cqid: VisIt00008979cqsubmitter: Eric Bruggercqsubmitdate: 10/02/09 From Liam Krauss' e-mail: Is there any way that VisIt can reload/update the color table list duringexecution (following startup)? I have scripts to create/modify colortables, but VisIt doesn't recognize them unless it's restarted. Additional e-mail from Liam: I should clarify this. I create a color table "off-line" i.e. NOT with the color table widget. In other words, I create/edit my OWN *.ct file and place it in ~/.visit.

We have no plans to make VisIt check for new color tables in the ~/.visit directory while it is running.
