Is there a way to change the color of a line according to the numbers in a different column?
e.g. A(x) B(y) C(y?, color!)
1 7 1 2 5 1 3 3 1 4 2 2 5 6 2 6 5 3 7 4 3 8 7 3 9 9 4 10 2 4 so that when I plot the line it will begin with color 1 (e.g. black) then continue in color 2 (e.g. red between x=4 and 6, then change to color 3 (e.g. green) between x=6 and 9 and eind with color 4(e.g. blue) Best would be a way to have the colors follow the rainbow colors as in a contour plot
You can double click the plotted line and go to Line tab of Plot Details dialog. Click Color control and choose By Points tab.
You can choose Indexing: Col(C). Then Color List tab will show in Plot Details dialog for you to specify what color is for 1, what color is for 2, etc.
Or you can choose Colormapping: Col(C). Then Colormap tab will show. Click Fill column header and choose Load Pallette. There are many built-in palette such as Rainbow.
now I would like to use a rainbow color list that stretches between min and max values of the color column list. I.e. in a way as you can do it with the z-values in a contour plot.
I see that I can select a rainbow color palette (system color list), but it is fixed to 13 color values. is there a way to use a color palette that will stretch with a given step width or a given number of steps between the min and max value of a given color column list?
Also I would like to show a vcolor legend on the graph indicating color and corresponding color column entry.
