[vtkusers] show celldata on vtkImagePlaneWidget

[Putte, T.B. (Tom) van der]

Hi Dean,

Thanks, I tried this, but the problem is that I'm trying to display discrete scalar data. So converting cell data to points will actually change values (throught the vtkCellDataToPointData interpolation), as well as shift the image 0.5 x spacing distance in all directions.

Suppose I would really want to display the celldata as accurately as possible on an intersection plane (perhaps even with the (intersection of the) mesh displayed to make the boundaries between cells more clear), is it even possible to use the ImagePlaneWidget? Or should I use the implicit plane widget? Or make something entirely from scratch?

Thanks again,
Tom

Hi Tom,

you are doing the right thing by converting cell data to point data in this 
case.  You could try
setting the interpolation to nearest neighbor and turning interpolation off:

iPlaneWidgetX.SetResliceInterpolateToNearestNeighbour();
iPlaneWidgetX.TextureInterpolateOff();

Hi,

Using Activiz, I'm trying to display imagedata (CELLDATA, not pointdata) on 
a vtkImagePlaneWidget, just as simple gridcells like this: 
(https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/SYdgbXrXm-4SRfVHCufBLfK3gj7O8KOK36SDLJLIWK8?feat=directlink) 
but it doesn't show anything. What I try is this:

  vtkXMLImageDataReader reader = vtkXMLImageDataReader.New();
  reader.SetFileName(imgFileNameTotal);
  reader.SetCellArrayStatus("CellData", 1); //only celldata
  reader.SetPointArrayStatus("Scalars_", 0); //no pointdata
  reader.Update();

  //Create ImagePlaneWidget
  vtkImagePlaneWidget iPlaneWidgetX = new vtkImagePlaneWidget();
  iPlaneWidgetX.SetInput(reader.GetOutput());
  iPlaneWidgetX.SetPlaneOrientationToXAxes();
  iPlaneWidgetX.SetSliceIndex(10);

  //Rendering, Camera & interactors
  vtkRenderer ren1 = 
renderWindowControl1.RenderWindow.GetRenderers().GetFirstRenderer();
  vtkRenderWindow renWin = renderWindowControl1.RenderWindow;
  vtkRenderWindowInteractor interActor = renWin.GetInteractor();

  vtkInteractorStyleTrackballCamera style = new
  vtkInteractorStyleTrackballCamera();

  interActor.SetInteractorStyle(style);
  iPlaneWidgetX.SetInteractor(interActor);
  iPlaneWidgetX.On();

  renWin.SetSize(500, 500);
  renWin.Render();

However, when I add this

  vtkCellDataToPointData pointData = new vtkCellDataToPointData();
  pointData.SetInput( reader.GetOutput());

and change the iPlaneWidget's input:
  iPlaneWidgetX.SetInput(pointData.GetOutput());

It does show the data, but as interpolated pointdata, which is not what I 
want.

Is the imagePlaneWidget unable to display celldata, and should I tackle this 
a different way?

Cheers,
Tom
