[vtkusers] Problem mapping scalars to colors using a vtkLooku pTable

Peter,

I don't think there's a class that does it directly, but you can define a
transfer function for colour, and one for opacity, then use that to
construct the lookup table.  eg:

  vtkColorTransferFunction *colourTF = vtkColorTransferFunction::New();
  colourTF->AddRGBPoint(0, r0, g0, b0);
	...
  colourTF->AddRGBPoint(255, r255, g255, b255);
  colourTF->Build();
	
  vtkPiecewiseFunction *opacityTF = vtkPiecewiseFunction::New();
  opacityTF->AddPoint(1, 0);
  opacityTF->AddPoint(255, 1); 

  vtkLookupTable *tbl = vtkLookupTable::New();
  tbl->SetRange(somemin , somemax); 
  tbl->SetNumberOfTableValues(256);
  for(int i=0; i < 256; i++) {
    double rgba[4];
    rgba[0] = colourTF->GetRedValue(i);
    rgba[1] = colourTF->GetGreenValue(i);
    rgba[2] = colourTF->GetBlueValue(i);
    rgba[3] = opacityTF->GetValue(i);
    tbl->SetTableValue(i,rgba);
  }

  something->SetLookupTable(tbl);



Hope that helps,
