Hello,
i'm just beginning to work with VTK and i don't know which data type is
most suitable for the problem.
The raw input data are basically two data vectors (parameters).
Making the xy-plot is no problem :)
But now the problem arrives:
I want to create a 3D density plot. First i have to discretize the data.
The result of that is a sort of 3D histogram.
In matlab it is easy. I create a zero matrix. Then i round the input
values. On the element with the position (x,y) i increment the matrix
element by a constant value (1).
The result of this is a density matrix. surf() gives then a nice color
mapped density surface.
I don't know how to achieve this in VTK. :(
Which data set is most appropriate for that purpose? Structured Points?
Rectlinear grid?
Example code would be great.
Please help!
Thanks in advance,
Marc
