  172.             should be. This affects the opacity of the squares. A high value
  173.             will render the squares very intensely and does not allow lower
  174.             squares to show through. A lower value allows the lower squares
  175.             to be more visible through the higher ones and causes more

  189.             Saturation. With a low Tile Saturation, this color scale lets the
