[vtkusers] vtkAppendPolyData()..

[Rakesh Patil]

 You mean to say vtkStripper will return an output with a single cell..??ThanksRegardsRakesh Patil Original message From:David Gobbi< david.gobbi at gmail.com >Date: 02 Mar 10 11:25:08Subject:Re: [vtkusers] vtkAppendPolyData()..To: Rakesh Patil My only guess is that your data set might have duplicate points, orperhaps there are other factors which might result in degenerate (i.e.microthin) triangles prior to the contouring.Any duplicate pointsor degenerate triangles prior to the contouring will make it producelines where the adjacent segments don't actually share a point,because that point is actually two points that are almost exactly ontop of one another.As a result, vtkStripper won't be able to do itsjob.You can remove duplicated points with vtkCleanPolyData.Anywhere inthe pipeline before vtkStripper should work, but just beforevtkContourFilter might be best.DavidOn Mon, Mar 1, 2010 at 9:50 PM, Rakesh Patilwrote:> Well,>> Here I'm attaching a screenshot.
