L.4.15.4.1.1 Color Application Method

The simple type ST_ClrAppMethod lists the different options for color to be applied to a diagram. There are three options available to the user: span, cycle, and repeat. Given a list of colors, which go from color A to color B, the differences in these three options can be defined. These options are shown below in Figure 4.

The span option, from the start of the diagram to the end of the diagram, interpolates between the colors A through B for every node along the way.

The cycle option interpolates from A to B then back to A from the start of the diagram to the end of the diagram.

The repeat option applies colors A through B one at a time for each point in the diagram, then repeats A through B as needed.
