\"Thumbnail\"<\/p>\n

Do you like the visualization of the stretched renderer, but wish you could label more than three values? The Labeling button on the stretched renderer allows you to create breakpoints, choose a color for each breakpoint, and chooe a label for each breakpoint. It is like a hybrid between the stretched renderer and classified renderer.<\/span><\/p>\n

How do I access the Labeling option?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Use the stretched renderer and click on the Labeling button. A new window will appear.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now what do I do?<\/strong><\/p>\n

First choose if you want to set the number of breaks\/intervals or if you want to set a specific interval. Next click the Generate button to calculate the breaks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Optionally, you can edit the colors or the entire color ramp.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Optionally, you can edit the break value manually, and you can edit the labels as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Result<\/strong><\/p>\n

The result is a smooth color ramp that has an indication of what some of the colors actually mean\u2014which is especially helpful within a map layout.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Note: Accurate legend values are only available for the Minimum-Maximum stretch, at the moment.<\/p>\n
