Unless I am missing something, you can color by magnitude without having to compute it with a calculator. Simply go to "Edit Color Map" and change which component/magnitude the surface is colored by. I guess it is an unexpected location to have that setting. We should probably change the button name to something like "Edit Color Settings...". We will change the default to be magnitude in the next release.

The unconviniency - not a problem - is that x-component is used to<br>colorize by default, while I doubt if anyone would ever use such a<br>default and anyway calculate the magnitude in the calculator filter.<br>regards,<br>
