<p class="MsoNormal">I don't remember vtkSmartVolumeMapper has this logic, I will have a look. In the old GPU raycast mapper, there was some issue with independent components so may be that is the reason that smart volume mapper switched to fixed point

 ray cast. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">My understanding is that I have to use IndependentComponentsOff to make the mapper use GPU rendering.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">When I set IndependentComponentsOff, only one color transfer function, and only one scalar opacity function to the volume property,</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">the magnitude data (the second component) is also color-coded (refer to the second figure).</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I thought this contradicts the method comments of IndependentComponentsOn/ IndependentComponentsOff.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">“For 2 component data, the first is passed through the first color transfer function and the second component is passed through the first opacity transfer function.”</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Am I missing something?</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Can I make the volume rendering look the same as using two components?</p>
