Detailed Description

Superclass for mapping scalar values to colors.

vtkScalarsToColors is a general-purpose base class for objects that convert scalars to colors. This include vtkLookupTable classes and color transfer functions. By itself, this class will simply rescale the scalars.

The scalar-to-color mapping can be augmented with an additional uniform alpha blend. This is used, for example, to blend a vtkActor's opacity with the lookup table values.

Specific scalar values may be annotated with text strings that will be included in color legends using SetAnnotations, SetAnnotation, GetNumberOfAnnotatedValues, GetAnnotatedValue, GetAnnotation, RemoveAnnotation, and ResetAnnotations.

This class also has a method for indicating that the set of annotated values form a categorical color map; by setting IndexedLookup to true, you indicate that the annotated values are the only valid values for which entries in the color table should be returned. In this mode, subclasses should then assign colors to annotated values by taking the modulus of an annotated value's index in the list of annotations with the number of colors in the table.

The output format can be set to VTK_RGBA (4 components), VTK_RGB (3 components), VTK_LUMINANCE (1 component, greyscale), or VTK_LUMINANCE_ALPHA (2 components). If not supplied, the output format defaults to RGBA. The color mode determines the behavior of mapping. If VTK_COLOR_MODE_DEFAULT is set, then unsigned char data arrays are treated as colors (and converted to RGBA if necessary); If VTK_COLOR_MODE_DIRECT_SCALARS is set, then all arrays are treated as colors (integer types are clamped in the range 0-255, floating point arrays are clamped in the range 0.0-1.0. Note 'char' does not have enough values to represent a color so mapping this type is considered an error); otherwise, the data is mapped through this instance of ScalarsToColors. The component argument is used for data arrays with more than one component; it indicates which component to use to do the blending. When the component argument is -1, then the this object uses its own selected technique to change a vector into a scalar to map.
