Specify how you want Minitab to display the color gradient.
Gradient type
Select the color scale for the rectangles.
- Diverging
- Rectangles with high values are red, and rectangles with low values are blue.
-
- Sequential from low to high
- Rectangles with high values are dark blue, and rectangles with low
values are light blue and light gray. You can use this option to highlight
rectangles with more productivity or to maximize revenue.
- Sequential from high to low
- Rectangles with low values are dark blue, and rectangles with high
values are light blue and light gray. You can use this option to highlight
rectangles with low defect rates or to minimize cost.
Gradient symmetric around value (optional)
Enter a value to center the gradient scale at a specific value rather than
the center of the function that you selected. For example, a business owner
selects the gradient to be defined by the mean of the profit of multiple
products across multiple stores. The owner enters 0 as the
Gradient
symmetric around value (optional)
so that rectangles with products that made a positive profit are a different
color than those that lost money.
Note
This option is only available when you select Diverging from Gradient type.
Use same gradient scale for all graphs
When you enter multiple columns in Graph variables, select this option to use the same gradient scale for each heatmap created for the different columns.
