[vtkusers] vtkPolydata contour to image

[Sara Rolfe]

Hello,

In case it helps to see what I did, I am including the code below.   
However, I suspect this is not the best approach.

Thanks,
Sara

	// Draw contours around the segmented regions
     	vtkSmartPointer<vtkContourFilter> contour =  
vtkSmartPointer<vtkContourFilter>::New();
     	contour->SetInput( vtkImporter->GetOutput() );
     	contour->SetValue(0, 128); // edges of a binary image with  
values 0,255
	contour->Update();
	
	// get list of points from polydata
	vtkPolyData * polyData = contour->GetOutput();
	const unsigned int numberOfPoints = polyData->GetNumberOfCells();
	cout << "Numbers of points: " << numberOfPoints << endl;
	vtkPoints * vtkpoints = polyData->GetCells();

	
	//allocate itk image to be used as a property mask for later region  
merging
	MaskImageType::Pointer propertyMask = MaskImageType::New();	
	propertyMask->SetRegions( inputImage->GetLargestPossibleRegion() );
	propertyMask->SetOrigin( inputImage->GetOrigin() );
	propertyMask->SetSpacing( inputImage->GetSpacing() );
	propertyMask->SetDirection( inputImage->GetDirection() );
	propertyMask->Allocate();
	
	// iterate through image
	double defpoint[3];
	MaskImageType::IndexType index;
	MaskImageType::SpacingType spacing = inputImage->GetSpacing();	
	
	for(unsigned int p =0; p < numberOfPoints; p++)
     {
		vtkpoints->GetCell( p, defpoint );				// get point in polydata mesh  
of surface
		
		index[0] = defpoint[0]/spacing[0];				// convert polydata index to  
field index
		index[1] = defpoint[1]/spacing[1];
		index[2] = defpoint[2]/spacing[2];
		
		propertyMask->SetPixel( index, 255 );
	}
