Sure, that would work. A legend somehow would be nice though. And the more
popup text the merrier (to a point!). The "hmm what is this?" action I think
of as hovering and waiting for popup text, which is what I would do if I
didn't see a legend.

Does Kitware have any human factors experts on staff? I know there are some
classes at RPI - you might consider asking faculty if they could have some
students analyze Paraview as a class project or something like that. I bet
they would identify even more things that could enhance the
"first-time-usability" that we don't even notice anymore since we use it so
much.
