Adjust the number size in the paraview Legend
 

Dear Foamers,

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Anyone knows how to adjust the numbers of the paraview legend? I want to use the same size for the number characters (i.g. 0, 0.0002....) AND I also want all of the numbers on the left size but not the minimum and maximum numbers on the right side. The typical legend in the paraview is attached.

Best regards,
Wen

This has changed significantly in recent versions of paraview. What version are you using? In paraview 4.4, there is an option to edit fonts in the Color Map Editor -> Edit color legend properties (last button on the right of the Search box at the top of the Color Map Editor panel).

Thank you very much! I am using paraview 4.1 and there is no edit button in the "Edit Color Legend Parameters" as attached.

Maybe I should transfer to the latest version of paraview. Is there a easier way to update the paraview software?:)

Have a nice day!

Best regards,
Wen

You probably find it packaged for your distribution. The paraFoam utility won't work, but you can open OpenFOAM files as follows:

1) Create an empty text file with .foam extension in the case directory: touch case.foam
2) Open paraview (not paraFoam), and open the case.foam file

You can then use paraview as usual.

Alternatively, you can upgrade to OpenFOAM 3.0.1 and paraview 4.4 is part of their ThirdParty package.
