Use Format>Legend to adjust the appearance and range of values for a fringe, contour, and vector plot. When you select this command, Mechanica displays the Format Legend dialog box. The Format Legend dialog box includes:

Maximum — Use to set the maximum value for the legend. You must select a value that lies between the maximum and minimum of the quantity as determined by the analysis or study. These values appear as the default values in the Format Legend dialog box's Maximum and Minimum text boxes. Depending on how you set the maximum and minimum, Mechanica may redistribute the intervening scale.

The maximum and minimum values you enter in the Format Legend dialog box determine how the shading will be graded for your model. You can use these values to get a better idea of how a particular range of values is distributed over your model.

Minimum — Use to set the minimum value for the legend. You must select a value that lies between the maximum and minimum of the quantity as determined by the analysis or study.

Color Scale — Use the controls in this area to determine the color spectrum of your model and how many levels the legend contains.

Show View Min/Max — Use to toggle the minimum and maximum values shown in the result window label on and off. The minimum and maximum values appear in gray on the legend. Toggling this control off streamlines the appearance of your result window.

Show Legend — Use to toggle the legend on and off.

In addition to adjusting the minimum and maximum values, you can also adjust individual legend values through the Edit>Legend Value command.

Regardless of which method you used to adjust a legend, you can return a legend to its original state through the Utilities>Reset Legend command.
