[Paraview] Legend for superposed contour plots

[Zenker, Dr. Matthias]

Hi Armin,

thank you for your answer.
I am aware that I can adjust color scales. My problem is that I don't get a legend at all in the first place. I have several variants of a contour plot superposed, using solid colors for each variant. I could of course add an empty contour plot, switch the coloring to e.g. potential and fiddle around with the color map. But that is not what I would like to have.
But I would like to have a legend similar to the legend of the "plot over line" where I don't have a color map, but just colored line patterns with their respective meaning, like

[blue line here]  Variant 1
[red line here] Variant 2
[green line here]  Variant 3

How can I generate such a legend?

Thank you,

Matthias

Hi,

I'm not sure if I understand completely what you try to do, but probably
it's already enough if you use a discrete color legend and set the
number of values to the number of contours. (See the attached screenshot
and state file.)

Otherwise, the color legend can be adjusted in arbitrary ways using
python. For an example, have a look at the attached python
script. Note that the script is very specific for one of my cases, but
demonstrates how one can arbitrarily adjust color scales.

HTH,
Armin
