Hi Foamers,

It seems that "Automatically Rescale to Fit Data Range" does not work in compiled ParaView 3.12 for OpenFoam 2.1.1. This issue was always bugging me, especially when comes to saving "Animation".

System: Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit, OF 2.1.1, paraview 3.12

PV settings: 1) Edit --> Settings: Rescale Data Range Mode -->Grow every timestep
2) Color scale editor: Automatically Rescale to Fit Data Range is on

When playing saved results, the value of selected colour legend is rising while the max. exceeds the current max.. However, when the current max value drops, the max. value of the colour legend does not change!

This causes saved animations has same colour of selected fields (pressure or velocity) especially a very high value of magnitude takes places in few timesteps.

For example, if i wanna make a animation of propagation of water waves over slope, the max. velocity of wave during the overall simulation is c.a 12 m/s, while the estimated average velocity is 4~6 m/s, so the contour colour of most screen-shots looks the same and could not figure out the Velocity Fields.

1. Animation screenshot (It is difficult to find out the max velocity.)


2. Manually press the "Rescale to Data Range" button (expected output)





Having searched through the forum but could not find the solution. Has some one faced this annoying issue and solved it?

Best,

David
