[Paraview] [EXTERNAL] Default colorbar style

[Scott, W Alan]

Works for me!

Try deleting your configuration files.  You may have some old trash in there.  https://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView_Settings_Files

Then, in the Color Editor, change your color table.  Down at the bottom, left, there is a little cute icon that says "save current color map settings...."

Then, open your color legend editor.  Tiny icon, top right.  Change what you want.  Be sure to Apply.  Now, little arrow at the bottom, green arrow saving stuff on disk.

This held the state after killing and reopening ParaView.

The variable I tested on is a vector.  File/ Open/ Examples/ disk_out_ref.exo/ all variables on/ Apply.  Now, color by V.

Hey Alan.

Yes, I've tried the 5.4.1. on Windows and seems to work fine with scalar variables, but the font size/color are restored to defauls values for vector data.

Also, saving settings as default does not apply to colormap size and location which is also very annoying.

I remember some weirdnesses with the colormap for PV 4.*.  Kitware has rewritten this code, and it really is working nice.  Would it be possible to install the latest version of PV?  5.4.1 is being a reliable workhorse.

Hi All.

I'm using Paraview 4.3.1 64bit on Linux (the system can't digest the 5.4 release for now) and I'm struggling to get the same colorbar style for any variable on any render view and layout, i.e. once for all.

As I understand, using "Save current colormap settings as default" in the "Color Map Editor" Panel and "Save current settings value as default" in the "Edit Color Legend Parameter" panel should do the trick but changing the variable resets the font size of both title and text/annotations.

Also, rescaling the colorbar changes the font size to make them fit below a certain length or width of the bar which is also very annoying.

I was thus wondering if I'm doing anything/expecting something wrong or if there is anybody experiencing the same issue.

Thanks,

R
