Simply max(von_mises) doesn't do it? The calculator is supposed to convert scalars to arrays automatically but maybe there is an issue there...
PS: This is somewhat ironic. I am working on changes to support things like min/max over all blocks. Those changes would make min/max over block impossible :-) So I guess we want both. What would a good function name for XXX per block be? -berk On Mon, Jun 9, 2014 at 6:24 PM, Scott, W Alan <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > I am coloring blocks by the maximum value of a variable that occurs within > that given block.
