# new ColorScale()

Creates an SVG scale based on an array of data. If data is specified, immediately draws based on the specified array and returns the current class instance. If data is not specified on instantiation, it can be passed/updated after instantiation using the data method.

# ColorScale.render([callback]) <>

Renders the current ColorScale to the page. If a callback is specified, it will be called once the ColorScale is done drawing.

This is a static method of ColorScale, and is chainable with other methods of this Class.

# ColorScale.axisConfig([value]) <>

If value is specified, sets the axis configuration of the ColorScale and returns the current class instance. If value is not specified, returns the current axis configuration.

This is a static method of ColorScale, and is chainable with other methods of this Class.

# ColorScale.align([value]) <>

If value is specified, sets the horizontal alignment to the specified value and returns the current class instance. If value is not specified, returns the current horizontal alignment.

This is a static method of ColorScale, and is chainable with other methods of this Class.

# ColorScale.color([value]) <>

Defines the color or colors to be used for the scale. If only a single color is given as a String, then the scale is interpolated by lightening that color. Otherwise, the function expects an Array of color values to be used in order for the scale.

This is a static method of ColorScale, and is chainable with other methods of this Class.

# ColorScale.data([data]) <>

If data is specified, sets the data array to the specified array and returns the current class instance. If data is not specified, returns the current data array. A shape key will be drawn for each object in the array.

This is a static method of ColorScale, and is chainable with other methods of this Class.

# ColorScale.duration([value]) <>

If value is specified, sets the transition duration of the ColorScale and returns the current class instance. If value is not specified, returns the current duration.

This is a static method of ColorScale, and is chainable with other methods of this Class.

# ColorScale.height([value]) <>

If value is specified, sets the overall height of the ColorScale and returns the current class instance. If value is not specified, returns the current height value.

This is a static method of ColorScale, and is chainable with other methods of this Class.

# ColorScale.orient([value]) <>

Sets the flow of the items inside the ColorScale. If no value is passed, the current flow will be returned.

This is a static method of ColorScale, and is chainable with other methods of this Class.

# ColorScale.outerBounds() <>

If called after the elements have been drawn to DOM, will returns the outer bounds of the ColorScale content.

This is a static method of ColorScale.

{"width": 180, "height": 24, "x": 10, "y": 20}

# ColorScale.padding([value]) <>

If value is specified, sets the padding between each key to the specified number and returns the current class instance. If value is not specified, returns the current padding value.

This is a static method of ColorScale, and is chainable with other methods of this Class.

# ColorScale.rectConfig([value]) <>

Provides access to the config method of the Rect class used to create the different rectangle color buckets.

This is a static method of ColorScale, and is chainable with other methods of this Class.

# ColorScale.scale([value]) <>

If value is specified, sets the scale of the ColorScale and returns the current class instance. If value is not specified, returns the current scale value.

This is a static method of ColorScale, and is chainable with other methods of this Class.

# ColorScale.select([selector]) <>

If selector is specified, sets the SVG container element to the specified d3 selector or DOM element and returns the current class instance. If selector is not specified, returns the current SVG container element.

This is a static method of ColorScale, and is chainable with other methods of this Class.

# ColorScale.size([value]) <>

The height of horizontal color scales, and width when positioned vertical.

This is a static method of ColorScale, and is chainable with other methods of this Class.

# ColorScale.value([value]) <>

If value is specified, sets the value accessor to the specified function or string and returns the current class instance. If value is not specified, returns the current value accessor.

This is a static method of ColorScale, and is chainable with other methods of this Class.

function value(d) {
  return d.value;
}

# ColorScale.width([value]) <>

If value is specified, sets the overall width of the ColorScale and returns the current class instance. If value is not specified, returns the current width value.

This is a static method of ColorScale, and is chainable with other methods of this Class.
