[Paraview] Problems plotting vectors w/ Paraview 3.6.1-6.FC11.x86_64 ....

[Moreland, Kenneth]

Because perceptual studies show that human vision is quite bad at properly interpreting the rainbow colors as linear range of numbers.  There has been a push in the visualization community to discourage people from using it.

Here is a link to a paper that outlines in more detail the reasons for abandoning the rainbow color map and the design considerations in creating the new one.
