ColorControl and ColourMapWidget are used with ScalarMaps to
Display.RGB in order to control the function from 1-D value
to 3-D RGB space. However, a ScalarMap to Display.Value defines
a function from 1-D value to 1-D Display.Value, which is linear
with details controlled by the setRange() of the ScalarMap.
A ScalarMap to Display.HSV defines a function from 1-D value to
3-D HSV (i.e., Hue, Saturation, Value) space and can be
controlled via ColorControl (note Hue values are in the range
0.0 to 360.0 rather than 0.0 to 1.0 for other color components).
But we have never written widgets appropriate for ColorControls
with ScalarMaps to HSV or CMY.
Good luck,
Bill
