The Color Map Editor panel is now a dockable panel, and not a popup dialog as with previous versions of ParaView. The opacity transfer function is optional when doing surface renderings (one can turn it on/off by using the Color Map Editor as explained later), but gets used when volume rendering. There are separate transfer functions for color and opacity. The same transfer function is used when coloring with the same array in different 3D views, or results from different stages in the pipeline. ParaView associates a transfer function with the data array identified by its name and number of components. For the rest, here’s a quick overview of how color transfer functions are managed in ParaView. It may either have been too obvious or you may have learnt it the hard way, in any case, you couldn’t have not realized this if you have been doing serious visualizations with ParaView. If you’ve used ParaView for a while, you can skip this section. In the subsequent posts, we will cover the annotations and using categorical color maps. This post discusses how to use this new Color Map Editor. The UI that allows the user to edit these transfer functions has been redesigned for ParaView 4.1. A transfer function can also be used to map the data array to opacity for rendering translucent surfaces or for volume rendering. Of course, to map the data array to colors, we use a transfer function. Color mapping is a common visualization technique that maps data to colors, and displays the colors in the rendered image. One of the first things that any visualization tool user does when he (or she) opens up a new dataset and looks at the mesh is to color the mesh with some scalar data.
