Color Scale Bar

Color scale bars are legends that show line and fill color information for map layers. Colors may be discrete or continuous, depending on the layer type.

To add or remove a color scale bar:

  • Select a layer in the Contents window that supports color scales.

    • Click Home | Add to Map | Color Scale Bar

    • Click Map Tools | Add to Map | Color Scale Bar

  • Right-click the layer and select Add to Map | Color Scale Bar.

When active, the command button appears highlighted/depressed. Click the command again to remove the color scale bar.

The Color Scale Bar command is enabled when any of the following supported layers are selected:

  • Contour layers (discrete)
