Ken & Cory, thank you both for the input. I agree that changing scales
can be very misleading! However, at this point I'm investigating some
very new physics that I don't quite have an intuitive grasp of yet.
Thus, being able to see the max and/or min in the domain and its
location evolve over time is useful for me. Cory's suggestion works well
for this.
Thanks again guys!

Alex,
I'd like to supplement Cory's answer (which is totally correct)
with some caution. There is a reason why the functionality you are
looking for is hidden in the Settings dialog. Making animations
where the color map rescales every time step can be very
misleading. Use this option with caution.
Yes, couldn't agree more.
Cory
Rather than change the color map scaling every time step, it is
better to set a static range that is valid for all time steps (if
possible). Assuming your data is not huge (and it sounds like it
is not), you can try hitting the "Rescale to data range over all
timesteps" button. (It is in the color map editor to the right of
the color bars with the "t" on it.) That will look at your data
over all time and set the color scale to the min/max over all.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [Paraview] Automatically scale color map
Alex,
Rescaling on Visibility Changes only rescales when an object
changes from visible to invisible or vice versa (hence visibility
change).
To do what you want, see Edit -> Settings. In the Settings dialog,
click the General tab and find the "Transfer Function Reset Mode".
You can change this to "Grow and update every timestep" to expand
the range as time moves on (range never shrinks) or "Clamp and
update every timestep" to shrink the range every timestep.
HTH,
Cory

Sorry for the barrage of questions guys. I've used Paraview a
lot for 1D visualization, but now am wading into 2D... Based
off Utkarsh's description here
<https://blog.kitware.com/using-the-color-map-editor-in-paraview-the-basics/>,
I would think that toggling "Rescale on Visibility Changes"
(text a little different from previous versions of Paraview)
would lead to automatic scaling of my color map when I change
time steps. However, that doesn't appear to be the case. What
am I missing?
