The article shows a way to find the bounding shell of the 3D model in its local coordinate system. Let’s create a cone and an axes actor which displays three axes in the world coordinate system. #include <iostream> #include <vtkSmartPointer.h> Read more…
We have to calculate the vector on the special direction firstly. void CalculateVecComponent(PointStruct originVec, PointStruct &axis0, PointStruct &vecOnAxis) { double cosTheta = originVec.Dot( axis0 ); return axis0*cosTheta; } Project point on line Point GetProjectPtOnDir(Point pt, Point dir, Point startPt) { Read more…

I had built VTK-8.1.1 and Qt5.12.1. After installing pyqt, I wrote a simple project and run it, the error message showed that it needs the newer version of Qt 5.15. So I download Qt-5.15.1 from https://download.qt.io/archive/qt , build it, and Read more…
Create two half spheres and save them in a vtp file by ParaView. We will use it to explore an algorithm that finds the two separated cut list and sort all points in every list. The original scene is like Read more…
I want to change the camera’s position and focal point to focus on a small region on the surface of the sphere. The parameters viewUp direction, focal point, position, and parallel scale are important for our target. Our scene comes Read more…
How to create a local coordinate system and show it? We define the local coordinate system has its own x-axis, y-axis, z-axis, and origin. We call the left coordinate system L1 and the right coordinate system L2. Regard L1 as Read more…
We can use vtkButtonWidget to create 2D buttons in the render window. The vtkWidgetRepresentation object controls the button’s position and show button pictures. Write our class ButtonCallBack that inherits vtkCommand and use it to listen for vtkCommand::StateChangedEvent, then we can Read more…
Find a local partial region on the surface of the sphere, mark it by red color. Finally, we will compute the normal of the partial region and show it by a green line. The whole scene is just like the Read more…
