The .ctbl file extension stores color tables used by Slicer, a free image analysis and visualization software. Slicer color tables are plain text files with .txt or .ctbl extensions. They store values separated by spaces with custom headers. Header lines start with #. Discrete color tables have headers starting with “Color table file”. Continuous color tables have headers starting with “Color procedural file.” RGB values define the table’s colors. Discrete table files also store opacity values. CTBL files associate with Slicer’s Colors module to control image coloring. The Colors module loads settings from CTBL files. Users can open and edit CTBL files in text editors like Notepad or TextEdit.
Mime-type for CTBL is application/octet-stream. Related file extensions include mrml for Slicer scene descriptions. CTBL files are not limited to Slicer. Other applications may use them, like Xamine. Xamine is a spectrum display program. Its CTBL files store internal data. Windows associates CTBL files with programs like Xamine. If a CTBL file does not open properly, the cause may be: improper software association, incomplete download, malware infection, or missing software. Simple solutions exist. Check the association. Download the right software. Scan for malware. Verify complete download. Following these steps can help access CTBL files.
