<div>Sorry, I mistyped something and the email has been sent.<br>
<br>
I'm new to VTK and on the rush to develop mock-up rendering a z = f( x, y ) 3D surface using the VTK in a Qt main-window.<br>
<br>
</div>
The goal of the mock-up is to test the load for large data such as, for example, 32000x32000 discretization of the x and y axes.<br>
<br>
</div>
I made a QMainWidow using a QVTKWidget and displaying a sphere (taken from the Examples section).<br>
<br>
</div>
I understood the general pipeline layout (similar to ITK) but I don't know which VTK classes I should use/derive to modelize my z = f( x, y ) function and render it.<br>
<br>
Should I :<br>
<ul>
<li>derive from vtkPolyDataAlgorithm and implement a point generation algorithm ;<br>
</li><li>fill in some vtkImageData ;</li><li>implement some filter taking grid data ;<br>
</li><li>other?</li></ul>
<p>Basically, the user input the size (e.g. 32000), the software generates and render the data.</p>
<p>As an option, I would like to add some controls to dynamically increase/decrease the size parameter.</p>
<p>In a second step, we would like to test some adaptative rendering algorithms the fast render the large number of vertices. Does VTK provide such algorithms? How could I implement and insert one into the VTK pipeline ?</p>
<p>Best regards,<br>
