Hi,
I tried to do what you talked about, because I need isotropic volumes
for a number of algorithms. I think it is the same for you, right?
I wrote an xml file that you can load in the plugin manager menu,
according to this wiki page:
http://paraview.org/Wiki/Plugin_HowTo#Enabling_a_filter_in_VTK
The problem is that the VTK filter seems not to be paraview-compliant:
it didn't work, but unfortunately I didn't have time to describe the
bugs. I joint the xml file, so that you can try and please tell me if
it works for you -then I may guess it is because of my settings...-.
In a nutshell, here are my problems for a volume of spacing 0.5x0.5x1
that I want to be 0.5x0.5x0.5 ie magnification factor = 0.5 on axis z
(= 2)
- The filter updates, but the extent does not change in the output
- When representation of input is 'Slice', the output dimensionality is 2 !!!
I hope someone could find the mistake, wherever it comes (my xml,
paraview, or VTK)
I also write a Cxx class that inherites from vtkImageResample and
computes automatically the magnification factor depending on a
user-chosen reference axis (in my example, x or y). Today, I use an
independent executable that converts an input mhd file into an
isotropic volume, and then I open it in paraview. I would be glad if
this step is part of a paraview pipeline, but my inherited class has
the same behaviour than vtkImageResample (and I think that when I
tried with the parent class vtkImageReslice, the same problem
occured...).
