As the value approaches the specified minimum value, the node colour more closely resembles the Minimum Colour, and as the value approaches the specified maximum value, the node colour more closely resembles the Maximum Colour.

  • Minimum Colour
  • Maximum Colour

Tip: You will usually get a nicer looking treemap if your minimum and maximum colours are the same hue but different brightness (e.g. light blue and dark blue) or are next to each other on the colour wheel (e.g. red and yellow or green and blue). The values you specify for minimum and maximum will also affect how the colours are interpolated.

3. Set Colours:  The colour of the node when the value is below the minimum value or above the maximum value.

  • Below Minimum Colour
  • Above Maximum Colour

4. Aggregate Colour: The colour of the node when two or more nodes have been combined.
