All Full Texts color coding

Fri, 12/28/2012 - 12:22 — Haruo

Where can one find a key to the color codes used with the Full Texts? I think I know what the red and green squares mean in a general way, but what are yellow, blue, purple...? Is it obvious, and I'm just not seeing it when I look at it, or is it really well hidden?

Colors

I don't think those boxes are ever supposed to be blue or purple. The color should be interpolated between red and green (and mixing red and green light produces yellow). Do you have an example of a page with blue boxes?

Blue and Purple Boxes

I don't have an example at the moment, but I'll try to remember next time I see one to make you a screenshot.

When I wrote the original query, I had just gotten done looking at some, but now I don't recall what hymns I was researching that day, so I'll have to wait till the phenom recurs.

IVERSON! (in the sense of Eureka!)

I remember now, it was IVERSON. Here's a screenshot; this was made in Safari, but it looks the same in Firefox.

More blues than reds

I'm getting very few red boxes these days, and lots of cases where the gradation is apparently sea-green>purple>blue...

Fulltexts

Oh, I thought you were looking at the "Compare texts" page.

I believe that on the "All full texts" page, the theory is that texts that are similar to each other (based on word frequency) should have the same color swatch. The actual color doesn't matter here and is just used to sort the variations.
