But how could we build the correspondence between the scalars and the colortable. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> The most convenient example is the example 1 (The cube with 8 vertices and 6 polygons) in the VTK file format document from the above website. For the point attributes in that vtk file, each vertex is corresponds to a value. And they also used a specified colortable (my_table). But it seems there is no link between them. Especially when I visualize this in the paraview. Then how can we link the scalars and the color_table?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> Many thanks for anyone’s kind help.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> Best.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Zhengwang<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
