I had a similar issue: the colouring of data outside the range of my arbitary min and max. By default, you get no colour, or an optional out of range colour (an aside: the out of range is good but would be better if you could specify different colours for max and min!).
My solution was to use compute to limit the data to the arbitary min and max values (data >= max ? max : data <= min ? min : data). That way, the colouring modules don't anything about the data outside the colouring range, since it no longer exists in the data field. Use route/switch to pass into multiple instances of this. I think this would work for saturation and opacity as well. If you want the saturation and opacity from the original data, pass in the original otherwise pass in the output of the compute.

I want to set the minimum and maximum values, but I also want to have it interpolate the saturation and opacity from the data inputs. When I don't connect the data input, I get nothing (the data has no effect on the saturation or opacity...so I get nothing on the image). When I have it connected I can't set the minimum and maximum values. I have many sequences of data (ie. things are changing with time), and I don't want the minimum and maximum values to change when playing back the sequences. I can't use AutoColor as I want to overlay multiple pieces of data, and I want each piece of data to have a certain color. Is there a way to set the min/max values so that they don't change? Is there a reason this won't work? Thanks, Brent Bailey On Thu, 2004-12-16 at 11:50, Chris Pelkie wrote: > Set the min and max values but disconnect the data input.
