[Paraview] Can I tie Z Axis Grid labels to the unscaled range of the Scalar Value used in the Warp By Scalar filter?

[Wyatt Spear]

In theory the Data Transform should be ideal. I didn't see it before
because I was looking at the 'Data Axes Grid' which doesn't have that
option instead of the 'Axes Grid' which does.

It seemed to work on less extreme scales but when I had to scale my warp by
.00001 and set the same value to the Z Axis Data Scale the axes exploded
out of view-ability. I'm not sure what's going on there; I had assumed that
this would only change the labels and not the size of the axes.

Thanks,
Wyatt
