skew

real number > 0.

The skew factor that is used to map data values to color ranges. A value of 1. is equivalent to linear scaling. Values above or below 1 have the effect of mapping small data ranges to large color ranges to highlight differences in the data. This value is only used when the scale is set to skew.
