[vtkusers] Textures, Colours, SetScalars

[Malcolm Drummond]

Doesn't this read in a simple bitmap file ?

bmpReader = vtk.vtkBMPReader()
bmpReader.SetFileName(VTK_DATA_ROOT + "/Data/masonry.bmp")

it's all there, in TPlane.py in the examples/rendering/python dir.

Hope this helps

  Hello All

  I am quite disappointed with vtk´s lack of texture methods.   It seems that none of the objects can read in a simple BMP file and paint it onto
  a PolyData set. 

  So I wrote the BMP file reader, now I am trying to visualize my data
   (3D vertex points of faces, each face with a texture map), and I´m trying to 
  convert the byte RGB values to floats [0,1], (so that I can set the scalar values of the vetrices to the new float colour values), but it doesn´t work, 
  the colours come out all funny.     I have set the SetNumberofComponents of the FloatArray scalar set to 3, and have initialized it with the correct number of tuples...

  Thakns
  Markus
