[Paraview] [EXTERNAL] change default color map

Two answers.  ☺


1)      There was a great panel discussion at Viz this week about how horrible the rainbow color map is.  It misrepresents data (green is much larger than yellow), and it is unusable for about 8% of male engineers (i.e., they are color blind to parts of the rainbow.).  Thus, the reason for ParaView’s selection of our current  color map.

2)      Edit Color map (Icon upper left side that looks like a color legend with a magnifying glass), then Presets (icon right side, has a heart on it).

Hi everyone,

Whenever I open new data in ParaView, it will first get displayed in the notorious blue-red colormap. I would like to change that default here to something more suitable for my cause, but couldn't find how. Any hints?

Cheers,
Nico
