I want to combine all png files to a single PDF file. The following python script can make this task simpler. If you want to use the script, please make sure python can be installed and folder path and pdf file are correct. #! /usr/local/bin/python3 # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- Read more…
I want to show png picture by vtkActor2D rather than vtkImageActor or vtkImageViewer. There is not rotating and scaling for the picture when move mouse and click if the vtkActor2D object works. But how to do it? The following project shows axes and a png picture in the window, the Read more…
I want to fill the image to become a square one. The interface copyMakeBorder can help us to expand the original image to a bigger size. /* @param top @param bottom @param left @param right Parameter specifying how many pixels in each direction from the source image rectangle to extrapolate.

The article is based on How to use the OpenCV parallel_for_ to parallelize your code, the example project uses OpenCV parallel_for_ to speed up the computing process. Now I plan to use the algorithm class vtkSMPTools in VTK to get the same positive effect. The unit computing task is put Read more…
Development environment: VTK-8.1.1 macOS Catalina 10.15 Python 2.7.10 Configure variables about Qt in CMake GUi fristly. Some details are in the following script file configure.sh. cmake ./ -G “Unix Makefiles” \ -DVTK_USE_QVTK:BOOL=ON \ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local \ -DVTK_USE_GUISUPPORT:BOOL=ON \ -DVTK_QT_VERSION=5 \ -DModule_vtkGUISupportQt:BOOL=ON \ -DModule_vtkGUISupportQtOpenGL:BOOL=ON \ -DModule_vtkGUISupportQtSQL:BOOL=ON \ -DModule_vtkGUISupportQtWebkit:BOOL=OFF \ -DModule_vtkRenderingQt:BOOL=ON \ -DModule_vtkViewsQt:BOOL=ON Read more…
I write a small project to create a curve that can be changed and export. The class vtkContourWidget is used to re-construct the curve, vtkXMLPolyDataWriter object helps us to store the polydata. All details for the project had been pushed to GitHub, link: CreateCurve If you fork the repository and Read more…
Store Polydata Some Special polydata can’t be stored by vtkSTLWriter. The following polydata contains points and a line in its structure, it can’t be saved by vtkSTLWriter, but vtkXMLPolyDataWriter works. vtkObject::GlobalWarningDisplayOn(); int numPts = 10; vtkSmartPointer<vtkPoints> points = vtkSmartPointer<vtkPoints>::New(); int offset = numPts / 4; for (int i = 0; Read more…
What does the vtkImageData look like? It has a multi-layered point set. In the following example, I show all points in a vtkImageData object in the left reader and its polydata in the right render. #define vtkSPtr vtkSmartPointer #define vtkSPtrNew(Var, Type) vtkSPtr<Type> Var = vtkSPtr<Type>::New(); unsigned char inval = 255; Read more…
I write the reason why concatenate transform and its inversed transform for offTrans in scale operation based on the article Rotate, Translate And Scale For Camera vtkSPtrNew( scaleTrans, vtkTransform ); scaleTrans->Scale( factor, factor, 1 ); scaleTrans->Update(); vtkSPtrNew( offTrans, vtkTransform ); offTrans->Concatenate( worldTrans ); offTrans->Concatenate( scaleTrans ); offTrans->Concatenate( worldInversedTrans ); offTrans->Update(); Read more…
