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.
