Displays the results of transient analysis or order analysis on a customized intensity graph with a rainbow color scale. You can display these 3D results using colors to represent the third dimension. You also can add frequency or order lines to indicate locations of specific frequencies or order components on the colormap.

Properties

You can set Colormap properties in the Colormap Properties dialog box. You also can use the following Colormap graph properties with the Property Node.

Cursor List	Returns an array of information about all cursors. Each array element is a cluster of Cursor properties.
Cursor:Allow Drag	Specifies whether you can drag the cursor.
Cursor:Cursor Color	Specifies the color of the cursor, including the point, arrow, and name of the cursor.
Cursor:Cursor Index	Returns the array index of the point to which the cursor is snapped. This property can have a value between 0 and n – 1, where n is the number of data points.
Cursor:Cursor Mode	Specifies the way in which the cursor snaps to the plots in the plot area. You can select one of the following options: 0—Free. 1—Single-plot. 2—Multi-plot.
Cursor:Cursor Name	Displays the text in the plot area associated with the cursor.
Cursor:Cursor Name Visible	Specifies whether the Cursor Name is visible.
Cursor:Cursor Plot	Specifies the plot with which the cursor is associated. If Cursor Plot is –1, the cursor snaps to all plots in the plot area. You can move the cursor to the nearest data point along any plot in the plot area.
Cursor:Cursor Point Style	Specifies the symbol that LabVIEW draws, along with the Cursor Style, at the focal point of the cursor. You can choose a value from 0–16.
Cursor:Cursor Position	Displays the position of the cursor as XY coordinates.
Cursor:Cursor Style	Specifies the symbol that LabVIEW draws, along with the Cursor Point Style, at the focal point of the cursor. You can choose a value from 0–8.
Cursor:Plot Area	Displays the plot area with which the cursor is associated. This property applies only to mixed signal graphs.
Cursor:Watch All Plots	Specifies whether the cursor watches all plots in the plot area. If this property is FALSE, the cursor watches only the Watch Plots property specifies. The Watch All Plots property is valid only for cursors associated with multiple plots.
Cursor:Watch Plots	Specifies an array that contains the indexes of the plots that the cursor is watching. This property is valid only when the Watch All Plots property is FALSE. The Watch Plots property also is valid only for cursors associated with multiple plots.
Cursor:X Scale	Specifies the x-scale of the cursor. This property is valid only for free cursors. If the cursor is associated with a plot, that plot might overwrite this property.
Cursor:Y Scale	Specifies the y-scale of the cursor. This property is valid only for free cursors. If the cursor is associated with a plot, that plot might overwrite this property.
Event:Cursor Move	Returns the strictly typed user event refnum that LabVIEW generates when you move a cursor either by clicking and dragging the cursor or by using the Cursor Movement tool. If you select and move multiple cursors, LabVIEW generates a Cursor Move event for each cursor. LabVIEW also generates this event when you enter a new value in the cursor legend. This event is useful if you want to register when you interact with the colormap cursor.
Event:Scale Range Change	Returns the strictly typed user event refnum that LabVIEW generates when you change the maximum or minimum values of the colormap scale. LabVIEW generates this event when you enter a new value in a scale marker. LabVIEW also generates this event when you pan or zoom the colormap. This event is useful if you want to register graph changes and then adjust the functionality of the graph.
Ignore Array	Indicates use of Color Table instead of z-scale color settings.
Palette:Visible	Displays the graph palette.
Plot Area:Color	Specifies color of the plotting area expressed in terms of (FG Color, BG Color) pair.
Scale Legend:Visible	Displays the scale legend.
Selected Cursors	Displays the currently-selected cursor.
Smooth Update	Draws graph with less flicker, but slightly slower. (Mac OS) LabVIEW ignores this property.
X Scale:Format String	Sets the format strings of the x-scale.
X Scale:Name Label:Text	Specifies text as displayed in the front panel object. For example, if you set a string control to use Password Display, this property returns the password string, such as ****, not the Normal Display of the string.
X Scale:Name Label:Visible	Indicates if the decoration is visible.
X Scale:Offset and Multiplier	Displays a cluster of offset (X0) and multiplier (dX) for scaling values such that the final value equals (dX)*X + X0. If you change the offset, the scale does not use 0 as the origin of the plot. This property is read only.
X Scale:Range	Specifies the scale range using a cluster with subparameters Minimum and Maximum.
X Scale:Scale Fit	Scales the x-axis to fit the data. You can select one of the following options. 0—Do not autoscale. 1—Autoscale once. 2—Autoscale.
X Scale:Visible	Shows the x-scale.
Y Scale:Format String	Sets the format strings of the y-scale.
Y Scale:Name Label:Text	Specifies text as displayed in the front panel object. For example, if you set a string control to use Password Display, this property returns the password string, such as ****, not the Normal Display of the string.
Y Scale:Name Label:Visible	Indicates if the decoration is visible.
Y Scale:Offset and Multiplier	Displays a cluster of offset (Y0) and multiplier (dY) for scaling values such that the final value equals (dY)*Y + Y0. If you change the offset, the scale does not use 0 as the origin of the plot. This property is read only.
Y Scale:Range	Specifies the scale range using a cluster with subparameters Minimum and Maximum.
Y Scale:Scale Fit	Scales the y-axis to fit the data. You can select one of the following options. 0—Do not autoscale. 1—Autoscale once. 2—Autoscale.
Y Scale:Visible	Shows the y-scale.
Z Scale:Format String	Sets the format strings of the z-scale.
Z Scale:Interpolate Color	Interpolates the color plot.
Z Scale:Name Label:Text	Specifies text as displayed in the front panel object. For example, if you set a string control to use Password Display, this property returns the password string, such as ****, not the Normal Display of the string.
Z Scale:Name Label:Visible	Indicates if the decoration is visible.
Z Scale:Range	Specifies the scale range using a cluster with subparameters Minimum and Maximum.
Z Scale:Scale Fit	Scales the z-axis to fit the data. You can select one of the following options. 0—Do not autoscale. 1—Autoscale once. 2—Autoscale.
Z Scale:Visible	Shows the z-scale.

Methods

You can use the following Colormap graph methods with the Invoke Node.

Method	Description
svx_Map Coordinates to XY	Maps the owning pane coordinates to the XY location on a graph. If you do not specify the scales, LabVIEW uses the active scales.
svx_Map XY to Coordinates	Maps the XY location on a graph to the owning pane coordinates. If you do not specify the scales, LabVIEW uses the active scales. This method is useful when you need to map graph coordinates to plot images coordinates to draw images inside the plot area of a graph.
