To bring up the properties dialog, you can double-click on the layer list or right-click on the middle pane of the map and choose "Properties".
Numeric rasters and categorical rasters have different properties.
For categorical rasters, you only have one format choice: you can select which variable to display in the map. BoundarySeer chooses the colors automatically.
Two features of monochrome raster layers can be changed in the dialog box: the direction of the graduated color and the base color itself.
The raster will grade from a minimum to a maximum color value, with the maximum value represented by the darkest color as a default (Maximum value: Black). You may reverse it to have the lightest color as the maximum (Maximum value: White) in this dialog.
You may also change the base color by clicking on "Change Color" and selecting a new one from the spectrum.
Composite color rasters can display up to three variables or bands of remotely sensed data on one map. The variables are represented by red, green, and blue. These types of rasters are also called false color composites, as the colors on the map do not necessarily correspond with those perceived by the human eye.
You may change the variables represented by each color in the raster properties dialog box. You can choose the variables represented by each color (red, green, blue) from pull-down lists in the raster properties dialog.
