Hear hear.  I am working on something right now, which is doing a similar thing.  no matter what I set the limits to, it is giving me only a factor of 10 of the data in the color scale.  My example is very similar, just using set_zlim...

Hi all,

I've recently been having problems setting the colorbar max and min in
yt, and would appreciate some help figuring out what the problem might
be.  Full python code attached at the end, but the important parts
are:

       pf=lagos.EnzoStaticOutput(thefile)
pc = PlotCollection(pf, center=[c1, c2, c3])


plot1=pc.add_slice("B", 0)
plot2=pc.add_slice("Density", 0)
plot3=pc.add_slice("Velocity_Vorticity1", 0)
plot3.set_log_field(False)
plot3.set_zlim(-200, 500)
thefile2=(output % ind) +"large"
pc.save(thefile2)

plot1.set_width(haloradius*2,1)
plot2.set_width(haloradius*2,1)
plot3.set_width(haloradius*2,1)
plot3.set_log_field(False)
plot3.set_zlim(-200, 500)
thefile2=(output  % ind) + "halo"
pc.save(thefile2)


Neither the "large" or "halo" have the colorbar set correctly.

Cheers,
Fen
