Hi, I am trying to generate the outputs by python. However, the max and min value of the colour legend is always locked. How can I unlock it? Thanks,

Hello Douglas, 
 I guess you have found the following article: https://communities.bentley.com/products/geotech-analysis/w/plaxis-soilvision-wiki/55949/export-and-format-plots-from-plaxis-output-using-python 
 The moment you edit the MinValue or MaxValue the field becomes editable. For instance, try running the following:

g_o . Plots [ - 1] . LegendSettings . MinValue = 5

If you intend to get the values per phase, you will need a loop over all (or some of the) phases. For example: 
 for phase in g_o.Phases:
 results = g_o.getresults(phase, g_o.ResultTypes.Soil.Utot, "node")
 max_result = max(results)
 min_result = min(results)
 print(phase.Name)
 print(max_result, min_result) 
 Of course, the above code is only printing it and not storing it in a list as this will update the min and max per case.
