Disk

VTKEx/Cxx/GeometricObjects/Disk

Description

vtkDiskSource objects creates a polygonal disk with a hole in the center.

The disk has zero height. The user can specify the inner and outer radius of the disk, and the radial and circumferential resolution of the polygonal representation.

Download and Build Disk

Click here to download Disk and its CMakeLists.txt file. Once the tarball Disk.tar has been downloaded and extracted,

cd Disk/build

If VTK is installed:

cmake ..

If VTK is not installed but compiled on your system, you will need to specify the path to your VTK build:

cmake -DVTK_DIR:PATH=/home/me/vtk_build ..

Build the project:

make

and run it:

./Disk

WINDOWS USERS

Be sure to add the VTK bin directory to your path. This will resolve the VTK dll's at run time.
