[vtkusers] Reading independent Data into VTK

[Ryan Bloor]

Hi

 

Firstly, thanks for replying. 
 

The files are probably from at least version 7, though I am unaware of the exact number. They are Matlab files, yes. Does VTK support .mat files? 

 

My end goal is to visualise a heart in 3D using these .mat files as input. But as a simple test; displaying a 2D image of a particular slice would be great. I have managed it in matlab but the problem of input and conversion in VTK is holding me back and frustrating me. 

 

Any ideas?

 

Regards,

 

Ryan
