Re: [Paraview] independent colorbar range in different views of same session?
Probably the simplest thing to do is to use the Calculator filter to copy the data to a different array. You could use the Python Calculator to rename the array (uncheck the Copy Arrays checkbox -- this will get rid of all other arrays though).

Hey, David, Emily seems to be describing that she already has two different attributes, so I'm suspecting that somehow she's mistakenly coloring by the same attribute in both views... Emily, as David is saying, (at least my understanding of) what you're wanting should be the default behavior. Make sure that when you click on each view the color by combo box changes which attribute it's listing, and that each colormap has Automatically Rescale to Fit Data Range checked in the colormap editor.

Re: [Paraview] independent colorbar range in different views of same session?
Hello Emily, ParaView tries to use the same color transfer function for each variable in all views to ensure that one perceives the same value wherever they see a particular color. I expect this is what is happening here. What you might do then to get around this behavior is to create a copy of your array and color by that array in one view or the other. The simplest way I can thing to do that is to use the calculator filter. First choose either point or cell alignment to find the array you want, then set the calculator expression to be simply the name of the array you are making a copy of. Optionally set the output name if you don't want the copy to be called RESULT. Lastly choose the new array as the one to color by in one of the two views. hth, David E DeMarle Kitware, Inc.

I have set up the two views, where view 1 has the pressure data turned on and view 2 has the density data turned on. I made a colorbar for each view, and have changed the colorbar title to pressure for view 1 and density for view 2. (To make these colorbars, I first clicked on the pressure data in the pipeline browser, then clicked on view 1, then created the colorbar for pressure; then I clicked on the density data in the pipeline browser, then clicked on view 2, then created the colorbar for density). However, when I try to change the scale of each colorbar so that it only spans its data, then the colorbar for the other data is automatically changed. Does anyone know how to set the colorbar ranges independently for each view (say 1e5-2e7 Pa for pressure, in view 1, and 1-1000 g/cc for density, in view 2)?

Hah Eric so there! :) The calculator filter will do what you want. There are probably better ways but the calculator will only take a minute to try. David E DeMarle Kitware, Inc.

Thanks guys! The calculator filter does work. Kudos to both Eric and David for making me understand the actual problem I was having, and then for giving me a solution.
