[vtkusers] vtkLODActor->GetProperty()->SetColor() does not maintain the input color?

[Hong Yi]

That fixed it. Thank you so much for your help in solving this!!! I can now explain that "color mismatch" problem observed earlier now that I know the source of the problem. My stupid mistake.

Thanks again for all your help!!!

Hong

Those should be normalized 0.0 to 1.0. Divide each of yours by 255.

I will follow up on this when I've got time. In the meanwhile, let me know if you have any other suggestions for possibly fixing this problem.

The red color (255, 0, 0) and the pick color (255, 0, 255) will be preserved though. Hopefully this bit of experiment observation could provide some kind of clues on this...
