Description:
function col_rep_get_type_failed
invalid color representation type specified

Solution:
This error message is caused by a corrupted Map appearance file.

1. To delete the corrupted map go to Basemap > File > Delete > Delete Maps... >

2. Select the current Available map and Available appearance file >  OK > Select
Yes in the Confirmation box. The maps can also be deleted in DataManager > Map >
Delete > Select the current Map files and Map appearance files > Select 'Delete
selected map files only' > Delete 

If only the corrupted Map appearance file is selected for deletion then this
warning message may occur 'One or more files marked for deletion belong to a map
picture and are not deleted. Remove all maps that contain the file in order to
delete the file.' In the Data Manager the message will say 'File(s) not deleted,
in use by picture file.' When a corrupted Map Appearance file belongs to any
other Map, then that Map will also need to be deleted in order to delete the
corrupted Map appearance. The default_map and default_appearance can be deleted
and regenerated.  See Note.

3. Open a basemap that does not contain this error message  with File > Open or
create a new basemap. See log 'How to create a new basemap?'
 
**Note: If all of the Available maps and Available appearance files are deleted,
close the basemap and relauch from the Session Manager. When the Basemap reopens
the Map Type window will appear and a geological or geophysical map can be
created. If there are no wells in the project the default geophysical will
automatically be created and if there are no surveys in the project the default
geophysical will be created. None of the interpretation, wells, cartography,
saved paths, etc. will be lost when deleting the maps. Only the user-defined
layers will be lost.
