Hello, I have user who has existing custom colormaps used in VisIt that he would like to use in ParaView. As a non VisIt user, does anyone know if VisIt’s exportable color table formats are consumable by ParaView? Thanks, -John.

I don’t know the answer to your question. If the answer is no though I would say that this would be a nice feature that _seems_ simple enough to implement.
