This looks good!
Users would also like to be able to create these style plots w/o a field.
s1:
plots:
p1:
type: "mesh"
topology: "mytopo" # optional, needed if mutiple topos exist
color_table:
solid: [0.0, .184, .655]
We should add an option to the interface that allows a solid color mesh plot.
This will require plumbing behind the scenes, maybe it is realized as a pc plot with a dummy field.
Side note:
We should also consider accepting hex style colors since those are ubiquitous vs floating point style colors. Let's add a separate ticket for this,.

We actually want this case to look exactly like the solid case.
The idea is a colored plot of the surface without having identify or know about any of the fields.

Sorry, I just assumed that you wanted this to just be a colored version of the mesh plot that is produced. Do you want a different backend to reroute this?

Yes, I think we need to do something behind the scenes to make this work transparently for the user.

Okay, I added another test this time that does pseudo color plots without input fields.

we discussed and agreed that pseudocolor accepts a color table with a single color and no field is the best way to expose this to users. |

We can also discuss aliases for plot types, here are some ideas: |

Looks good, thanks for getting the details ironed out!

Implemented for both VTK-H and Devil Ray rendering. I took two different approaches. The implementation in the Devil Ray parsing builds a color_table with the one color and passes it to parse color table, the other just sets the color table directly. Curious which is prefered.
Also, I built this on top of the Json Schema changes. I figured it was easier to implement the changes to the parameter checking there then to have to update them later.
