Dae Il,
There are tutorials links found on the ParaView Wiki.  The wiki is found here: 
http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView, then see SNL ParaView 3 Tutorials.  All 
of the datasets are found in the ParaView data, found on the ParaView download 
page.

There is a brief description of how to use the calculator under Beginning 
Filters.

Alan

Subject: Re: [Paraview] multiple color legends on the same image

Thanks for the info, but I hope folks don't mind if I ask a few more questions 
to clarify this procedure. I've never used calculator before and it seems hard 
to find any tutorials on this particular topic. However, I'd like to just 
clarify exactly what I'm trying to do so that I'm not asking the wrong question.

I'm applying paraview to overlay a functional brain activation over a template 
I've specified. The brain map has both positive and negative values and when I 
apply a contour filter to this object, I can specify a range to show only some 
of the positive values, compute its gradients and devise an appropriate legend. 
When I create a new contour filter to show the negative ranges with the hope of 
showing another color legend that reflects negative activation, this is where I 
run into the problem of my first color legend immediately changing to whatever 
I now specify. Having said all that, how does one duplicate datasets in 
calculator with the ability to specify only part of the range of values so that 
only the negative activations are shown?

Again thanks for the help and if there is a good tutorial one could recommend 
to me so I could get some better grounding with this program, I would be most 
grateful. Thanks!

Some background information: ParaView makes the coloring for all variables of 
the same name consistent.  This is done to prevent misleading coloring when 
showing data from different parts in the pipeline or different data sets or 
different views.  If you want to break out of that behavior, you have to rename 
the field on one of the data sets.  John's suggestion is the easiest way to 
change the field name.

It's awful, but it works.

Use the calculator filter to copy one dataset to another. Change the name of 
the scalar array you are displaying. when you enable the colour legen for the 
new data, it will have a new name and so use a new colour lookup table. You can 
now display both independently.

Hi all,

I'm a bit of a newbie here, but I've been having some trouble trying to figure 
out a way of creating multiple color gradients and legends on the same image. 
In other words, I have an object that I use a contour filter for that should 
have a different gradient than another object with a different contour filter, 
but the moment I change the color gradient for one, the other automatically 
changes. Is there a way to create two contour filters with different color maps 
and legends?

Thanks,
Dae Il
