# colorAxis.stops

Color stops for the gradient of a scalar color axis. Use this in cases where a linear gradient between a `minColor` and `maxColor` is not sufficient. The stops is an array of tuples, where the first item is a float between 0 and 1 assigning the relative position in the gradient, and the second item is the color.
