Hello,  
When I am plotting nc\_ scalar field in this folder [Dropbox - 21 - Simplify your life](https://www.dropbox.com/sh/hb74bz1mt6sj659/AADgo9Ak00bewqNKxYXanaQRa?dl=0) I see that the values on the plot are changing in the range from 1 to 0.97, with most of the plot at the minimal value 0.97. However, this part of the plot should actually have a range of values from 0.97 to 0.0. Is there anything with the Paraview settings I should change? Thank you!

You can set the appropriate minimum and maximum value range yourself via the **Rescale To Custom Data Range** icon.

Or you can also use the **Rescale Range Over Times** icon to specify minimum and maximum values over all time steps.
