Setting Up Map Fill

Map fill is calculated by the color scale. The scale specifies the set of number intervals and the fill method for each interval.

NOTE. On setting up the scale take into account the following feature: boarding values are always included into scale smaller interval. For example, there is a scale with three intervals: less than 25, from 25 to 50, more than 50. The 25 value will be included into the less than 25 interval and the 50 value will be included into the from 25 to 50 interval.

Make sure that the side panel is displayed.
Select a map in the workspace.
Select the Format radio button on the side panel and go to the Color tab.
