<div dir="ltr">Hi Oleg,<div><br></div><div>Welcome to VTK!<br><div><br></div><div>Thanks for providing the code sample. You must be using VTK 5-something? In 6 and above, your SetInput() calls need to be changed to SetInputData(). Also, as a general note about using VTK, you can use</div><div><br></div><div>algorithm2.SetInputConnection(algorithm1.GetOutputPort())</div><div><br></div><div>to create pipelines rather than pass vtkPolyData objects around. This is usually preferable as any changes to your upstream algorithms will propagate down to the renderer automatically. That might save you some code.</div><div><br></div><div>Otherwise your example is pretty nice and compact in my opinion.</div><div><br></div><div>To update the surface triangles, you need to set up an observer on the contourWidget's InteractionEvent. You can do this with</div><div><br></div><div>contourWidget.AddObserver('InteractionEvent', my_callback)<br></div><div><br></div><div>where my_callback is defined with</div><div><br></div><div>def my_callback(contourWidget, unused):</div><div> global contourWidget, mapper<br></div><div><div><br></div><div> cd = contourWidget.GetRepresentation().GetContourRepresentationAsPolyData() </div><div><br></div><div> td = gen_triangles(cd) </div><div> mapper.SetInputData(td)</div></div><div><br></div><div>Note that I've made the mapper global so you can access it in the callback. The first argument is the contour widget and the second is just the event type, which you don't need in this callback.</div><div><br></div><div>By the way, you will likely get better results for the surface if you use the following definition of gen_triangles:</div><div><br></div><div><div>def gen_triangles(cd):</div><div> clsdPoly = vtk.vtkPolyData()</div><div> clsdPoly.Allocate()</div><div> clsdPoly.SetPoints(cd.GetPoints())</div><div><br></div><div> numPts = cd.GetNumberOfPoints()</div><div> idList = vtk.vtkIdList()</div><div> idList.SetNumberOfIds(numPts)</div><div> [idList.SetId(i, i) for i in xrange(numPts)]</div><div><br></div><div> clsdPoly.InsertNextCell(vtk.VTK_POLYGON, idList)</div><div><br></div><div> triangles = vtk.vtkTriangleFilter()</div><div> triangles.SetInputData(clsdPoly)</div><div> triangles.Update()</div><div> </div><div> return triangles.GetOutput()</div></div><div><br></div><div>This creates a VTK polygon cell which works better with the vtkTriangleFilter than the line cells from the contour widget representation.</div><div><br></div><div>Hope that helps,</div><div>Cory</div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jul 15, 2015 at 1:01 AM, Oleg Krivosheev <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:oleg.krivosheev@xcision.com" target="_blank">oleg.krivosheev@xcision.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hi, All<div><br></div><div>what I'm trying to do is to have editable contour in vtkContourWidget, with internal</div><div>area filled with somewhat transparent color.
