Hi guys,  
I am new to the paraview discourse group, I hope that this is the right place to ask this question.  
I use FEniCS to generate several pvd files like  
cfile\_pvd\_epsilon1.0 = File(“sol-eps1\_0.pvd”)  
cfile\_pvd\_epsilon1.0 \<\< c\_sol1\_0

cfile\_pvd\_epsilon0.5 = File(“sol-eps0\_5.pvd”)  
cfile\_pvd\_epsilon0.5 \<\< c\_sol0\_5

I would like to compare the two graphs in the sense that I would need the exact same color scaling in the 2 pvd files. Can I somehow do that?

Thank you so much!

Hi, thanks for considering my question. What I need is to be able to have the exact same scale and both of these graphs. Right now on one of them the shade “most red” means 8.5e+01, on the other one it means 6.7e+01. (I didn’t set them to anything, Paraview came up with this values itself - I don’t know how to set these values) How can I make sure I have a scaling that is uniform, or one that I can select?  
Thanks so much!
