It sounds like your original temperatures are sampled on
a square grid with NaNs at any grid points outside the
circular plate, and that you then reample to a more
circular Irregular2DSet. If so, then the problem is that
you don't have temperature values at the edge of the plate,
and any procedure for creating them is just guessing. So
the problem is with the original data, and you'll have to
solve it there.

Yeah, you can explicitly set the color scale by calling
setRange() on the ScalarMaps to RGB. To make displays
have the same color scale, pass the same range to setRange()
for the ScalarMaps to RGB in each display.
Good luck,
