Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points and only asks whether a scalar bar can be displayed. Start by locating the C++ viewer's colormap and scalar-visualization entry points, then clarify the expected appearance and scope with maintainers; done means a scalar color bar is displayed alongside the relevant visualization.
