Color gradients can be generated for the purpose of providing a third dimension to selected UltraScan III program graphs.
Color gradients are specified with a start color and a number of color steps, each one having an end color and a number of points. The total number of colors in the gradient is the sum of step points plus one for the start color. The steps are saved in an XML file, with an option to save a PNG file with the color legend.

Number of Color Steps: Choose the total number of color steps.
Select Starting Color: Click this button to choose a start gradient color. The chosen color appears in the button and the gradient displays below.

Number of Points in this Step: Set the number of points for each step using the counter.
Help: Display detailed color gradient generator help.
