Use Makie.automatic for colorrange

[KnutAM]

supersedes #119, thanks for the tip @termi-official on Makie.automatic (haven't checked if this introduces new compat requirements)

Reproducer

using Ferrite, FerriteViz
import GLMakie as Plt

grid = generate_grid(Quadrilateral, (2, 2))

dh = DofHandler(grid)
add!(dh, :u, 1, Lagrange{2,RefCube,1}())
close!(dh)

a = zeros(ndofs(dh))

apply_analytical!(a, dh, :u, x -> rand() - 0.5) # ∈ [-0.5, 0.5]

plotter = MakiePlotter(dh, a)

fig = Plt.Figure()
ax = Plt.Axis(fig[1,1])
sp = solutionplot!(ax, plotter; colorrange=(-1.0, 1.0))
Plt.Colorbar(fig[1,2], sp)
fig

master (colorrange [-1, 1] not respected):

pr (colorrange [-1, 1] respected)

Can we add this for all plot types?

I think it's just CellPlot that needs to be changed too https://github.com/Ferrite-FEM/FerriteViz.jl/blob/24a611238873a67d2d8918de98f41887a1b3f6a8/src/makieplotting.jl#L118

Does this work if min approx max and min or max approx zero? We introduced the fix back then, because the automatic colorrange failed to display at all in these cases.

ah misread the PR example, I thought it display $[-1,-1]$ and thought that it can handle this now. But yeah this would be good to test

It seems to work, but gives the warning (4 times)

All work now with the automatic keyword (at least on the latest Makie release). :rocket:

Can you add the corresponding change also to CellPlot as Max proposed. And add the information to the docstrings, because it seems this option is missing. Thanks!

I have locally a fix to recover the NaN handling. If @koehlerson is fine with the changes I will push, we make another round of review and merge.
