Hi Guys,

I think it is minimally documented on the wiki.

http://paraview.org/Wiki/Colormaps

A couple months ago I added 91 new lut's there. They are huge help for making nice pseudo color plots, but they are cumbersome when volume rendering since opacity is tied to each of the 256 color points. changing the transfer function requires tweaking a large number of them and they are very dense in the UI so you can't even click on them individually. I recall in 3.14 the transfer function editor was improved, does pv now support a separate opacity and color point in the transfer function color map table? if so them was that also added to the xml format? If not this may be something to think about in the future.

It is easy to put one together though by exporting a color map by
clicking "Save" and then "Export" on the "Color Scale Editor" dialog
and opening up the resulting xml file in a text editor. It also helps
to look at: Qt/Components/pqColorPresetManager::importColorMap()

Feel free to document this on this wiki page:

Is there a reference somewhere that says what the color table format that 
paraview can import is? I think it is some sort of XML file if I remember 
correctly.

Thanks
