[vtkusers] Scaling with VtkTransform and VtkLookupTable

[Schober Beatrix [STEMMER IMAGING GmbH]]

Hi David,

I do have x, y and z values (e.g. as txt file or as a grayscale image):


vtkPoints = vtkSmartPointer<vtkPoints>::New();

vtkCells = vtkSmartPointer<vtkCellArray>::New();

vtkDepths = vtkSmartPointer<vtkDoubleArray>::New();



void addPoint(double x, double y, double z)

{

  vtkIdType id = vtkPoints->InsertNextPoint(x, y, z);

  vtkDepths->InsertNextValue(z);

  vtkCells->InsertNextCell(1);

  vtkCells->InsertCellPoint(id);



  vtkCells->Modified();

  vtkPoints->Modified();

  vtkDepths->Modified();

}


vtkDepths->SetName("DepthArray");
vtkPolyData->SetPoints(m_vtkPoints);
vtkPolyData->SetVerts(m_vtkCells);
vtkPolyData->GetPointData()->SetScalars(m_vtkDepths);
vtkPolyData->GetPointData()->SetActiveScalars("DepthArray");

Regards,

Bea

Hi Bea,

There is something missing from your explanation: how are you setting the scalars for your points?  The lookup table maps scalars to colors, and scalars are not changed by vtkTransformFilter.

Good morning!

I am a bit confused about following behaviour. I tried to find an answer / solution, but spent already more than a day with that. Maybe the behaviour is correct, I just misunderstand it?

I have a point cloud (VtkPolyData), using a VtkTransform Filter to scale the z-values. As I want the points to be displayed colored, I use the vtkLookupTable as well as the ScalarBarWidget to display the lookup table.
Before scaling my z-range is 98 – 255, after scaling (2*) the range is 196 – 510.

If I do not change the VtkLookupTable’s table range (it is still 98 – 255), the colors are mapped correctly from 196 to 510. If I change the table range to 196 – 510 and the mapper’s scalar range to 196 – 510, in order to get a correct valued ScalarBarWidget (range 196 – 510), only colors from 196 to 255 are mapped, everything else not. (The picker shows the correctly scaled point data.)

My questions: Why is the mapping wrong if I update the scalar range / lookup table range? How can I achieve a correctly scaled ScalarBarWidget (196 – 510)?

Thank you very much in advance for your support!

Bea
