#!EF #!N #!N Functional Details #!N #!N This module colors a 
specified field (  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   data #!EF ) by mapping hues to 
data values. #!N #!I0 #!N #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   data 
#!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N is an input field with data. If 
the input is a vector field, the colors are based on 
the magnitude of the data. If the input consists of matrices, 
the colors are based on the determinants. #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   
 #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   opacity #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N specifies the opacity of the 
resulting object. Allowed values range from 0 to 1. Its default 
value is 1 for surfaces and 0.5 for volumes. #!N #!I0 
#!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   intensity #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N scales the amount 
of color. For opaque surfaces, the parameter scales from black (0) 
to full color (1). For volumes, it controls the brightness of 
the object when viewed along its longest dimension. Values greater than 
1 can be used to brighten translucent surfaces or volumes that 
appear too dim. See also  #!Lcvolrnd,dxall820 h Coloring Objects for Volume Rendering  #!EL  . #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   
 #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   start #!EF and  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   start #!EF - #!EF  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   range 
#!EF #!I50 #!N specify the colors applied to the minimum and 
maximum data values mapped. By default, the minimum data value is 
colored blue (0.6666), and the maximum is colored red (0 or 
1; colors are defined cyclically from -<infinity> to <infinity>, so that 
a  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   start #!EF of -1 = 0 =1, and so 
on). #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   saturation #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N 
specifies the saturation of the colors used. This value must be 
between 0 and 1. #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   min #!EF 
and  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   max #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N specify the minimum and 
maximum data values mapped. If neither is specified, the minimum and 
maximum values of  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   data #!EF are mapped. If  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   min 
#!EF is scalar, the minimum data value is mapped to that 
value. If  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   min #!EF is a data field, the minimum 
data value of that field is used. #!N #!N The  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   
max #!EF parameter is interpreted in corresponding fashion. If  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   min 
#!EF is a data field and  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   max #!EF is unspecified, 
the module uses the minimum and maximum values of that field. 
#!N #!N For volumes, regions with values outside the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   min 
#!EF -  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   max #!EF range are invisible; for surfaces, such 
regions are gray by default. #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   delayed 
#!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N determines whether "delayed colors" are created. Such 
colors are available only for byte data and they use less 
memory. #!N #!N When  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   delayed #!EF = 1: #!N #!I0 
#!N  #!F-adobe-times-medium-r-normal--18*   #!N #!N #!I30 #!N o The "colors" component is 
a pointer to the "data" component, and a "color map" component 
is created. (This component is a color lookup table with 256 
entries, representing the appropriate color for each of the 256 possible 
data values.) #!N #!I30 #!N o If  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   opacity #!EF is 
also specified, an opacity map is created with 256 entries, while 
the "opacities" component is a copy of the "data" component. #!N 
#!I30 #!N o The module adds a "direct color map" attribute 
to the output object. (See  #!Ludcmps,dxall813 h Using Direct Color Maps  #!EL  .) #!N #!I0 #!N #!EF 
#!N #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   outofrange #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N 
specifies the coloring of data that fall outside the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   min 
#!EF -  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   max #!EF range. This parameter applies only to 
surfaces; out-of-range data values for volumes are always invisible. If the 
parameter value is a single color (RGB vector or color-name string), 
it is applied to both the upper and lower out-of-range points. 
If it is a list of two colors, then it is 
applied to the lower and upper out-of-range points, respectively. Color strings 
can be any of the defined color-name strings (see  #!Lcolor,dxall792 h Color  #!EL  ) 
or either of strings "color of min" and "color of max." 
#!I0 #!N #!N #!N #!N #!I0 #!N Notes: #!N #!I30 #!N 
1. AutoColor adds colors to the "colors" component. For "front colors" 
or "back colors," use the Rename module following AutoColor. (See  #!Lapc,dxall746 h Data Explorer Fonts  #!EL  
, in IBM Visualization Data Explorer User's Guide.) #!N #!I30 #!N 
2. This module also outputs the RGB color map used, in 
the output  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   colormap #!EF . The "positions" component contains the 
data values, and the "data" component contains the corresponding RGB colors. 
You can use this color map as an input to the 
ColorBar module. For byte data, the color map always contains 256 
entries for the 256 possible data values. If the input to 
AutoColor is a group, then a different color map will be 
constructed for each member of the group. In that case, the 
 #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   colormap #!EF output of the module is a group of 
color maps. Use the Select module to select the color map 
you want to display using ColorBar. #!N #!I30 #!N 3. If 
you AutoColor a group of volumes, you may find that the 
resulting image is black because the renderer does not support coincident 
volumes. #!I0 #!N #!N #!N #!N Components #!N #!N Adds a 
"colors" component. An "opacities" component is added if  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   opacity #!EF 
is less than 1 or if the input data is a 
volume. If  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   delayed #!EF = 1, the "colors" component is 
a copy of the "data" component and a "color map" component 
is created. Similarly, an "opacity map" component is created if  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   
opacity #!EF is less than 1 or the input is a 
volume. #!N #!N Example Visual Programs #!N #!N Many example visual
