Range value for min +
Range value for min and max size - these two parameters will be respectively multiplied by a reference length (average size of cells of the mesh) to define the range for minimum and maximum size of a point during rendering (at magnification = 100%). Default values are:

Rainbow - scale: min = 10%, max - = 33%

Rainbow + scale: min = 10%, max + = 33%

Min size +
Min size is associated to the smallest real value (including negative values).

Max size is associated to the largest real value.

Bicolor - scale: min = 0 (not editable), - max = 33%

Bicolor + scale: min = 0 (not editable), + max = 33%

Null size is associated to the 0 scalar value.

Magnification + (%) corresponds to the change of size of results at Gauss point primitives in 2D space. Acceptable values range from 0 to N; 100% means no magnification, 50% means half of its size, 200% mean twice its size and so forth. By default this value is set to 100%.
