Hi everyone,
I have a question about changing/editing the orientation and
origin information about an input file. Basically, the problem
is this: I have a 3D volume (originally voxel data) file that
contains statistics on its surface that I want to display
color-coded. I can create a nice smoothed version of the
surface using a different piece of software (ITK-SNAP), and this
is the surface I'd like to use to display my stats (Paraview
does not allow you to smooth the surface in the same way that
ITK-SNAP does, eliminating the stair-step surface artifacts). I
can indeed read both the stats file and the surface file from
ITK-SNAP into Paraview, but unfortunately they now have
different origins. That is, they don't overlap (the bounding box
for the stats is completely outside the surface model that
ITK-SNAP created.
Originally, both files had the same orientation and origin:
ITK-SNAP used the same file to create the beautiful surface that
the stats were created with.
So Paraview apparently does not read the header info the same
way for the two types of files, even though ITK-SNAP does.
Is there a way to change the origin and/or orientation of
files in Paraview? I'm assuming there is a simple transform I
could figure out by trial and error to get them to overlap
again, but I don't know how or where I would do this.
Thanks for any suggestions!
-Tom
