Hey all  
I am facing an issue with Colorby field not getting updated and rendered based on my choice. After running the script i get a full blue graph which is not desired. However if i change colorby to something arbitrary and change it back to “Type”, i get the desired coloring of red blue yellow. I feel there is an issue with updating pipeline or buffers not being flushed. Could you please suggest a method to fix this issue .Note that the two images have the exact same pipeline and properties.

Try reseting the range using ResetScalarRange button ?
