Explore what will happen when we use delete on vtkSmartPointer<vtkActor> object. vtkSmartPointer<vtkActor> leftActor = vtkSmartPointer<vtkActor>::New(); leftActor->SetMapper( mapper ); //… void *ptr = leftActor.Get(); leftActor->GetProperty()->SetColor( 1, 0, 0 ); rightActor->GetProperty()->SetColor( 0, 1, 0 ); leftActor->Delete(); cout << “leftActor: ” << (void *)leftActor.Get() << endl; cout << “leftActor reference count: ” << Read more…
Draw a circle and an inner circle Graphics[{Circle[{0, 0}, 1], Circle[{0, -0.5}, 0.5]}] Draw 10 circles which has center (i,i) and i is in {1,10} Graphics[Table[Circle[{i, i}, 0.5], {i, 10}]] Connect 10 points which is at (i,i) data = Table[{i, i}, {i, 10}] ListLinePlot[data] Or: Graphics[Line[data]] ListLinePlot[{{1, 1}, {2, 3}, {3, Read more…
Use Transform We have both points on the image, the distance weight on the x-axis between the two points is 1. What is the distance weight on the vector (p1−p2) between the two points? It’s easy to calculate the result because we know Pythagorean theorem and the special direction is Read more…
I don’t know the difference between center and origin in vtkPlane when I use it in my project for the first time. I thought the center of the plane is its origin until today, it’s the reason why I could not get a correct rectangle when I tried to set Read more…
The library OpenCTM can be used to compress 3D data files. The new compressed file has only about 1/10 size compared with the original file. We can use vertex property to store the model’s color which is often PointData’s scalar in VTK. The following code snippet shows how to use Read more…
The vtkCamera object has a front clipping plane and back clipping plane. Users can only see the middle part between the clipping planes. So we can change the clipping plane's position, clipping range, to get a different 3D scene. The relevant variable in VTK is double vtkCamera: ClippingRange[2];. When we Read more…
We want to calculate a new vector that has no weight on the special axis. Calculate the projected vector on the special axis and remove it, the result is what we want. PointStruct CalculateVectorWeight(PointStruct vec0, PointStruct vec1) { vec0.Unit(); double dotValue = vec1.Dot( vec0 ); PointStruct onVec0 = vec0 * Read more…

The algorithm class vtkPolyDataNormals can be used to calculate normals of points and cells in polydata. The following example shows how to use it. Cube Create a cube in which every cell is a single square. All information can be found in polydata, we use vtkPolyDataNormals to handle it and Read more…
