 Full command executed with just the legend parameter set to -1 shows default limits for the legend. This seems to work in pure LUA, and mo_showdensityplot(-1) does not work even in pure LUA:
-  mo_showdensityplot(legend,gscale,upper_B,lower_B,type)
+<code lua>
-  mo_showdensityplot(-1,0,0,1,"bmag")
+mo_showdensityplot(legend,gscale,upper_B,lower_B,type)
+mo_showdensityplot(-1,0,0,1,"bmag")
+</code>
 legend: Set to 0 to hide the plot legend or 1 to show the plot legend.
