[vtkusers] Reverse color in vtkScalarsToColors?

[BBerco]

Hi all,

I am using a vtkColorBarActor provided with an instance of
vtkScalarsToColors obtained from a vtkPolyDataMapper to display a range of
scalar values shown on the vtkPolyData connected to the mapper.

My problem is that the maximum scalar value (i.e the max in "surface_data"
below) corresponds to the blue end of the colorbar, while the minimum scalar
value is associated with its red end. 

I have been looking for a way to reverse this behavior (so as to have the
maximum value matched with the red and the minimum with the blue), to no
avail. I thought I had found what I was looking for  there
<http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples/Cxx/Visualization/ElevationBandsWithGlyphs>  
, but this was unsuccessful as the GetLookupTable method returns an instance
of vtkScalarsToColors and not vtkLookUpTable...

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

ps: below is how I construct the colorbar from the input data mapper
associated with the polydata 
the data corresponds to


	vtkSmartPointer<vtkActor> shape_actor = this -> parent ->
get_actor_vector()[0];

	shape_actor -> GetMapper() -> SetScalarRange(min_magnitude, max_magnitude);

	shape_actor -> GetMapper() -> GetInput() -> GetCellData() ->
SetScalars(surface_data);
	shape_actor -> GetMapper() -> ScalarVisibilityOn();
	shape_actor -> GetMapper() -> SetScalarModeToUseCellData();

	vtkSmartPointer<vtkScalarBarActor> scalarBar =
	    vtkSmartPointer<vtkScalarBarActor>::New();

	scalarBar -> SetLookupTable(shape_actor -> GetMapper() ->
GetLookupTable());
	scalarBar -> SetTitle("Orthonormal acceleration magnitude (m/s^2)");
	scalarBar -> SetUnconstrainedFontSize (true);
	scalarBar -> GetTitleTextProperty() -> SetFontSize(10);
	scalarBar -> GetLabelTextProperty() -> SetFontSize(10);
	scalarBar -> SetNumberOfLabels(4);

	this -> parent -> get_renderer() -> AddActor2D(scalarBar);
	this -> parent -> qvtkWidget -> GetRenderWindow() -> Render();
