[vtkusers] PolyData rendering problem

[Frank Gao]

They are not that small. Typically maybe 0.1mm. I am working with models
from dental scans. A full mouth, maybe 7-20MB STL file size.

 

Thanks,

Frank

What is the world space size of the triangles? Are they small enough to push
the limits of GL float precision?

Hi All,

 

We are having some problems with the surface rendering in VTK. If the users
don't set their graphics card preference to "Quality", the surface rendering
will show a lot of "ghost" lines between the triangles, but they are not the
polydata edges. Completely display artifact. When the triangles are small,
this is much more obvious. I places a picture in the following link. The
left one has problem. The right one is when preference is set to "quality".

Because of this we have to tell the users to change their graphics card
setting. Is this something we can do in the code? Thanks a lot in advance.

 

Regards,

Frank Gao
