I am fairly certain we don't need two flavors. At the end of the day, a color table is nothing more than a list of colors (and possibly `opacities`, and...

### Some observations From a set of `K` color *control points* (rgb + alphas/opacities + positions in [0,1]) we define `N` colors. When the table is discrete, `N=K` and the...

From the above, color tables are just lists of color control points which have names (and now tags to help sort among the many possibilities). When a table is used...

Bracket top `CMakeLists.txt` X11 logic for non-darwin and confirm it builds
