In this method, the smaller cell values in the input raster grid will be mapped to a wider range of colors. The larger values will be mapped to similar colors. The intermediate values are mapped to a shorter range of colors.
To apply logarithmic color breaks:
-
Select the Apply Clip Limits check-box to allow a specific range of cell values to be rendered, while blocking lower and higher cell values.
You will see the bandpass vertical bars on the histogram representing the upper and lower cutoff values. You can slide the bars to change the values. The vertical color bar showing the color distribution also changes with each slide. You will also see two check-boxes Show Mean and Show Std Dev. When you select the check-boxes, you will see the mean value and standard deviation of the color value distribution on the histogram. The mean value is represented by a vertical dotted line in the center of the graph. The standard deviations are represented by vertical dotted lines in orange, as shown in the image below.
In addition, you will also see the color distribution table beneath the histogram. If you hover over the histogram, the color bars on the table will change accordingly depending on the position of the mouse pointer. The table above shows the value of the bin at the mouse position as highlighted. It also shows value of two bins before and after the current cursor location.
