Sequencing Accumulation and Reporting
Display Blocks
Use the Display Blocks option to show blocks from the block model using a selected colour scheme.
Prerequisites
Before working in this option, it is recommended you first:
- Define a colour legend as desired
- Load the desired Specification file
Block Model Variable
Variable name
Select from the drop-down list or enter the variable to display.
Colour Scheme
By Spectrum
Select this option to colour the slices by spectrum. The colour spectrum will be stretched over the variable values. Use the drop-down list to select the desired spectrum.
Figure 1 : Colouring by Spectrum
If you select the Between two RGB values option, you will need to nominate two colours to stretch over the variable values. For example, if you select red and blue, then the small values would be red, the middle values purple, and the large values blue. The colour of the middle values is an average of the two chosen colours.
