# Uq\_display\_uq\_inversion: Determine limits for scatter plots for posteriori samples from the posteriori samples instead of using prior samples (at least, if there no prior samples)

Hi @olaf.klein

This behavior is indeed on purpose to show the information gain from updating. However, I agree with you that a flag option would make more sense to allow visual inspection of the posterior distribution in cases of large information gain, like the one you mention in your post.

Can you add a reference to this post to the original post [here](https://uqworld.org/t/further-plot-possibilities-for-results-of-bayesian-inversion-suggestions-and-code-example/1105/2)?
