Good day,
I am working within the Paraview GUI and need to cut/clip my data in order for my colormap to accurately show my range of data (velocity) - using the “rescale to data range over all timesteps” function. I was wondering if this is possible within the gui? Or perhaps if there is a function that rescales the data range over a particular range of timesteps?
Thanks for the help.

You can extract time steps using the “ExtractTimeSteps” filter and then rescale using its output.
