Thermal Comfort Legend - [source code]

Color UTCI, PET or NOAA Heat Index values by their thermal-stress categories and create a matching legend.

Input

Name Nickname Description Type
Values UTCI, PET or Heat Index values to categorize and color. Number
Plane Legend base plane. Plane
Size Width of each legend color block. Number
Mesh Optional mesh to color with the UTCI values. Supports one value per face or per vertex. Mesh
Ground Surface Ground Optional ground geometry used to place the legend at its bottom center. Geometry
Offset Distance between the bottom edge of the ground bounding box and the legend. Number
Smooth Colors Smooth Use a continuous UTCI color ramp. Face values remain unchanged; vertex-based inputs interpolate naturally across the mesh. When the legend is scaled to actual values (right-click), this blends the ramp instead of quantizing it into discrete bands. Boolean
Circle Radius Radius Radius of each colored UTCI sensor disk. Number
Sensor Points Points Optional UTCI sensor points. When their count matches UTCI, one colored disk is created per point; the Mesh face/vertex count does not need to match. Point
Scale Uniform scale factor for the legend bar, label spacing, and centered text. Number
Metric Metric Type from Thermal Comfort: UTCI, PET (Temperate), PET (Humid), or Heat Index. Text

Output

Name Nickname Description Type
Colors Color drawn for every input value: the thermal-stress category color, or the ramp color when the legend is scaled to actual values. Colour
Categories Thermal-stress category for every UTCI value. Text
Legend Mesh LM Legend bar: one block per thermal-stress category, or a value ramp when scaled to actual values. Mesh
Label Points LP Text anchors for the metric title followed by each legend block or tick. Point
Labels Metric title followed by its ranges and thermal-stress labels, or by its numeric ticks when scaled to actual values. Text
UTCI Mesh UM Colored sensor disks for face-based UTCI data, or a colored mesh for vertex-based data. Mesh
Centered Labels Text Centered metric title and thermal-stress label text. Geometry
