Please read The VTK User's Guide. In particular, Chapter 12 talks about the structure, implementation, and interface of VTK data objects. It should clear up lots of your questions. http://www.kitware.com/products/books/vtkguide.html The Threshold filter converts the data from a structured

Not sure if this is the appropriate thread: What happens in parallel if a connectivity array for a given cell has point id's that are off-processor? Suppose: * processor P0 owns points x1, x2, x3 -- numCells = 3; cell c1(x1) connectivity = {x2, x8} * processor P1 owns point x4,

In a 3D structured grid, there is the concept of points and cells and VTK does in fact differentiate the two. In particular, 8 points make up a hexahedral-shaped voxel cell. As is dictated by the topology, there is one fewer cell than points in each dimension. For example, if the grid has

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,
