In case the user activates the color code representation for the deviation, it is possible to change the way the colors changes in the Whitestar.ini configuration file.

The parameter controlling the change is the Color scale style .

The possible values are:

• 0 – RGB scale: with this methods the colors are fixed.

All the points whit deviation lower than the minim are set to blue, all the points with deviation higher than the maximum are red, the point with zero deviation are green.All the other points change from green to red and green to blue with a linear scale.

• 1 – Linear Scale: With this method the upper and lower colors are set by the user.

The progression from one color to the next, follows o linear progression as per the style 0.

• 2 – House Progression: with this progression the upper and lower colors are defined by the user.

The progression for the color change doesn’t start with upper (or lower) color but is start with an intermediate color between upper (or lower) and zero. This intermediate color is set with a parameter which stay between 0 (Zero color) and 1 (upper or lower color). This method better enhance which points are in tolerances and which aren’t: in fact, with the linear scale progression, points still in tolerance but close to the upper (or lower) value have a color very close the out of tolerance color.

• 3 – Band Scale: with this progression the upper and lower colors are defined by the user.

The tolerance zone is divided in 5 bands each once representing 20% of the full tolerance zone.The band close to the upper tolerance have a color which is the mid between upper color and Zero color. The band close to the lower tolerance have a color which is the mid between lower color and Zero color. The remaining 3 zones have the zero color.This method is suitable to identify critical points.
