## Setting the active color table

VisIt has the concept of active color tables, which are the color tables used to color plots that do not specify a color table. There is both an active continuous color table (for plots that prefer to use continuous color tables) and an active discrete color table (for plots that prefer to use discrete color tables). The active color table can be different for each visualization window. To set the active continuous color table, select a new color table name from the Continuous menu in the Active color table area. To select a new active discrete color table, select a new color table name from the Discrete color table menu in the Active color table area.
