Miniature
Miniature Color 1, 2, and 3 set the text colors for miniature visuals, which appear automatically when a visual is scaled down due to legibility limits. These miniatures show measure values and labels for quick reading in limited space. Use the Color Picker to set the color for each miniature tile.
Miniature visuals are created automatically when you scale a visual down to a size that makes its content illegible. These tiles typically display the measure as a number with its name underneath:
Note: The purpose of a miniature visual is to provide a way to easily view and interpret important data at a glance, even where there is a lot of information and limited space.
