Im using The latest Smokeview (SVN 1937) Jul 2 2008. Im looking at a
temperature slice and the maximum value it shows is 1000 degrees F. I
want to see what the maximum temperature in the slice actually is, so
i want to change the range on the color bar to be from 700 deg. F to
2000 deg. F. Is there a way to do that?

Load the Slice in SMV. Then press the right mouse-button and go to
Dialogs-File/Bound Settings. Go to the Slice menu and change in the
Bound Data from percentile max to global max or whatever you want.

You can do what you want using the file/bounds dialog box.

Wow, thanks everyone! I did not think to look in file/bounds dialog box.

As a note if you are using Windows there should be a pdf of the
Smokeview User's guide in
\Program Files\NIST\Smokeview\Documentation

Yeah, I glanced through the users guide, but since I was looking for
"range" and not "bounds" and references to "2D-contours" I did not
immediately find it. I was also looking for a way to increase the
maximum value of the range, and the Users guide doesn't really make a
mention of being able to do that, except in the caption for figure
9.1.

Anyway I guess I just had the wrong search parameters, Thanks though!
I was able to make it show me what I wanted.
