The simple API provides functions to manipulate look-up tables by name. The same LUTs found in the GUI are available by default.  LUTs are associated with arrays, so first get the array from ''PointData'' or ''CellData'' of another proxy, next get the representation and set the ''ColorArrayName'', and finally pass the LUT array and LUT name to ''AssignLookupTable''. User provided LUTs may be loaded into the dictionary from disk using ''LoadLookupTable'' function.


==API==
{{ParaView/Template/Footer}}
The following API is provided for LUT manipulation in ''simple.py''.
<source lang="python">
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
def AssignLookupTable(arrayObject, LUTName, rangeOveride=[]):
    """Assign a lookup table to an array by lookup table name. The array
    may ber obtained from a ParaView source in it's point or cell data.
    The lookup tables available in ParaView's GUI are loaded by default.
    To get a list of the available lookup table names see GetLookupTableNames.
    To load a custom lookup table see LoadLookupTable."""
 
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
def GetLookupTableNames():
    """Return a list containing the currently available lookup table names.
    A name maybe used to assign a lookup table to an array. See
    AssignLookupTable.
    """
 
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
def LoadLookupTable(fileName):
    """Read the lookup tables in the named file and append them to the
    global collection of lookup tables. The newly loaded lookup tables
    may then be used with AssignLookupTable function.
    """
</source>
 
==Example==
The following example (from ParaView's regression tests) exercises the new API.
