Display ranges

Post by de_valentin »

Hi,

I have been doing some Cloud2Cloud distances comparisons. And there is one thing that would make it a lot more useful, if it would be possible to be able to set the 'Display ranges' to a higher value than the highest calculated.
Now al my 'colorscales' are very different making it difficult to compare. I hope this is a simple request, thanks in advance.

Regards,
Valentin

The "standard" way to do this in CloudCompare is to define your own "absolute" color scale and then use it for all clouds.

You can use the "Edit > Scalar Fields > Color Scales Manager" tool to do so (or just click on the gear icon next to the "current" color scale combo box in the properties dialog of a cloud).

You can copy an existing color scale and then change its mode to "absolute" (i.e. to map colors to absolute values instead of the relative "min/max" values of the current scalar field).

Don't hesitate to ask me for more details if it's not clear.
