Scaling the Color Scale

[dcobra]

I have had this problem as well and greatly appreciate the fix!

I have found the bug (and hopefully fixed it, you can try with the new 2.12.alpha version online).

And to create the color ramp you want (with the trick I suggest), with fixed color, you have to start with an absolute color scale and then:
1) reduce it to 2 steps
2) make sure the steps are above the maximum value you target (e.g. 1.0 and 2.0). And then:
3) select the first step, set the right color (the farthest), and edit its value to the minimum value (-0.01) then click somewhere else
4) click anywhere between the 2 steps, and edit the newly created step
5) set the color to the next segment color, and edit its value to something very close (-0.099) then click somewhere else
6) click anywhere between the 2 last steps, and edit the newly created step
7) set the same color and edit its value to the next intersection (-0.005) then click somewhere else
8) repeat from step 4

Appreciate for your help!
This is what I can do:

But may I set the color scale bar like this?

Here is what I was able to create:

Here is the XML file if you want to load it in CloudCompare (just save that in a file with '.xml' as extension):

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<CloudCompare>
    <ColorScale version="1">
        <Properties>
            <name>3mm BAR</name>

            <absolute>1</absolute>
            <minValue>-0.05</minValue>
            <range>0.1</range>
        </Properties>
        <Data>

Hello Daniel,
I tried to create a color scale like you did. But my color scale only changes the colors through the gradient.
How can I create a Color Scale withou the gradient.

Thank you.

You have to create two 'steps' very close to each other (e.g. 1.0 and 1.0001)
