[vtkusers] triangulating a cylinder

[debbie larson]

Hi,

I am now using vtkCylinderSource to build the cylinder. The problem is that 
I want to build several cylinders with different radii and located at 
different positions. Do I assign one actor for each cylinder? How exactly I 
specify the center of each cylinder? (The code below doesnt seem to work)
Here it is my current code (which is not working; it only displays one 
cylinder)
Thanks

vtkCylinderSource* cylinder=vtkCylinderSource::New();

  vtkPolyDataMapper *icylinderMapper = vtkPolyDataMapper::New();

  vtkActor *icylinderActor = vtkActor::New();

  icylinderActor->GetProperty()->SetColor(1.0000, 0.3882, 0.2784);//RGB 
color
  icylinderActor->RotateX(30.0);
  icylinderActor->RotateY(-45.0);
  vtkRenderer *ren1 = vtkRenderer::New();
  vtkRenderWindow *renWin = vtkRenderWindow::New();
  renWin->AddRenderer(ren1);
  vtkRenderWindowInteractor *iren = vtkRenderWindowInteractor::New();
  iren->SetRenderWindow(renWin);

  ren1->SetBackground(0.1, 0.2, 0.4);
  renWin->SetSize(500, 500);

  for (int i=0;i<num_cylinders;i++)
    {
       float oradius=tdplane.getradius(i);
      //Get the position of the center of the cylinder
      float position[2]=tdplane.getposition();
      float center_positionx=position[0];
      float center_positiony=position[1];


      cylinder->SetHeight(cylinder_height);
      cylinder->SetRadius(iradius);
      cylinder->SetCenter(center_positionx,0,center_positiony);
      cylinder->CappingOff();
      cylinder->SetResolution(8);


      icylinderMapper->SetInputConnection(cylinder->GetOutputPort());

      icylinderActor->SetMapper(icylinderMapper);


      //Add the actors to the renderer
      ren1->AddActor(icylinderActor);

    }


  ren1->ResetCamera();
  ren1->GetActiveCamera()->Zoom(1.0);
  renWin->Render();

  iren->Start();

  cylinder->Delete();

  icylinderMapper->Delete();

  icylinderActor->Delete();

  ren1->Delete();
  renWin->Delete();
  iren->Delete();
}
