[Paraview] Blog: Using the Color Map Editor panel in ParaView 4.1

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Marco,

That sounds like a good idea. Let me know if you need help. You may be
able to get by by "exploding" blocks in a multiblock dataset since in
most cases, a large mechanical model may come into ParaView as several
blocks in a multiblock dataset rather than a single dataset.
