This is the widget that I am using (sorry I meant to say
ctkVTKScalarsToColorsWidget in the thread below).
I am looking at how the Volume Rendering (VolumePropertiesWidget) module is
using this widget, and my understanding is that ctkVTKVolumePropertiyWidget
(used by VolumePropertiesWidget) uses a vtkColorTransferFunction to update
the view.

The main problem is that for some reason the widget does not display
anything (only white).

Here is a snippet of how I update the ctkVTKScalarsToColorsWidget widget
(or see the updateTransferFunction() in the attached file):

void updateTransferFunction()
{
...
  d->ColorTransferFunction->SetAlpha(1.0);
  d->ColorTransferFunction->Build();


d->HistogramWidget->view()->setColorTransferFunctionToPlots(d->ColorTransferFunction);
}

Where d->HistogramWidget is an instance of ctkVTKScalarsToColorsWidget.

Thanks,

/Ricardo
