The Show Colors checkbox colors the atoms according to the settings in the Color Range fields. The Color Range fields specify the endpoint values of the color range used to color atoms by property value. By default, the range is taken from the minimum and maximum values present in the data. The Symmetric Range for Color checkbox will force the Color Range input to use the same absolute value for the minimum and maximum. The default values are ±max(|data_max|,|data_min|).
The Fixed Range for Color checkbox will enable you to enter your own values in the Color Range input.
