Note: The page was created before Map Suite 10. Map Suite 10.0 organized many classes into new namespaces and assemblies as well as had a few minor breaks in compatibility. The majority of previously built code should work without modification assuming the new namespaces are added. For guidance on upgrading your existing code, please check out MapSuite 10 Upgrade Guide.

Parameters
GetColorsInHueFamily(GeoColor,Int32)
This method returns a collection of GeoColors based on the same hue that is passed in.
Remarks
This method is useful when you want to get a number of colors that have the same hue. For example, you can use this in maps that represent class breaks. If you passed in a red hue, then the method would return variations such as light red, dark red, pastel red, etc.
Return Value
- Type:Collection<GeoColor>
- Description:This method returns a collection of GeoColors based on the same hue that is passed in.
Parameters
- baseColor
- Type:GeoColor
- Description:This parameter is the color on which you want to base the color collection.
- numbersOfColors
- Type:Int32
- Description:This parameter represents the number of colors you want returned from the method.
GetColorsInQualityFamily(GeoColor,Int32)
This method returns a collection of GeoColors based on the same quality (luminosity and saturation) that is passed in.
Remarks
This method is useful when you want to get a number of different colors that have the same quality. For example, you can use this in maps that represent countries or connected places. If you passed in bright red, then the method would return variants such as bright blue, bright green, etc. If you passed in dark red, you would get dark blue, dark green, etc.
Return Value
- Type:Collection<GeoColor>
- Description:This method returns a collection of GeoColors based on the same quality (luminosity and saturation) that is passed in.
