[vtkusers] Transparency in VTK

[John Eke]

Look in the VTK API for a class called vtkProperty. vtkProperty::SetOpacity is what you want. Most actors have a get property method. So you can do:

actor->GetProperty()->SetOpacity (0.5);

That will give you exactly what you need

Subject: [vtkusers] Transparency in VTK

Is there any way in VTK that we can change or set the transparency factor?! Let say we have an object that is is visualized (a surface) and we want to change the transparency factor to 50% or change it so it will become see through (Not wire frame or anything! ) just see through!
