Numeric Legend Editor

The numeric legend editor provides a tool for setting up colour schemes with associated numeric ranges, including dimensions. These numeric legends can be applied to various data  and objects for displaying physical trends using colour schemes. There are several options allowing you to fine tune colour schemes. Setting up legends is very flexible. Numerals can be entered into the text boxes, the lines can be slid along to different positions, lines can be added and deleted, intervals can be spread evenly and colours can be automatically generated.
