Auto-Artefact Template of the Month

Artefacts are project items (plots, palettes, pages, maps, statistics, sample sets, rule sets, etc.) that enable users to locate, view, filter, compare, and interpret project data...

Their associated pre-made templates, accessible through the improved artefact management system delivered in version 2.3 (https://igiltd.com/news/new-auto-artefact-support-in-pigi-2-3), provide users with an efficient route to add beneficial artefacts to their projects.

This series of Auto-artefact template of the month articles explores the origins and uses of one or more of our available auto-artefact templates.

 

Colour Appropriate Pyrolysis Palettes

A recent Nature Communications article provided the scientific community with a guide on appropriate colour palettes for data that produce a meaningful smooth gradient. The guide prevents the visual distortion of data, ensuring readers with and without colour-vision deficiencies interpret data equally (Crameri et al. 2020). 

Consequently, IGI has provided colour-appropriate auto-artefact palette templates for three of the most used pyrolysis-related parameters: Hydrogen Index, Total Organic Carbon and T-Max. The palettes have been created on properties taken from the .Any property group to ensure the widest application to project data. Each has been provided using the widely valued Viridis colour map and one additional alternative colour map, which becomes either darker or warmer with higher data values.
