Converting color table types

It is possible to convert a continuous color table to a discrete color table and vice-versa using the Continuous and Discrete radio buttons in the editor portion of the Color table window. Changing the color table type from discrete to continuous does not change the color table's color control points; it only changes how they are used. If you select the levels color table and click the Continuous radio button, the color table will be changed into a continuous color table and the Editor area will change to continuous mode and show the color table in a spectrum but no color control points will have changed. You can even turn the color table back into a discrete color table and the Editor area will show the color table in discrete mode, but the color control points will not have changed.
