Hey,
I'm working on a project where i need to compute the normals of a mesh
at each point. (and not at each cell)
So i read my mesh from a meta file and then i convert it to a
vtkPolyData structure.
Once i have this vtkPolyData structure and use the vtkPolyDataNormals
filter to compute the normals as follow:
vtkPolyDataNormals *MeshNormals = vtkPolyDataNormals::New();
MeshNormals->SetComputePointNormals(1);
MeshNormals->SetInput(vtkMesh);
vtkPolyData * vtkMeshNormals = MeshNormals->GetOutput();
Is there something wrong in the previous lines?
I would like to know how to have acces to the normal vector values
themselves (X,Y,Z) and the index?
Thanks for you help.
Sylvain
