Summary0003030: Strange coloring on can.exo data
DescriptionWhen you view can.exo variable Cell EQPS, you get incorrect coloring unless you view another variable, then switch back to Cell EQPS. Other variables in the dataset appear to work correctly. To reproduce: load can.exo, view Cell EQPS with the 'current variable' combo box, then advance time with the vcr controls. The coloring will be blue and red only. Choose another variable with the 'current variable' combo box, then choose 'Cell EQPS' again, and the coloring is correct.

This is the same behavior as ParaView 2. What is happening is that in the first time step, all the values are 0, so the range is basically 0 also. When you move to the last time step, the range stays the same. This is by design as it can be misleading to have the scalar range change (and hence the color mapping) change every time step. You can replicate the same behavior by resetting the range of the color map rather than swap variables.

We can still argue about whether this is a bug or not, but it is certainly not clear what the correct behavior is.
