So a smooth color legend should be useful. Do you see a use case for having a discrete legend in this case?<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>I’m not sure. I am undecided as to whether I would prefer independent control of the colour-legend style (user specifies smoothed if Therion can do it, or specifies discrete regardless of whether Therion can do smoothed or not). The current implementation seems to decide automatically, depending on the type of lookup (for example banded gives discrete, otherwise it is smoothed). Probably I would prefer independent control. Especially as the discrete style is used for all only most altitude map-fg / lookups and for all other map-fg / lookups.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Here is a little game I set up in 2018, in order to work around the ‘colours not found’ issue you described above (ie I would artificially adjust the max and min altitude lookup altitudes to bias the colour a little bit).<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>So I have re-run it with 5.5.7+5656503 and 6.0.0+9a30b34. I think it is useful for putting the altitude colourbar through it’s paces.

It will probably be OK with smooth shading off – didn’t get around to checking that yet.<o:p></o:p></li></ol><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Bruce<o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div></div></body></html>
