Controls Tab
The Controls tab includes parameters for the highlight style except for color, which is handled in
the Color Scale tab.

highlights. Values less than the Low value do not receive highlights. Values above the High
value receive the full highlight effect.

brightness of the flares to drop off closer to the center of the highlight, whereas lower values
drop off farther from the center.

This designates the length of the flares from the highlight.
