[vtkusers] Issue with ParaView 4.1.0

[John Mangeri]

Apologies if this is going to the wrong forum.

I'm currently trying to compare two different mesh solution output files in
ParaView 4.1.0 Linux64bit(Ubuntu 12.04 LTS). I'm getting an strange error
that doesn't make much sense and I think may have something to do with my
settings.

I have a data range for the following variables to be rendered.

File_1:

disp_Magnitude: [0,.100]
disp_x: [-0.001,0.001]
disp_y: [-2e-5, 2e-5]
disp_z: [-0.10, 2e-6]

File_2:

disp_Magnitude: [0,.100]
disp_x: [-0.002,0.002]
disp_y: [-8e-6,0.001]
disp_z: [-0.10,0.0110]

File_2 seems to be able to be rendered fine in ParaView but File_1 is
giving me troubles. It says "Data range too small to render" in the corner
Mapping Data section. I have another program(a simple gui with my solver)
that can open these types of files(Exodus II .e format) and all is fine(no
errors, the data is there) for both File_1 and File_2. Does anyone know
what might be going on here?

A couple things I've tried

-For File_1 I tried to set a log scale for the color map transfer function
and got this error:

" Warning: Range [0,0.100038] invalid for log scaling. Changing to
[0.0100038,0.100038]."

So I know that the program sees the correct data range or does it?

-I've also looked in the information tab for my exodus object in ParaView.
It says my data ranges for all of the variables are type double [0,0] but
this is absolutely wrong since I can open the same file in my gui and view
the mesh with the correct data ranges for each of these variables. I also
think the error for log scale conflicts this statement. Why does the
information tab say [0,0] but log scale reads a range of [0,0.1]?

-If I open File_1 and then open File_2 in this order I get the same error
for File_2 that I get for File_1. Then if I change my disp_Mag variable to
disp_X the problem ceases for File_2

Also I'm sure all of my settings are set to DEFAULT since I haven't changed
them at all.

Thanks for the help
