Your best bet is to separate the scalar ranges and use a custom lookup table, as you've already pointed out below.<br><br>If you are familiar enough with creating your own classes in VTK, you could go for a more elegant solution : Add a boolean data-array attribute indicating if the data is grayscale or doppler. Then subclass from vtkLookupTable, and override the method "MapScalarsThroughTable2" so as to be able to set the appropriate color based on whether the grayscale bit is set or not. See vtkLookupTableWithEnabling as an example; it looks up an "Enabled" array to gray-out output colors based on whether the given value in EnabledArray is "0" or not. <br>

What would be the best solution to be able to create a mesh that has both greyscale values and color values? </div>
<div><br></div><div>I thought of two methods -- nudging the color values above the current 0->255 range, and create a lookuptable or colortransferfunction that takes this into account.</div><div><br></div><div>Some way of indicating the point is a color or greyscale point and coloring appropriately... although I'm not sure about how to implement this.</div>
