 ===== Visualization Settings =====

-A Visualization Settings block allows configuring the display of the visualization.
+The **Visualization Settings** block controls how simulation results are displayed.
+It has three main inputs:
-The inputs are the maximum and minimum fraction of the full scale of the quantity you want to visualize, an index to select a different legend color scale, and a boolean toggle to enable or disable the display of boundary condition glyphs. The defaults are to visualize the full range of the quantity of interest, the default color scale is a rainbow color scale, and the default is to hide the boundary condition glyphs.
+  * **Lmin / Lmax** – minimum and maximum fraction of the full result range to show.
+    *Example:* to display only the middle 50% of the result values, set ''Lmin'' = 0.25 and ''Lmax'' = 0.75.
-For example, to visualize the middle 50% of range of the quantity of interest, set ''Lmin'' to 0.25 and ''Lmax'' to 0.75.
+  * **Li (Legend ID)** – selects the color scale used for visualization. Each integer value corresponds to a preset colormap (see legend image below).
+  * **Show Glyphs** – a toggle to enable or disable the display of boundary condition glyphs.
+**Defaults:**
+Full range of the result (''Lmin'' = 0, ''Lmax'' = 1), rainbow color scale (''Li'' = 0), and boundary condition glyphs hidden.

   * **Danger Level.** For a specific failure criterion, a danger level is a scalar value that ranges between 0 and 1. It is computed at every point as a ratio of the computed value of the selected failure criterion to the threshold value known to cause failure of the particular material. A value greater than 1, indicates that the computed value exceeds the known threshold.
