ColorFunctionScaling

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

MORE INFORMATION

The usual default setting is ColorFunctionScaling->True.

With ColorFunctionScaling->False original unscaled values are fed to the color function.

ColorFunctionScaling->{s₁, s₂, ...} takes s_i 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.

Basic Examples (2)

Parameters to ColorFunction are normally scaled to be between 0 and 1:
