StreamlinesWithLineWidget
VTKExamples/Python/VisualizationAlgorithms/StreamlinesWithLineWidget
Description¶
Produce streamlines in the combustor dataset.¶
This example demonstrates how to use the vtkLineWidget to seed and manipulate streamlines. Two line widgets are created. The first is invoked by pressing 'i', the second by pressing 'L' (capital). Both can exist together.
If the fourth parameter is non-zero, it is used to generate an image with streamlines: 1) The third parameter value is changed to 25. 2) The camera position and first line widget are positioned differently. 3) The streamlines are displayed running from the first line widget. 4) The second line widget is still available.
In the C++ version, note how we handle callbacks by first implementing a class, then instantiating it and then passing references to the needed variables to it. Finally we add it as an observer.
For the Python version we define a class passing the needed variables in the __init__ function and then implementing a _call__ function that does the work.
