[vtkusers] Extent / Pipeline Problem with vtk 6.1

[Frese Daniel Dr.]

Hi Goodwin,

thank you for your feedback. I’ll try again with a more recent snapshot, and if the problem persists, I’ll file a bug.

Hi Daniel,

On quick inspection this looks like a bug in vtkImageMapToColors not handling the output info. You could file a bug here: http://vtk.org/Bug

Hi everybody,

After porting a working application from vtk 5.x to vtk 6.1, I ran into some problems that I can’t solve by myself. Based on the error messages, I think though, it originates in the modified pipeline behavior of vtk 6.1 (admittedly I use an already aged snapshot from November 2013).

I tried to assemble a more or less minimal example to illustrate the problem. Basically I use the pipeline
vtkImageCanvasSource2D -> vtkImageMapToColors -> vtkImageViewer2.
If I visualize the canvas, without passing through the vtkImageMapToColors filter, everything works fine. If I pass through the vtkImageMapToColors filter, I get a blank render window and the error message :
“vtkTrivialProducer (00F15A08) : This data object does not contain the requested extent.”

I printed out the vtkInformation objects of the canvas’ output port and the the vtkImageMapToColors’ input port, and both outputs showed the correct extents for WHOLE_EXTENT and UPDATE_EXTENT, but wrong values for COMBINED_UPDATE_EXTENT. Moreover, canvas->GetOutput()->Print() gives also the right extents, whereas the output of the the vtkImageMapToColors shows that basically no meta information has been transmitted.

The complete code is below. Does anybody have a clue, what I am missing here ?

Thank you,
Daniel
