Virtual Atlas - Sample size and spacing
The coloured samples in each system are, by default, displayed in the same shape as presented in the systems colour atlas e.g. circular in SCA-2541 and rectangular in NCS. However, the application allows customization of the sample shape, size, and spacing independently for each system.

Note that user defined sample size only applies when Auto sizing is disabled, sample spacing and shape applies if auto sizing is enabled or disabled.

For SCA-2541 with the default circular sample shape of size 80 the following child window is displayed:

In this example, the sample shape has been changed to rectangular 120x100 with 0% sample spacing (as a percentage of sample size) as shown below:

Accepting this change results in the sample shape being displayed as a much larger rectangular with 0% seperation (as a percentage of sample size) as in the screenshot below:

Note that for views not displayed as triangular hues a sample spacing of 0% does not procide any gap between the samples horizontally or vertically, as in the screenshot below:
