<p>Hi Sebastien,</p>
I stored the data as vtk data and used the vtkDataConverter which
seemed to work fine. When I run the code, every actor appears
exactly at the right place. So I guess the information in the vtk
data must be correct (without ever using any function like
"setPosition"). Though I do not understand why I cannot retrieve the
information of their positions in the code. <br>
<p>Here is how I read my data files, it is a function I found in the
documentation:</p>
<p>function loadSegment(string, actor, renderer, i){<br>
const reader = vtkHttpDataSetReader.newInstan<wbr>ce({ fetchGzip:
true });<br>
reader.setUrl(string).then(() => {<br>
reader.loadData().then(() => {<br>
renderer.resetCamera();<br>
renderWindow.render();<br>
});<br>
});<br>
const mapper = vtkMapper.newInstance();<br>
mapper.setInputConnection(read<wbr>er.getOutputPort());<br>
actor.setMapper(mapper);<br>
renderer.addActor(actor);<br>
}</p>
<p>Any ideas what could be wrong?</p>
<p>Thank you for your help!<br>

<div>Hi Sebastian and Logan,
<div>
<div> </div>
<div>thank you a lot for your help and i apologize
for my late answer!</div>
<div>Unfortunately I still could not solve the
problem. I tried both suggestions:</div>
<div>With <strong>actor</strong>.getCenter() I get
the default-values (0,0,0) for each actor. So I
tried to get the information of the dataset as you
suggested:</div>
<span>
<div> </div>
<div> dataset = mapper.getInputData();</div>
<div> bounds = dataset.getBounds();</div>
<div> </div>
</span>
<div>By doing so I get the following error massage:</div>
<div><strong> "getBounds called on an array
with components of 1"</strong></div>
<div> </div>
<div>The output of getBounds remains default because
of the error.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As I could not find any solutions yet, I would
be grateful for any help!</div>

<div>Hi Katrin,
<div> </div>
<div>The actor position only describe the
relative position to the data, that's
why by default they are always (0,0,0).</div>
<div>Which means its your source or
dataset that has the information about
the position that you are looking for.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>For example to find the bounds of a
rendered dataset you can do as follow.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>dataset = mapper.getInputData();</div>
<div>bounds = dataset.getBounds();</div>
<div> </div>
<div>// bounds is an array as follow:</div>
<div>// [ minX, maxX, minY, maxY, minZ,
maxZ]</div>
<div> </div>

<div>Dear all,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am using a visualization of
several actors with VTK-js.
Unfortunately, when using <em>actor.getPosition()
</em>I always get [0,0,0] as a
result, no matter which actor I
checked, although they appear on
different positions in my
rendering window.</div>
<div>How can I get the real
positions or centers of the
different actors?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As I am completely new to
VTK-js and I could not find any
solutions to my problem, any
help would be great!</div>
