OpacityFunctionScaling
is an option to visualization functions such as DensityPlot3D that specifies whether arguments supplied to OpacityFunction should be scaled to lie between 0 and 1.
Details

- The usual default setting is OpacityFunctionScaling->True.
- With OpacityFunctionScaling->False, original unscaled values are fed to the color function.
- Scaling is done so as to make the minimum and maximum values of all variables lie between 0 and 1.
Examples
Basic Examples (2)
Parameters to OpacityFunction are normally scaled to be between 0 and 1:
Use unscaled values by setting OpacityFunctionScaling to False:
