HI! I am trying to solve the time evolution of a tissue heated by a laser. I'd like to show the temperature rise in time, using the movie command to see the plot a t different times as in a movie. The problem is that each plot has the same spectral color for mapping different temperatures. So if in the first plot max temperature is 60°C this is red, and if in the second plot max temperature is 100°C, this is red. Is not possible to rescale the colors for each plot? I am not sure to have well explained my problem, but I tried! Thank you very much Francesca Rossi | ||

The default procedure in constructing a plot is to find the range of values occurring in the plot and distribute the colors across this range. You can modify this process in two ways. 1) If you append the qualifier RANGE(Low,High) to the plot statement, then the colors and contours will be spread across the larger of the stated range and the observed range. That is, the stated range will be used unless the observed data exceeds that stated range, in which case the real range will be used, preserving all your data. 2) If you append the qualifier FIXED RANGE(Low,High) to the plot command, then the stated range will be used in all cases, even if this means losing data that exceeds the stated range. The example "Samples | Time_Dependent | Heatflow | 3d_bricks_t.pde" uses a RANGE qualifier to do exactly what you want to do. | ||
