Although importing older XML files is still supported, color presets can only be exported using the new JSON format.Īdditionally, it is now possible to save a default color map for an array with a particular name so that any time an object is first colored by that array, the default for that array will be used. Also the format for color preset files was changed from XML to a simpler JSON. It now allows searching for present using their name. This makes it easier to avoid cluttering the UI with internal arrays.įurthermore, the Choose Preset dialog was completely revamped. As a side note, a brand new implementation for the scalar bar is currently underway, so stay tuned!Ī new setting makes it possible to set a list of regular expressions defining array names that should not be displayed in the list of color arrays. The default number of digits of precision has also been changed from 20 to 6, given more readable scalar bar labels. A bug that sometimes made setting a desired font size difficult or impossible has been fixed. The orientation can now be fixed to enable greater control of their placement. Scalar bars used to automatically change orientation based on their placement in the view. Scalar bar and other scalar coloring improvements Updating the data range updates the colors displayed in the scalar bar. The data range concept has been extended to categorical data values to represent the list of categories in the data set. Furthermore, the Multiblock Inspector reflects this coloring and allows users to override block colors and opacities as needed.ĭisplay only available annotated values in the data setĪn option has been added to the the Color Map Editor when interpreting values as categories to show only colors for annotated values actually in the data set.
Multiblock datasets are now automatically colored so that it’s easier to distinguish different blocks. Finally, Select Points On will find the closest point, retiring the need to rubber band select points. Modifier buttons make it easier to add/subtract selected elements even in the Render View. Interactive selection allows users to interactively select and label elements in a dataset by simply moving their mouse pointer over the visualization. A multitude of selection enhancements have gone into this release.
