ColorFunctionScaling

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.

The usual default setting is ColorFunctionScaling ->True .

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

ColorFunctionScaling takes 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.

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

Use unscaled coordinates:
