[vtkusers] Find point by coordiante

[Boehm, Lukas]

Thank you both for your answers!

 

FindPoint works perfect with vtkPolyData, but now I think I can't use
vtkPolyData. Instead I probably have to use vtkImageData. 

 

My VTK pipeline looks like this:

 

1.)   Create vtkImageData with all points

2.)   Use vtkMarchingSquares filter to get vtkPolyData representing some
iso lines

3.)   Some unimportant clipping stuff...

 

If I use the vtkPolyData object from vtkMarchingSquares I get values
which make sense. But it seems like marching squares removes all points
where no iso lines are drawn. I only find ids of points which are on the
iso lines. 

 

So my idea was to use vtkImageData. But not even the simpliest example
works with vtkImageData and FindPoint:

 

double[] pos = imageData.GetPoint(200);

// pos contains 18.0, -29.0, 0.0 which seems to be correct

int id = imageData.FindPoint(pos[0], pos[1], pos[2]);

 

I would expect 'id' to have the value 200. But it always has the value
-1. The documentation says that a return value < 0 means that the point
can't be found (maybe it's outside of the vtkImageData object). Could
somebody please tell me why FindPoint always returns -1?

 

Thank you,

Lukas

I think this will work!..

The doc says "find the closes point to the coordinates provided as
arguiment"

You need a point locator.
