We can use VTK observer-command mechanism to listen to slider value changing event and override our responding method void Execute(vtkObject *caller, unsigned long, void*) to change target item’s size. It’s easy to implement with the subclass of vtkCommand and vtkSliderWidget. The following example shows how to do it. I add Read more…
AddInputConnection is a public interface provided by vtkAlgorithm. We can use it to combine multiple input sources to get a final 3D model with some special algorithm class. The following example has two VTK algorithm classes which show us the multiple source connections. int main() { vtkSmartPointer<vtkSphereSource> sphereSource = vtkSmartPointer<vtkSphereSource>::New(); Read more…
vtkInteractorEventRecorder can be used to record VTK events in a single file and replay it by pass these events to vtkRenderWindowInteractor. Record The following code shows how to use it to save all interactive information into a file. We rotate the cone and switch its surface status between wireframe and Read more…
vtkAbstractWidget has its mechanism to handle interactive events. Here is a simple demo indicates the differences between the responses of widget and vtkInteractorStyleTrackballCamera. Example Code: int main() { vtkSmartPointer<vtkConeSource> cone = vtkSmartPointer<vtkConeSource>::New(); cone->Update(); vtkSmartPointer<vtkPolyDataMapper> coneMapper = vtkSmartPointer<vtkPolyDataMapper>::New(); coneMapper->SetInputData( cone->GetOutput() ); coneMapper->Update(); vtkSmartPointer<vtkActor> coneActor = vtkSmartPointer<vtkActor>::New(); coneActor->SetMapper( coneMapper ); vtkSmartPointer<vtkPointHandleRepresentation3D> handleRep Read more…
Huangdi, the Yellow Emperor, is a Chinese ancestor and culture hero. It’s said that he has two possible last names, Gongsun or Ji, both have the style of Chinese dynasty Zhou. According to the record, the man could speak after dozens of days of birth, he was smart, charismatic, brave Read more…
It’s a simple job for us to make bounding box visible in traditional VTK render window. We can SetCurrentRenderer for renderWindowInteractor->GetInteractorStyle() and press P to show it. #include <iostream> #include <vtkSmartPointer.h> #include <vtkSphereSource.h> #include <vtkActor.h> #include <vtkConeSource.h> #include <vtkRenderer.h> #include <vtkRenderWindow.h> #include <vtkPolyDataMapper.h> #include <vtkProperty.h> #include <vtkRenderWindowInteractor.h> #include <vtkLight.h> #include Read more…
Create Patch Files Create simple Email-format files which contain commit content with git. For example, $ git format-patch -M origin/master -5 0001-remove-debug-dir.patch 0002-adjust-height.patch 0003-use-splitter-as-stackWidget-page.patch 0004-Make-gif-resize.patch 0005-add-resize-event.patch The patch file has UNIX mailbox format context which is convenient for e-mail submission or for use with git am, we can use command Read more…
My last programmer tutor looks like a college student, he is very careful on his usual work, read the code and think more, make project fewer errors, this is his attitude towards daily tasks. This tutor brought me some important development principles which help me a lot in the future. Read more…
We often use TCP and UDP connections in Internet communication. TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is connection-oriented, it tracks all data sent. By contrast, UDP (User Datagram Protocol) doesn’t care about datagrams it sent, all information is no sequencing. In other words, UDP is unreliable. Both socket technologies can be used Read more…
