[Paraview] Color bar rescaling for transient datasets

[Moreland, Kenneth]

This issue has come up quite a bit.  We are trying to think of a way to set the range reasonably while avoiding expensive loading and maintaining consistent behavior.  One idea we are considering is to set the range based on the last time step, which often has a range close to the full range.

I would be interested in a simple way  to do this too.  It seems like a potentially expensive choice since it requires loading every time step, but it would be worth having it as a simple option.

Ok, I've just found a way using the "Temporal Statistics" filter to get the maximum and minimum values. After that we just need to fix the color bar range using these values.

Just to keep the question:

Is there any simpler or automatic way to do that?

Cheers

Renato.

Does anyone know if it's possible to rescale the color bar considering all values of a transient dataset? I just need to get the maximum and minimum values across all time steps.

thanks for any help.

 Renato.
