[vtkusers] vtkClipPolyData with vtkBox doesn't work

[Adeline Joliet]

Hello Eric,

Thank's for the answer.

"So, are you seeing nothing when you render your scene?"
Actually no, nothing appends my Polydata is not "cuted" it's exactly the same size

Then I tried InsideOutOn() and now nothing is dislplayed.

I don't know where I can be wrong.. I will try again to set the bounds manually, but not sure that's the problem..


By the way I also tried to use vtkExtractPolyDataGeometry that worked quit the same but it's exactly what I need..

            
                vtkExtractPolyDataGeometry * clipper2 = vtkExtractPolyDataGeometry::New();

                clipper2->SetInput(myPolyData);
                clipper2->SetImplicitFunction(myCube);
                clipper2->SetExtractInside(1);
                clipper2->Update();


Nothing is displayed...

Regards,
Adeline

Hello Adeline,
So, are you seeing nothing when you render your scene? One thing to be careful of when using a box for your clip function is which direction the default normals of the box faces point -- this defines whether the clip leaves the inside intact or cuts out the inside of the box. Maybe this isn't the problem you're having, but you could try setting 
clipper->InsideOutOn();
and see if anything shows up.
Otherwise, there are examples of clipping with the vtkBoxWidget and it's GetPlanes method in {vtksource}/Widgets/Testing/Cxx/BoxWidget.cxx and {vtksource}/Examples/GUI/Python/BoxWidget.py in case those could help you track down the problem or approach it in another way. 
Talk to you later,-Eric

I'm trying to cut un polydata using vtkClipPolyData with a vtkBox as implicit function.

my Polydata is simply a rectangle (x = 100, y = 50, z= 20). I'd like to cut this rectangle to obtain
only the part of the middle.. (so i'd like to cut to a right side AND a left side...)

here is the code

 vtkBox * cuting = vtkBox::New();
  double boundy[6];

  //m_image is a vtkImageData that represent a cube (my rectangle polydata interect this cube, so the bounds should be correct...)
  m_image->GetBounds(boundy);

  cuting->SetBounds(boundy);
 
vtkClipPolyData * clipper = vtkClipPolyData::New();
clipper->SetInput(newPolyData);
clipper->SetClipFunction(cuting);

// and then I display clipper->GetOutput...

the thing is that i tried with vtkPlane and it works... but the problem is that i need if a use
vtkPlane I can cut only One side....


any help would be appreciated,
Than's

Adeline
