The darker the area, the more frequently it has been quoted, suggesting its significance. Right beside the heatmap is the literary work itself. The grayscale indicates how many scholarly works quote any part of a crucial passage. This means the color remains constant for the entire key passage. The font size is adjusted based on how often a minimal segment is quoted. At the bottom, alongside the literary text, there's a list of all scholarly works.
