[vtkusers] World orientation indicator using a torso

[Barth, Sebastian]

Hi Rashed,

You could try a 3D file reader like vtkSTLReader which can be used to load STL files exported by a CAD application into VTK.

Betreff: [vtkusers] World orientation indicator using a torso


Hi all, 

I need to display the orientation of my vtk images as it is interacted by
the user. In medical visualizations this is, ofcourse, commonly accomplished
using the model of a torso (see attached pic.). How can I display a torso in
VTK?

Thanks, 

Rashed.
