[Paraview] How to apply different color maps to different datasets.

[Cory Quammen]

Mike,

You can think of color maps in ParaView as being stored in a map from
data array name to color map. If you care coloring two data sets by
arrays of the same name, then the same color map will be used for
each.

A workaround is to rename a data array using the Calculator filter.
Set the expression to the name of the array you want to view, then set
the "Result Array Name" to something else. Choose the new name to
color by, and you will be able to color the data sets differently.

HTH,
Cory
