SignedDistance
VTKEx/Cxx/Points/SignedDistance
Description¶
Contrast this with the UnsignedDistance example.
The image was created using the Armadillo dataset
Warning
The classes used in this example require vtk 7.1 or later.
Question
If you have a simple question about this example contact us at VTKExProject If your question is more complex and may require extended discussion, please use the VTK Discourse Forum

Download and Build SignedDistance¶
Click here to download SignedDistance and its CMakeLists.txt file. Once the tarball SignedDistance.tar has been downloaded and extracted,
cd SignedDistance/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:
./SignedDistance
WINDOWS USERS
Be sure to add the VTK bin directory to your path. This will resolve the VTK dll's at run time.
