ReadLegacyUnstructuredGrid

Repository source: ReadLegacyUnstructuredGrid

Description

This example displays a vtkUnstructuredGrid that contains eleven linear cells. We use a number of techniques to visualize the cells.

  1. vtkUnstructuredGridReader reads in the file src/Testing/Data/VTKCellTypes.vtk.
  2. vtkExtractEdges extracts the edges of the 2 and 3 dimensional cells. vtkTubeFilter wraps each edge with tubes.
  3. vtkGlyph3DMapper displays each point as a vtkSphere.
  4. vtkShrinkFilter highlights the cell faces by pulling them in towards their centroid.
  5. vtkLabeledDataMapper shows the point ids.
  6. vtkProperty::EdgeVisibilityOn() shows the edges of the cells after shrinking.
  7. vtkCellData colors each cell with a different color.

The example also shows how to add a vtkCategoryLegend to a visualization. The vtkCategoryLegend has a vtkLookupTable that must be Indexed for categorical data. Since the vtkDataSetMapper for the geometry uses the lookup table to color each cell, we use vtkLookupTable::DeepCopy to copy the input vtkLookupTable and apply vtkLookupTable::IndexedLookupOn().

The sample file is taken from the VTKFileFormats document.
