Hey David,

Thanks for that explanation. Now it's bit clear about how lookup table
works. But in my case, I guess, binsize is not uniform. Let me put it in
this form

10     ==== (1.0, 0.0, 0.0)
20     ==== (1.0, 0.5, 0.0)
30     ==== (1.0, 1.0, 0.0)
40     ==== (0.5, 1.0, 0.0)
50     ==== (0.0, 1.0, 0.0)
60     ==== (0.0, 1.0, 0.5)
80     ==== (0.0, 1.0, 1.0)
100   ==== (0.0, 0.5, 1.0)
200   ==== (0.0, 0.0, 1.0)

in this case, bin size is not equal to (max-min)/n. I mean, lookup table
might calculate it like that. But If dont want in that way, then what
changes I have to do to implement? May be I am wrong in understanding the
meaning of binsize. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks
