Hello!

I am studying the Threshold Filter to dive more into the mechanics of filtering and I just want to make sure I got the meaning of points and cells right, especially when I have a structured grid volume as input.

Such input comes with some typical raw volume file which consists of, lets say, 512x512x128 voxels all of them having some value.

Is it that this value is actually stored in a vtkPoints list that contains uniformly distributed points in the volume? And a vtkCell in this case gets the same value as the point because it contains only this single point in its center? ( with value I mean what you get from GetComponent(id,c) )

So if I had some arbitrary (non-structured) input, a cell's value would be the average of all points lying inside the cell and changing the cell layout, i.e. making all cells bigger would accordingly change the cell-point relationship and thus the cells value?


Best regards,
Christian
