Hi,
I use the gwpv library to visualize some gravitational waveforms using paraview.

This library allows me to visualize specific values in the waveform as peaks all other values are transparent. It uses a color map for this where all values except for the peaks are transparent. Now I want to show the color legend but since the color map is mostly transparent I can’t see it.
Is there some way to ignore the transparency of the color map in the legend?
Thank you for all answers!

I’m afraid this is a discourse forum about ParaView, not gwpv. While I know (and appreciate!) that gwpv rely on ParaView, you will need to express your issue in ParaView terms or ask the gwpv dev directly.
