Detailed Description

Create a scalar bar with labels.

vtkScalarBarActor creates a scalar bar with annotation text. A scalar bar is a legend that indicates to the viewer the correspondence between color value and data value. The legend consists of a rectangular bar made of rectangular pieces each colored a constant value. Since vtkScalarBarActor is a subclass of vtkActor2D, it is drawn in the image plane (i.e., in the renderer's viewport) on top of the 3D graphics window.

To use vtkScalarBarActor you must associate a vtkScalarsToColors (or subclass) with it. The lookup table defines the colors and the range of scalar values used to map scalar data. Typically, the number of colors shown in the scalar bar is not equal to the number of colors in the lookup table, in which case sampling of the lookup table is performed.

Other optional capabilities include specifying the fraction of the viewport size (both x and y directions) which will control the size of the scalar bar and the number of annotation labels. The actual position of the scalar bar on the screen is controlled by using the vtkActor2D::SetPosition() method (by default the scalar bar is centered in the viewport). Other features include the ability to orient the scalar bar horizontally of vertically and controlling the format (printf style) with which to print the labels on the scalar bar. Also, the vtkScalarBarActor's property is applied to the scalar bar and annotation (including layer, and compositing operator).

Set the text property/attributes of the title and the labels through the vtkTextProperty objects associated to this actor.

Warning:: If a vtkLogLookupTable is specified as the lookup table to use, then the labels are created using a logarithmic scale.

virtual const char* vtkScalarBarActor::GetClassName ( ) [virtual]

Reimplemented from vtkActor2D.

static int vtkScalarBarActor::IsTypeOf ( const char * name ) [static]

Return 1 if this class type is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeRevisionMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkActor2D.

virtual int vtkScalarBarActor::IsA ( const char * name ) [virtual]

Return 1 if this class is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeRevisionMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkActor2D.

void vtkScalarBarActor::PrintSelf	(	ostream &	os,
		vtkIndent	indent
	)			`[virtual]`

Methods invoked by print to print information about the object including superclasses. Typically not called by the user (use Print() instead) but used in the hierarchical print process to combine the output of several classes.

Reimplemented from vtkActor2D.
