Field Maps
To see an explanatory list of the colors on the field map, alter the coloring of the
field trends, or select solid or outlined contour maps, click Legend.
The Legend Info window displays the legend which was applied to the data as
it was unloaded from the PC Card. If there are multiple legends for a crop, the
default will be the one selected on the Legend Preferences screen.
There are two types of legends: discrete master
legends and incremental legends. Discrete master
legends are only used with layers of the field map that
are created using field documentation and the
GreenStar Display; Incremental legends are only
used with layers of the field that had sensors record
the field data.
The Legend Info window changes to accommodate
the selections available for a particular layer (the layer
name is at the top of the window); these differences
are seen in the examples to the right.
Legends can be created for every field layer except
Drain Tile and the boundaries, and you can have as
many legends open at one time as you have layers in
the field map. Note that prior to opening a layer’s
legend, that layer must first be highlighted in the
Layers chooser. Multiple legends will open on top of
each other; hold down the top legend’s blue title bar
and drag the window to one side to see the legend
directly beneath it.
In addition, you can create your own color schemes for legends on the Legend
Schemes Preferences tab (page 35), and then assign those schemes to
individual legends on the Legends Setup tab (page 88).
It is important to remember that if you edit a legend, the changes will impact all
maps that use it. Sometimes it is better to create a new legend specifically for
a map rather than modify an existing legend. However, soil and field
documentation maps use a master legend with discreet values for every field
that uses the legend; you are not able to create new legends separate from the
master.
Seeing too many low yield points on the end rows may have to do with how the
combine is being operated, not the legend settings. For more information, refer
to “Processing Preferences” on page 38.
Note: If a legend is set with large increments, it won’t display high
contrasts of color, making it difficult to distinguish changes. Keep in
