Summary0015555: Add sanity to the color table presets
DescriptionPlease add some sanity to the color table presets. At present, we dump new color table presets at the bottom of the table. Although I know it is a judgement call, please order them in importance. Specifically, please move the new presets listed here towards the top of the list.

http://www.kitware.com/blog/home/post/886 [^]

Below I am trying to do two things - group presets that are similar together, and place the important ones at the top of the list. Cool warm group goes first, rainbow next, cold and hot and black-body, then gray, then nice looking ones, then the new ones, blot, and the rest.

Here would be my preference/suggestion. Feel free to modify as you see fit.
* Cool to Warm
* Cool to Warm (Extended)
* Warm to Cool (this one will be new, but should be easy)
* Warm to Cool (Extended)
* Blue to Red Rainbow
* Rainbow Desaturated
* Red to Blue Rainbow
* Cold and Hot
* Black-Body Radiation
* X Ray
* Gray-scale
* Black, Blue and White
* Black, Orange and White
* Linear YGB 1211g THROUGH Linear Blue (currently bottom of the presets)
* Rainbow Blended White
* Rainbow Blended Grey
* Rainbow Blended Black (this one will be new, but should be easy)
* Blue to Yellow
* blot
* The rest of the presets not mentioned here.

Sorry for throwing this into 4.4, but I figure we want these new presets the correct location from the start.

I agree with Alan that adding new color tables to the top of the presets is a good idea. Very insightful change that I expect will be easy to implement.

I also like Alan's suggested order of color maps *except* that I suggest moving down the rainbow color maps quite a bit. I'd like users to see several superior choices before choosing that.

As long as rainbow remains on the first page (i.e., presets before a user starts to scroll, I have no issue moving it.

For me, when I am showing a user how to get useful data from their visializatin, the preset of choice is Cool to Warm. For me, when I am making eye candy movies, my go to preset is rainbow.

Had an e-mail thread with Ken. Please order the presets as I say, except move Blue to Red Rainbow and Red to Blue Rainbow to just above Rainbow Blended White.

How do I bring up the color table you are interested in? I found one but it has very few of these palettes.

Nice. We will see what the community says, but I really like it. Blue to red rainbow is still visible, right at the bottom.

Tested master, Linux, remote server. Went through all first page presets with disk_out_ref.
