1.38 Color Spectrum Plot

Color-Spectrum-Plot

Summary

The Color Spectrum Plot app can be used to create a spectrum curve with filled colors defined by wavelength in x data.

Tutorial

1. Right-click on the Color Spectrum Plot icon from the Apps panel, and select Show Sample Folder to open the sample folder.
2. Open ColorSpecPlotEx.opju in the sample folder.

   

3. Highlight Column A, B in the absorbance Workbook. (Note: the spectrum data's x should represent wavelength and its unit must be nm.) Click the Color Spectrum Plot icon in the Apps panel again to open the dialog.

   

4. In the dialog, check Smooth sRGB check box, colors for wavelength will be smoothed.

   

5. Click OK button. A color spectrum plot will be created. Area between spectrum curve and x axis will be filled by colors defined by wavelength in x axis.

   

   
   And three columns for plot data are created in a worksheet. The third column includes RGB values for its wavelength in x data. Colors will be set missing values for wavelength outside the range 360nm to 830nm.
