When using Appearance's ranking on a dynamic column the min/max values used for the boundaries are using the column's estimator. That can be the expected behavior in some cases but is probably not the main one. What we rather want is take the min/max within the dynamic attribute (i.e. reviewing each value).

Expected Behavior

Min and Max values within dynamic attributes are used, instead of estimators.

Current Behavior

Ranking min/max always use the column estimator.

Possible Solution

It could be an extra configuration we display for dynamic columns. Estimator selection is anyway buried in the timeline component so it would be handy to display it there, to make it clear what is used to compute the values.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open 2node.gephi.zip
2. Select Size > Ranking > metric in Appearance
3. Apply at different timeline slices.
4. Size doesn't change even though the values change.
