I am looking for a color spread (color codes) that will go from -40 up to 100 degrees. That would be 140 colors Does anyone have a ready made spread that I can use? I want something that looks smooth and has a nice feel to it.
Any help would be appreciated. I would like to make a color temp spread that goes from way below zero to way above. Also would be nice to use with dew point and so on.
Thanks
Beau
Huge Color Code Spread? Help please

Yeah that would be nice as well.kinetic wrote:You may just want a summer script and winter script. I have noticed some sites with color contours use this method.
Are their sites that have large color spreads that run or look smooth? I don't want something that doesn't look appealing to the eye.
Anyone have some thoughts on that.
Notice at coolwx the temp scale has been adjusted for the winter.

Can we do negative numbers though?kinetic wrote:Notice at coolwx the temp scale has been adjusted for the winter.

Isn't there a program that grabs color codes off of scales? Adobe perhaps?
Beau,
Just by themselves, negative numbers cannot be scripted(the colorfills, that is)...it's a programming limitation in DAWS. However, there is a workaround for this as demonstrated by the following. This temperature script(F°) goes from about -50 to +125 in 5° increments. It doesn't mark the isotherms explicitly so to get a feel for the temperatures I overlay the map with Data->Television Plots. TV plots can also be scripted, btw.
As far as making 140 colors in one script, I suppose it's do-able but you better have a very fast machine if using anything other than the Nearest Neighbor analysis method; otherwise it's going to take a looong time.
hth,
Bob
