[vtkusers] Edge size.

[Meehan, Bernard]

Hi Marco - have you looked at these classes?:

http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples/Cxx/PolyData/ImplicitModeller
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples/Cxx/PolyData/ImplicitPolyDataDistance
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples/Cxx/PolyData/ImplicitDataSetClipping

In this python code, I was using the vtkImplicitPolyDataDistance object to
find an isosurface that was a given distance away from the surface of a
cone, and I then cut it to show a cross-section of the surface. I'm not
sure what sort of offset surface you were looking to make, but this might
do the trick for you:

from vtk import *

cone = vtkConeSource()
cone.SetResolution(100)
cone.Update()
# You have to call update before the bounds of the object are valid. I am
# increasing the bounds of the object by a fixed percentage in order to
get a
# volume that is larger than just the simple bounds of the object.
bounds = list(1.2*s for s in cone.GetOutputDataObject(0).GetBounds())

# I also want the sample dimensions to be chosen such that the "voxels"
will be
# pretty much cubic.
dx = bounds[1] - bounds[0]
dy = bounds[3] - bounds[2]
dz = bounds[5] - bounds[4]

# I want to subdivide the minimum dimension into 20 parts, and the others
# relative to this.
s = min(dx, dy, dz)
delta = s/20.

# Given this minimum sample size, you can pick the correct number of x, y,
and
# z samples for the vtkSampleFunction.
Nx, Ny, Nz = [int(s/delta) for s in (dx, dy, dz)]

# This gives a field of minimum distances to the input vtkPolyData object.
ipd = vtkImplicitPolyDataDistance()
ipd.SetInput(cone.GetOutputDataObject(0))

sample = vtk.vtkSampleFunction()
sample.SetSampleDimensions(Nx, Ny, Nz)
sample.SetImplicitFunction(ipd)
sample.SetModelBounds(*bounds)
sample.Update()

contour = vtk.vtkContourFilter()
contour.SetInputConnection(sample.GetOutputPort())
contour.SetValue(0, 0.1)
contour.Update()

cutter_plane = vtk.vtkPlane()
cutter_plane.SetOrigin(*cone.GetOutputDataObject(0).GetCenter())
cutter_plane.SetNormal(0., 0., 1.)

cutter = vtk.vtkCutter()
cutter.SetCutFunction(cutter_plane)
cutter.SetInputConnection(contour.GetOutputPort())
cutter.Update()

stripper = vtk.vtkStripper()
stripper.SetInputConnection(cutter.GetOutputPort())
stripper.Update()

mapper = vtk.vtkPolyDataMapper()
# mapper.SetInputConnection(contour.GetOutputPort())
# mapper.SetInputConnection(cutter.GetOutputPort())
mapper.SetInputConnection(stripper.GetOutputPort())
mapper.ScalarVisibilityOff()

cone_mapper = vtk.vtkPolyDataMapper()
cone_mapper.SetInputConnection(cone.GetOutputPort())

actor = vtk.vtkActor()
actor.SetMapper(mapper)
# actor.GetProperty().SetColor(0.5, 0.2, 1.0)
# actor.GetProperty().SetOpacity(0.2)

cone_actor = vtk.vtkActor()
cone_actor.SetMapper(cone_mapper)
cone_actor.GetProperty().SetOpacity(0.5)

ren = vtk.vtkRenderer()
ren.AddActor(actor)
ren.AddActor(cone_actor)
ren.SetBackground(.2, .3, .4)

renw = vtk.vtkRenderWindow()
renw.AddRenderer(ren)

iren = vtk.vtkRenderWindowInteractor()
iren.SetRenderWindow(renw)

ren.ResetCamera()
renw.Render()
iren.Start()
