[Paraview-developers] [EXTERNAL] [Paraview] color scale editor bugs, and missing luts

[burlen]

We did have a conversation* about this list of LUTs that I shared** a 
while back and I had the impression that at least some were integrated 
with perhaps with the names changed along with a bunch of other LUTs. 
Now that you mention it I'm not so sure if that is what really happened. 
I had these LUTs loaded for a while and they may have been carried along 
from version to version. my apologies if I was wrong about that.

I totally agree with you that presenting LUTs in a non-overwhelming way 
is a good thing. advanced button sounds like a great idea and keeping 
with the new GUI design.

Since there are a few IMHO useful LUT's that are kicking around and not 
yet included in PV would anyone object if I added some of the LUT's that 
didn't make it in?

IMHO excluding potentially useful LUTs is a worse evil than having a 
long list of them because you're results(image quality, image 
aesthetics, and more importantly what science you can glean from the 
data) are limited to what LUTs you have access to.
