</SPAN></FONT><LI><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>ParaView makes no effort to build a transfer function. The default is going to be insufficient most of the time. You are expected to have to edit the transfer function for your particular data. Nevertheless, as a static default setting, it works better than any other I have seen.

Even if it is not, the region clearly has no information as it has the constant minimal value. Might as well get it out of the way to see the interesting stuff.
</SPAN></FONT><LI><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>If you don’t like that, you can set whatever transfer function you want to be the default. Raise up the left control point and hit “Make Default”.<BR>

Hm, it seems that if you rescale the data range to [-1,10] instead of [0,10] you can then see the "empty" space in the cube. Shouldn't that be the default? i.e. why can you not see anything when it is exactly equal to the lower bound of the color scale? Shouldn't it snap anything below that to the lowest color?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>
