We can use vtkParametricTorus to construct a curved 3D arrow. However, during this process, the opening needs to be closed, and the boundary should be preprocessed: merge nearby points, remove duplicate points, and triangulate. RotationArrow.h RotationArrow.cpp Some interfaces of BasicMethod can be found on the websize.
Here are two methods used to sample points on a model (surface mesh or 3D polydata). Filter connected points Use BFS (Breadth First Search) algorithm to get connected points in polyData. Iterate through all the points in jumps to achieve the purpose of sampling. Sampling points by spatial distance Calculate Read more…
I want to find the central point, not mass center, between a few points like the following image. The points are on the same plane. Find the longest axis and the orthogonal axis for the points set firstly. Compute the positive farthest point and negative farthest point for every axis. Read more…
Here are a few points like the following picture. The source code: #include <iostream> #include <vector> #include <iostream> #include <vtkPolyData.h> #include <vtkProperty.h> #include <vtkPolyDataMapper.h> #include <vtkActor.h> #include <vtkPlane.h> #include <vtkRenderer.h> #include <vtkRenderWindow.h> #include <vtkRenderWindowInteractor.h> #include <vtkPoints.h> #include <vtkInteractorStyleTrackballCamera.h> #include “./point.hpp” #include <vtkPlane.h> #include <vtkPlaneSource.h> #include <vtkTransform.h> #define vtkSPtr vtkSmartPointer #define Read more…
The post is similar to Find Closest Plane Between Points In 3D By Levmar Algorithm. The vtkPlane in vtk9.0.2 or the newer version provides a way to calculate the fitting plane for a few points. static bool ComputeBestFittingPlane(vtkPoints* pts, double* origin, double* normal);. The origin will be the centroid of Read more…
Affine transformation can be decomposed to translation, rotation, and scale. As we know, the transformation can be represented by matrix. Related post: https://www.weiy.city/2021/11/the-releationship-between-local-transform-and-pose-transform/ It can be computed by translate matrix and rotate & scale matrix. Example: I try to do decomposition for a matrix. Read more…
The post is based on https://www.weiy.city/2021/11/vtk-rotate-vector-to-special-direction/.

Here is a convex object and an origin point outside it. is an arbitrary point in the boundary. Find the farthest point on the boundary along the vector . Name the farthest point . We get a new vector to find the farthest point on the boundary along the direction Read more…
I export scene from ParaView to get a mesh like the following image.
