[vtkusers] [Insight-users] Get the selection point in screen (pixel) coordinates

[Xiaopeng Yang]

Index looks like world coordinates, but always is positive. For example, for a point of world coordinates (-143.2, -277.5, 1407.9), its index is (169, 230, 34). The index you mentioned is a int type. So I think we are talking about two different things.

You should be able to get the index from the world coordinate by using FindCell:

  int subId;
  double pcoords[3];
  int index = image->FindCell(p, NULL, 0, 0.0, subId, pcoords, NULL);

As you can see, the interface is terribly awkard. I though I had
pushed a patch to allow simply:
  int index = image->FindCell(p);

but I guess I did not. I will start the review process on that patch tomorrow.

Does this do what you're looking for?
