Re: [Paraview] Color Table File Format

2012-05-08 Thread Burlen Loring
great! I have just spent some time experimenting with 3.14 and it seems 
that the xml file format has not been updated to support the separation 
of color control points and opacity control points. That would be a huge 
improvement to support this in the xml format. by the way I also noticed 
an issue in the first set of luts and fixed it, new file is on the wiki.

Re: [Paraview] Color Table File Format

2012-05-08 Thread Burlen Loring

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.
