Summary0011856: Add filter that creates block id variables
DescriptionWe need a filter that creates intelligent block ids. This new variable needs to be sorted in increasing order, as well as random order.

The reason that the current blockid doesn't work is that users often use block IDs that that group blocks together, but are not all monotonically increasing. For instance, you could have block counts of 1,2,3,10,11,12,20,21,22,100,and 101. Obviously, we want the Color Legend (and color range) to go from 1 to 10, not 1 to 100.

Actually, I would argue that what you really want is a discrete color map that automatically assigns a different color to each value that appears as a block ID. But then, that would take significantly more work to implement, and in a world of limited development resources...

Commenting on Ken's note - what you state is the same as a rainbow color map, with the new "block id" assigned randomly to the blocks. I believe this is what I asked for as one option (random order) and using an existing color map.

Commenting on Alan's comment to my note - Although similar, they are not exactly the same. What I'm thinking would assign colors from a well thought out palette, like that for series in the 2D charts, rather than randomly picking colors from the rainbow. Furthermore, I would want the discrete color map to be more pervasive. When you brought up the color map it would show the discrete colors with each labeled for the appropriate value.

Once again, this would be somewhat significant work.

Replying to ken's comment on my comment to Ken's note - what you say makes sense, and is probably a better solution. Lets go with what Ken said.

Understand. I do have a few users that are sticking with EnSight due to this lack of functionality.

A potential workaround was added as BUG 0014256. Feel free to reopen if that doesn't address this issue.

This is a good solution. The "randomness" was somewhat an issue, using bake.e (ask me for it), but it is good enough.

Tested Linux, remote server, master.
