Hi,
I am coloring blocks by the maximum value of a variable that occurs within that 
given block.  I am dealing with a large number of blocks, so I don't want to 
extract each block and color one by one.

I'm currently using the python calculator to do this, since the function 
"max()" returns block-by-block maximum (scalar), which is what I want.  The 
issue is that paraview doesn't return the returned value as an array, so using 
the maximum values per block directly in an expression doesn't work.  I'm using 
a pretty sad-looking syntax to get the job done.  My expression is something 
along the lines of:

Expression:   ((von_mises - von_mises)+1)*max(von_mises)

So, I'm creating an array of 1's for each cell and then scaling it by the 
maximum value in a given block.  There must be a better way of doing this, 
right?  Something like "max_by_block()" or "create_cell_array_ones()."  If not, 
perhaps that could become a feature request.

Thanks,
Alan
