ColorFunctionScaling
is an option for graphics functions that specifies whether arguments supplied to a color function should be scaled to lie between 0 and 1.
Details

- The usual default setting is ColorFunctionScaling->True.
- With ColorFunctionScaling->False, original unscaled values are fed to the color function.
- ColorFunctionScaling->{s1,s2,…} takes si to specify whether to scale argument i of the color function.
- Scaling is done so as to make the minimum and maximum values of all variables lie between 0 and 1.
