[vtkusers] vtkAppendPolyData RemoveInputData leads to 0 connections

[Schober Beatrix [STEMMER IMAGING GmbH]]

Hi Bill,

thank you very much, but I forgot to mention, that the last vtkPolyData is not removed then.

Sorry for this missing piece of information.

If you are concerned about seeing the error message, you can catch it.

Hi,

it seems to be an easy issue, but I don’t get the solution. I am appending multiple vtkPolyData to vtkAppendPolyData:

vtkSmartPointer<vtkAppendPolyData> appendFilter = vtkSmartPointer<vtkAppendPolyData>::New();
appendFilter->AddInputData(polyData1);
appendFilter->AddInputData(polyData2);

In another functions I want to hide / show those polydata:

Function to hide:
appendFilter->RemoveInputData(polyDataX);
appendFilter->Update();

Function to show:
appendFilter->AddInputData(polyDataX);
appendFilter->Update();

This works fine, unless I have only one polydata in the vtkAppendPolyData filter. If I hide (see Function to hide) this last polydata I get following error after appendFilter->Update():
Input port 0 of algorithm vtkAppendPolyData has 0 connections.

The error message is clear, but how would you solve this? Is there a better way to do that?

Thank you very much in advance!

Sincerely,

Bea
