[vtkusers] Simple queries

[John Platt]

Hi,

 

Have you tried using vtkCellPicker in your interactor?

 

   vtCellPicker* cellPicker = vtkCellPicker::New();

   myInteractor->SetPicker(cellPicker);

   cellPicker->Delete();

 

Then add observers for the standard pick event (P key)

 

   vtkCallbackCommand* pickEventCBC = vtkCallbackCommand::New();

   pickEventCBC->SetCallback(MyPickEventHandler );

   vtkAbstractPicker* picker = myInteractor->GetPicker();

   picker->AddObserver( vtkCommand::StartPickEvent, pickEventCBC, 0.5 );

   picker->AddObserver( vtkCommand::PickEvent,        pickEventCBC, 0.5
);

   picker->AddObserver( vtkCommand::EndPickEvent,  pickEventCBC, 0.5 );

   pickEventCBC->Delete();

 

Do your work in MyPickEventHandler() e.g.

 

   pickedCell = picker->GetCellId();

 


 

 

HTH

 

John.

Hi Everybody,

                   I am quite new in VTK.I have some queries.I have got
a point on the surface of an object.I want to know the cell id which
contains the point and I also want to know the normal of the cell ( Is
there any difference between point normal and cell normal?) 

Thanks everyone in advance.

 

Oliver.
