[vtkusers] Confusing about the vtk file format

[Zhengwang Wu]

Hi, 

      I'm really confused about the explanation of the VTK file format in:
<http://www.vtk.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/file-formats.pdf>
http://www.vtk.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/file-formats.pdf.

      Especially the part about the sacalars and colortable.

      We could define a specified colortable. But how could we build the
correspondence between the scalars and the colortable. 

      The most convenient example is the example 1 (The cube with 8 vertices
and 6 polygons) in the VTK file format document from the above website. For
the point attributes in that vtk file, each vertex is corresponds to a
value. And they also used a specified colortable (my_table). But it seems
there is no link between them. Especially when I visualize this in the
paraview. Then how can we link the scalars and the color_table?

      Many thanks for anyone's kind help.

      Best.

 

Zhengwang
