Color scatter plot symbols based on numeric data values in Grapher
Beginning with Grapher 15, it is possible to apply a colormap or gradient to symbol fill color based on a numeric data column. Complete the steps below to apply a gradient fill color to your scatter plot symbols.
- Click the scatter plot in the Object Manager to select it.
- Click the Symbol tab in the Property Manager.
- In the Plot Symbol Properties | Fill section, click in the Color column field and select your desired data column/row. This is the column/row containing the data values that the gradient fill will be based on.
- Select the desired predefined color gradient from the Colormap list, or click the Custom colormap button (
) to define your own. - If desired, check the box next to Show color scale to add a color scale defining what values correspond with what colors.

Is this for preview version 14 or version 15?

I don't find a Color column field as instructed (Grapher 16.8.2). Screenshot below. Somewhat confused about this function...
And the color variable field does not have a color table option... (but I can assign colours in a column)
