[Paraview] independent colorbar range in different views of same session?

[Guzas, Emily L CIV NUWC NWPT]

Thanks guys! The calculator filter does work.

Kudos to both Eric and David for making me understand the actual problem I was having, and then for giving me a solution.

Cheers,
Emily

Hah Eric so there! :)

The calculator filter will do what you want. There are probably better
