0 is actually identical to 360. So I want the colour scale to be periodic and continuous.
I tried to make it work in several ways but couldn't - when a region of "0" encounters "360", I get a "cliff", where I actually need the map to be continuous.
is there any way to resolve this?

Thanks much,

Liel

hi,

You can go to Plot Details dialog, Colormap/Contours tab and set Fill to have the same From and To color, with method Introducing Other Colors in Mixing.

Dear Zheng,

Thanks for your reply!

However, I have already tried this, but it does not solve my main problem: I have a region in my map where the maximum value (360), is adjacent to the minimum value (0). Since the colour scale is not periodic, Origin understands it as a "cliff" in the map, and so I get contour lines and coloured domains of all the values in between these two values.

I need some way to plot the data in a coloured filled map, without that "cliff". Is that possible?

Thanks much,

Liel

Hi,

We are sorry but currently our color map only supports monotonic growth. So you may have to manipulate your raw data to let your periodic data into one single period interval first.
