Color bar in the phase space plot

Good morning,

I have a question regarding the color bar in the phase space plot, I'm attaching, as an example, the plot taken at two different positions.
Now, the losses are huge and the particle number is drammatically different in the two cases but the color bar is always normalized to 1 according to the particle distribution at that position. This, in my opinion, doesn't give a correct visual impact in the real particle density, especially when there are big losses.
Is there a way to select a specific position, for example, or number of particle (maybe the initial number) and refer the normalizzation to that parameter for all the phase space plots?

Thanks in advance for the answer

Francesco

Dear Francesco,

I think that’s an excellent suggestion, I’d never thought of it before.
OK, it’s been implemented in the latest version of TraceWin & PlotWin.
