PolyDataConnectivityFilter SpecifiedRegion

VTKExamples/Cxx/PolyData/PolyDataConnectivityFilter_SpecifiedRegion

Description

This example creates two spheres and combines them together into one polydata. The vtkPolyDataConnectivityFilter is used to find the two spheres as they are separate regions (disconnected). If region 0 is selected, the small sphere is extracted. If region 1 is selected, the large sphere is extracted.

The original vtkPolyData is red, on top. The extracted region is yellow, on the bottom.

Note

Contrast this with PolyDataConnectivityFilter_LargestRegion.

Download and Build PolyDataConnectivityFilter_SpecifiedRegion

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

cd PolyDataConnectivityFilter_SpecifiedRegion/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:

./PolyDataConnectivityFilter_SpecifiedRegion
