Colors are handled as any other data -- a 3-vector array, which is the
colors component as opposed to positions or data.  You can read in the
colors as some field and then use Replace to swap the values with those of
colors for the data field.  The colors component is an array of floats with
normalized RGB (0-1).

Having said that, you still have to assign opacity.  Otherwise, you'll go
to the expense of volume rendering yet only see the boundary.

Subject:  [opendx-users] Explicit RGB data



Hi,

     I have a set of points in the following format

      TimeStep   X-Grid   Y-Grid   Z-Grid   R   G   B
      --------   ------   ------   ------   --  --  --
         t0        x0       y0       z0     r0  g0  b0
         t0        x1       y1       z1     r1  g1  b1
         t0        x2       y2       z2     r2  g2  b2
         :         :        :        :      :   :   :
         tn        xn       yn       zn     rn  gn  bn

     I'd like to visualize the above as a volume, how do I group the RGB as
explicit colours rather than the AutoColor method.

Cheers
