Re: color scale

  Hi Pam -

If I understand your question properly, the solution is quite easy.  You
can add the max and min values to the levels command, as follows:

  fill/lev=(-10000)(-250,250,50)(10000) your_data

This will color everything above 250 the 'highest' color and below -250
your 'lowest' color.
