@icweaver and @jar1 thanks a lot for the follow up. Since I don’t wan’t to hijack your thread and since my problem may be unrelated, I’ve made a separate thread:

> Dear all, I have an issue when plotting patches with Makie when the field has no spatial variations. I provide a MWE below. The returned error is ArgumentError: range step cannot be zero if v=zeros(nel) (constant data) . However if v=rand(nel) it works. I suspect that using limits=(min\_v, max\_v) is the source of the zero range step (since min\_v==max\_v). Commenting it disables the errors but also the plot (at least in Jupyter). Anyone has an idea of potential workarounds? using CairoMakie us…
