[vtkusers] Re: reading a stack of bmp files

[Veerapuram Varadhan]

Hi,

vtkActor doesn't have a SetInput method.  My apologies...

As Mathieu said you can use vtkImageViewer2 or vtkImageViewer directly for
a simple rendering or you can use vtkVolume and vtkVolumeMapper or just
the vtkImageActor.

vtkImageActor* imageActor = vtkImageActor::New();
imageActor->SetInput(bmp_d->GetOutput());

If you want to use vtkVolume and vtkVolumeMapper,

vtkVolumeMapper* volmapper = vtkVolumentMapper::New();
vtkVolume* volume = vtkVolume::New();
volmapper->SetInput (bmp_d->GetOutput());
volume->SetMapper (volmapper);

HTH,

V. Varadhan.
