Rainbow
Description¶
This example demonstrates the use and manipulation of vtkLookupTable's.
First a simple pipeline that reads a vtkStructuredGrid and then extracts a plane using vtkStructuredGeometryFilter from the grid. The plane will be colored differently by using different vtkLookupTable's.
Note
The Update method is manually invoked because it causes the reader to read; later on we use the output of the reader to set a range for the scalar values.
Note
This original tcl source code for this example is here.

Download and Build Rainbow¶
Click here to download Rainbow and its CMakeLists.txt file. Once the tarball Rainbow.tar has been downloaded and extracted,
cd Rainbow/build
If VTK is installed:
cmake ..
If VTK is not installed but compiled on your system, you will need to specify the path to your VTK build:
cmake -DVTK_DIR:PATH=/home/me/vtk_build ..
Build the project:
make
and run it:
./Rainbow
