[vtkusers] [Fwd: raw slices - single file - visualize problem]

[Christos Panagiotou]

guys 

i have a volume of brain slices stored in one single file (.raw)
the file comes from kitware from the following url:

ftp://public.kitware.com/pub/itk/Data/BrainWeb

the dimensions of the file are said to be xyz: 181 217 180

i try to visualize the file by the following code: 

 const char *fname = "/home/christos/PhD/Data/raw/Brain1/Brain/brainweb1e1a10f20.raw";

 vtkImageReader2 *v = vtkImageReader2::New();

   v->SetDataExtent(1,181,1,217,1,180);

   v->SetSwapBytes(2);

   v->SetDataScalarTypeToShort();

   v->SetFileName(fname);

   v->SetFileDimensionality(3);

   v->SetDataSpacing (1.0,1.0,1.0);

   v->DebugOn();

   v->Update();



which later on i pass v -> contour filter -> polydatanormals -> 
polydatamapper -> actor  -> renderer -> window ...

If run the above code what i get is an error saying:
File operation failed. row = -126, Read = 352, FilePos = -1

If i run the same example with data extent of (1,181,1,217,1,50) - i just reduced the number of slices i see of course a part of the volume.
(the weird thing is that i see 4 identical volumes in the window, each one taking a small part of the window)

so i have 2 problems... how to visualize the whole volume and how to have only one instance in the window!

(the volume is signed short)


thanks in advance for your time

p.s. i give you the full code incase it helps:
