[vtkusers] GetColor from vtkLookupTable problem

[Eric E. Monson]

I'm glad it's working, but in your original code you had range1=[1.0,6.0] and generated three contours from that, so the middle value was 3.5

>>> 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).
