8.4.1 auto

Paints isolated points in their selected colour but where multiple points in the same layer overlap it adjusts the clour by darkening it. This means that for isolated points (most or all points in a non-crowded plot, or outliers in a crowded plot) it behaves just like flat mode, but it's easy to see where overdense regions lie.

This is like density mode, but with no user-configurable options.

Usage:

   shadingN=auto colorN=<rrggbb>|red|blue|...

All the parameters listed here affect only the relevant layer, identified by the suffix N.

Associated parameters are as follows:

colorN = <rrggbb>|red|blue|...       (Color)
The color of plotted data.

The value may be a six-digit hexadecimal number giving red, green and blue intensities, e.g. "ff00ff" for magenta. Alternatively it may be the name of one of the pre-defined colors. These are currently red, blue, green, grey, magenta, cyan, orange, pink, yellow, black, white.

[Default: ff0000]
