data

on, off

When on , rescale the limits of data so that colors will remap. For example, if you have a pc plot and you change the variable, the limits will rescale. When off , hold the data limits constant, so that changing a variable or adding a new plot has no effect on the data limits.

on

view

on, off

When on , rescale the view according to the limits of the plot. When off , hold the specified view limits so the view will not change when new files are opened or new plots are added.

on

Description:

By default, MeshTV automatically rescales the view extents when a new plot is added, or a new file is opened. If you want the view to remain the same, set view to off . MeshTV also automatically rescales the data extents. For example, if you have a pseudocolor ( pc ) plot of density, and you change the variable to pressure, the data limits would rescale and the colors of the pc plot would remap. If you want the data limits to remain constant when variables are switched, or during animations, set data to off .

Examples:

autoscale data=on view=on
