[vtkusers] Computational Geometry - user equations?

I did that Andrew, in fact I deleted everything except the source files and CMakeLists.txt.

I've been holding off from updating my VTK, because I don't want to break running programs.  How easy is the migration from 5 to 6?

It's a long while since I have used VTK 5.10. Try deleting your cmake cache file, then run cmake again and rebuild.

Thanks for your help, Andrew.
I did this:
#find_package(VTK COMPONENTS
#  vtkCommonColor
#  vtkCommonCore
#  vtkFiltersHybrid
#  vtkFiltersSources
#  vtkIOImage
#  vtkInteractionStyle
#  vtkRenderingOpenGL
#)
find_package(VTK REQUIRED)
but unfortunately the list of errors looks much the same.

Cheers

VT6 is modular in contrast to VTK 5 so I would replace the section in the CMakeLists.txt file dealing with including  the modules with something like this:

find_package(VTK REQUIRED)
include(${VTK_USE_FILE})

I hope this helps.

vtkNamedColors was introduced in VTK 6. For VTK 5 you will have to specify colours using RGB values.

e.g something like:
unsigned char red[3] = {255, 0, 0};
  actor->GetProperty()->SetColor(red[0], red[1], red[2]);

Hi Piers, Andrew, Cory,

This does not build with VTK 5.10 (no vtkNamedColors.h).  Is there a version that works with 5.10?

Thanks

Andrew, Cory,

Thanks for the attachment - as a non-coder it bridged the gap between the PDF that I've seen before and what actually needed to be done.

I've attached my trefoil knot code in a zip. The partial derivatives make a big difference to shadows.

I'm on Arch Linux with VTK 6.1.0, and the only change I needed to make to get the example to build was to the CMakeLists.txt - so it picks up OpenGL rather than OpenGL2.

I'm pleased that this works, but the output surface is rather jagged when compared to what I get with MathMod. Any ideas?

For the VTK user list, the zipped files I mention are here:

https://github.com/logicmonkey/curves/tree/master/vtk/TrefoilKnot

( unzip/git pull; cd TrefoilKnot; mkdir build; cd build; cmake ..; make; ./bin/TrefoilKnot )

Thanks again for your help.

If I understand you correctly, then the approach described in http://www.vtk.org/img/ParametricSurfaces.pdfin " How to create your own surface" should work for you. If you adopt this approach, you just build using the library and you do not need to modify the VTK library.

I attach  a VTK 6.3+ version of the example for you to try out.

I'll add this to the VTK examples sometime next week.

Once you get a surface you might like to look at:
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples/Cxx/Visualization/ElevationBandsWithGlyphs
and
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples/Cxx/Visualization/CurvatureBandsWithGlyphs
for some visualisation ideas.

Hi All,

I'd like to specify a surface f(u,v) in 3D with my own parametric equation system {x(u,v), y(u,v), z(u,v)}. And then visualize it.

The only way I can see to do this is to add my function to the library source code, build the library and then call my function as described here:

http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples/Cxx/GeometricObjects/ParametricObjectsDemo#CMakeLists.txt

Yep, that looks like a good way to go.

I'm using vtkParametricTorus[.h, .cxx] as a template, but is there an easier and more direct way to do this?

You can define your subclass of vtkParametricFunction in your local project - no need to add it to VTK, which is what I think you were saying above.

Were you looking for a vtkParametricFunction subclass that takes an expression for x(u,v), etc.? That doesn't exist as far as I know, but that would be cool to have.

Cory

Thanks!
