you should call vtkRenderWindow::Render() before updating the pipeline.<br>
This is what has worked for me reliably:<br>
<br>
VTK_CREATE(vtkWindowToImageFilter, w2i);<br>
w2i->SetInput(rw);<br>
w2i->ReadFrontBufferOff();<br>
rw->Render();<br>
w2i->Modified(); // See doc <a href="http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkWindowToImageFilter.html#details" target="_blank">http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkWindowToImageFilter.html#details</a><br>
<br>
VTK_CREATE(vtkPNGWriter, writer);<br>
writer->SetFileName(fname.c_str());<br>
writer->SetInputConnection(w2i->GetOutputPort());<br>
writer->Write();<br>
<br>
where VTK_CREATE is a widely used macro:<br>
<br>
#define VTK_CREATE(type, name) vtkSmartPointer<type> name = vtkSmartPointer<type>::New();<br>

Hi Scott, thanks for the reply. Unfortunately it didn't help. I think I remember some other thread with the "ShouldRerender" flag, but I think that mentioned it should be windowToImageFilter.ShouldRerenderOff();<br>
, not on. I tried both anyway, but no change<br>
<br>
All the best,<br>
Fredrik<br>

<span class="">Hi Frederik,<br>
<br>
I believe I have encountered this before. What solved it for me was turning on the "ShouldRerender" flag in addition to what you have set. Something like:<br>
<br>
windowToImageFilter.ShouldRerenderOn();<br>
<br>
could possibly help.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Scott<br>

Hello. There are several threads on this topic, and the few I see, the proposed solutions are not enough or the thread is left unresolved. see this:<br>

I still am unable to generate anything else than a black image.<br>
I'm on the latest VTK, under Mac OS X 10.10. I also tried offscreen rendering, but no luck.<br>
<br>
Hours of googling and testing solutions have proven unsuccessful, I'd really appreciate if anyone could help me.<br>
<br>
here's a snippet of my code if you think it'll help<br>
<br>
tempFile = "xyz.bmp";<br>
// write to temporary bmp file<br>
vtkBMPWriter writer = new vtkBMPWriter();<br>
vtkWindowToImageFilter windowToImageFilter = new vtkWindowToImageFilter();<br>
windowToImageFilter.ReadFrontBufferOff();<br>
windowToImageFilter.SetMagnification(1);<br>
windowToImageFilter.SetInput(renderWindow);<br>
windowToImageFilter.SetInputBufferTypeToRGBA();<br>
windowToImageFilter.ReadFrontBufferOff();<br>
<br>
windowToImageFilter.Update();<br>
<br>
windowToImageFilter.ReadFrontBufferOff();<br>
writer.SetInputConnection(windowToImageFilter.GetOutputPort());<br>
writer.SetFileName(tempFile);<br>
writer.Write();<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
