Let's create a new Contouring icon (it can be found in the Visual Definitions icon drawer, you may need to scroll the drawers to the right).
Rename it 'bin_grid_shade' then edit it, by setting the following parameters:
Legend | On |
Contour | Off |
Contour Level Selection Type | Count |
Contour Reference Level | 0. |
Contour Min Level | 1. |
Contour Shade Min Level | 1. |
Contour Level Count | 20 |
Contour Shade | On |
Contour Shade Technique | Grid Shading |
Contour Shade Method | Area Fill |
Contour Shade Max Level Colour | Red |
Contour Shade Min Level Colour | Blue |
Contour Shade Colour Direction | Clockwise |
...
Now drop this icon into the plot to see the effect of the changes.

In our Contouring icon we set the minimum value to '1.' to exclude grid cells containing no points at all and used 20 intervals between the minimum and the maximum to define the colour palette. Please note that our palette was automatically generated from a colour wheel by interpolating in clockwise direction between Contour Shade Min Level Colour and Contour Shade Max Level Colour.
Changing the View
We will further customise the plot by changing the axis value ranges and adding axis labels and grid-lines to it. To change these properties we need a Cartesian View icon (it can be found in the Visual Definitions icon drawer).
This time you do not need to create a new icon since there is one called 'scatter_view' already prepared for you. Edit this icon to see how the view is constructed (please note that the axis properties are defined via the embedded Horizontal Axis and Vertical Axis icons). Then simply drag it into the Display Window and see how your plot has been changed.
