Hi @Forrest_Li,
**I am wondering how to make Paraview Glance use a range defined in a .vtkjs file?**
[This](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/short-url/w0Rklu0EzKySL7UXKBdqd4dJyOa.vtkjs) (18.9 KB) is the .vtkjs file.
Can I define the range in the outermost index.json like so? I tried this and it wasn’t picked up by Paraview Glance.
**If not, where in a .vtkjs I should define this range?**
Also, **Can I add multiple mappers for multiple scalars that I have?** I will not use colorByArrayName property in others.

On the mapper you will also have to say to use the `mapper` range rather than the `lookup table` range. Glance tends to focus on the Lookup Table range so the color scale is properly shared across objects.

I am sorry. I don’t understand what you suggested @jourdain. Did you mean `useLookupTableScalarRange` to false? Because that doesn’t change anything.

Yes I mean `useLookupTableScalarRange` but Glance by design will revert it, no matter what. Hence `that does not work`.

@jourdain, are you saying it’s futile to try to setup scalar range in Praview glance through .vtkjs?

An option in glance is to have a lookup table with unique name for each range you want to use. The LookupTable is where the range is stored for the color mapping in Glance, not on the representation/mapper.
