## Setting the colors

The Scatter plot can map scalar values to colors like the Pseudocolor plot (page60) does or it can color all points using a single color. If you have set one of the input variables to have a color role then the Scatter plot will map that input variable's data values to colors using the specified color table. To change the color table used by the Scatter plot, click on the Color table button and select a new color table from the list of available color tables. If the Scatter plot has been configured such that none of the input variables is playing the color role then the Scatter plot's points will be drawn using one color. When the Scatter plot draws its points using a single color, its default behavior is to color the points using the vis window's foreground color. If you want to instead use a different color, turn off the Use foreground check box and click on the Single color color button to select a new color.
