[vtkusers] Re: [Insight-users] How to convert the result of a Surface extraction Filter(meshSource) to vtkUnstructuredGrid to visualize it?

[charfeddine amir]

Hi all
 I didn't find that filter (ITKmeshToVTKPolyData), so i tried to use the MeshToUnstructuredGrid(floatMesh* mesh) method i found in InsightApplications/Auxiliary/vtk/vtk2itk.cxx file.
 the problem is that the surface extraction filter produces a MeshSource, although the MeshToUnstructuredGrid(..) method takes Mesh.
 so how can i convert from Meshsource to Mesh, or what should i pass to that method?
 thx for help
 
Karthik Krishnan <Karthik.Krishnan at kitware.com> a écrit : There is an ITKmeshToVTKPolyData filter in 
InsightApplications/Auxillary. If you search InsightApplications, I 
think there are a couple of applications that use the filter.
