[vtkusers] Changing Text Property of axis labels for XY Plots

[Helvin Lui]

You need to set scalarvisibilityOff() for the mapper, else by default the
mapper controls the colour. I came across this problem before too, and made
an entry in my blog, where I say what I want to do, what problem I met, and
how I solved it.
You need something like this: map.ScalarVisibilityOff()
