Ken & Cory, thank you both for the input. I agree that changing
scales can be very misleading! However, at this point I'm
investigating some very new physics that I don't quite have an
intuitive grasp of yet. Thus, being able to see the max and/or min
in the domain and its location evolve over time is useful for me.
Cory's suggestion works well for this.<br>
<br>
Thanks again guys!<br>

<div>I'd like to supplement Cory's answer (which is
totally correct) with some caution. There is a reason
why the functionality you are looking for is hidden in
the Settings dialog. Making animations where the color
map rescales every time step can be very misleading.
Use this option with caution.</div>

<div>Rather than change the color map scaling every time
step, it is better to set a static range that is valid
for all time steps (if possible). Assuming your data
is not huge (and it sounds like it is not), you can
try hitting the "Rescale to data range over all
timesteps" button. (It is in the color map editor to
the right of the color bars with the "t" on it.) That
will look at your data over all time and set the color
scale to the min/max over all.</div>

<div>Rescaling on Visibility Changes only
rescales when an object changes from
visible to invisible or vice versa (hence
visibility change).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>To do what you want, see Edit ->
Settings. In the Settings dialog, click
the General tab and find the "Transfer
Function Reset Mode". You can change this
to "Grow and update every timestep" to
expand the range as time moves on (range
never shrinks) or "Clamp and update every
timestep" to shrink the range every
timestep.</div>

<div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">Sorry
for the barrage of questions guys.
I've used Paraview a lot for 1D
visualization, but now am wading into
2D... Based off Utkarsh's description
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://blog.kitware.com/using-the-color-map-editor-in-paraview-the-basics/"
target="_blank">
here</a>, I would think that
toggling "Rescale on Visibility
Changes" (text a little different from
previous versions of Paraview) would
lead to automatic scaling of my color
map when I change time steps. However,
that doesn't appear to be the case.
What am I missing?<br>
