[Paraview] ParaView v5.3: Generating textures from scalars and lookup table

[Nenad Vujicic]

Hello everyone,

Does anyone have idea how to solve generating textures problem?

I continued to decompose the problem and I'm curious, is interpolation of
scalars before mapping performed (when OpenGL2 is selected) by shaders
(on-the-fly, during display) or is an intermediate texture generated?

Also, in OpenGL case, vtkPainter was available. This is missing in OpenGL2.
Where has this functionality moved to or is it missing?

Nenad.
