[vtkusers] GetColor from vtkLookupTable problem

[Eric E. Monson]

Hey Jothy,

If you move your GetColor() call after the first Render(), then it will get the correct value. The problem is that at the point you're trying to grab the color from the lookup table it's not really built yet (you can try GetRange() to see that it's still (0,1) when you're calling for the color at 2, for example).

So, you can either grab the color after the Render() call, or explicitly call SetRange(0,7) and then Build() on the LUT before you try to grab the color.
