[vtkusers] Uneven colors after the vtkButterflySubdivisionFilter

[div]

Bill,

I am not sure I understand how to assigned scalar float, single component
values, and if i use a lookup table will I be able to assign a particular
color for a point(because that will be how I get the input) ? Could you
please give me a sample code of how to assign scalar float value, just that
part n C++ would do..
Thank you for your help.
