• Settings. The plot band definition will always include the first band that is from the minimum and the last band that is up to the maximum. You need to define the second band and the second-to-last band. For the middle bands, you can define the number of bands and the step.

• Colors. Define the color of the first and last bands, respectively, by clicking Color of first band and Color of last band. For the rest of the bands, after defining the start and end colors, the colors will be generated automatically.

Click Generate, and the plot bands will be generated automatically and the spreadsheet will be populated.

To save the definition, click the Save button.
