Hello everyone

I am a beginner on paraview. I plot this diagram in paraview but my plot doesn’t seem like that. Below I attached a screenshot taken from a paper. I find out some lines on the legend. Can someone tell me what these lines indicates. How can I mark these lines in my plots. Maybe after that I will get the plot similar to that. Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you in advance.

In the `Color Map Editor`, you should enable the option `Use Log Scale When Mapping Data to Colors` and create the color map with a logarithmic scale.
