ReadSLC
Repository source: ReadSLC
Description¶
In this example you will familiarize yourself with the stages required to read a .slc file and create a visualization pipeline in VTK. Following is the three step procedure:
-
Read the data from .slc file using vtkSLCReader
-
Implement Marching cubes Algorithm using vtkContourFilter
-
Create Visualization pipeline to visualize data using an actor, mapper and rendering window
