Either the name of a built-in color table, or the name of a palette file on disk. See the table below for built-in color tables.
A hot to cold color palette, with blue representing low values and red high values. (Default) |

The ct command changes the color table which is used by the pseudocolor ( pc ) command for the active window. The built-in color tables listed above are always available. In addition, MeshTV can read raw binary palette files produced by programs such as the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) tools. The format for these binary files is 256 sets of 3 bytes where each respective byte in the trio represents red, green, and blue for each of the 256 colors.
Each window has its own color table, although on most systems you will only see one table in use at any one time. By changing the active window, issuing the ct command, and then the reset command, the palette will change.
