Purpose

MLToVTKImage provides an ML input and a VTK output connector. The ML input image is set as data for a vtkImageImporter which is provided at the output.

Windows

Default Panel

Input Fields

input0

name: input0, type: Image

The module has one ML input. Only the dimensions x, y, z are used as geometric dimensions by VTK and the color dimension extents 1,2,3,4 are interpreted as intensity, intensity-alpha, RGB and RGBA images.

Output Fields

outputImage

name: outputImage, type: MLBase

The module has a vtkImageImporter output which can be connected to other vtk modules via the Base connector.

Parameter Fields

Field Index

Apply Mode: Enum

Num Scalar Comps: Integer

Reset Image: Trigger

Status: String

Update Image: Trigger

Update Mode: Enum

Visible Fields

Num Scalar Comps

name: numScalarComps, type: Integer, default: 1, minimum: 1, maximum: 64

The number of scalar components of the vtk image if no color channels are available

Update Mode

name: updateMode, type: Enum, default: AutoUpdate

Specifies when and/or how the VTK image is updated on inputs changes

Values:

Title	Name	Description
Off	Off	Leaves the internally used image (if there is one) unchanged on any input connector changes.
Auto Clear	AutoClear	The internally input image (if there is one) is cleared/removed on any change of the input connector.
Auto Update	AutoUpdate	The internally image is updated to new image data at the image input of the module or even cleared if no valid data is connected to the input.

Apply Mode

name: applyMode, type: Enum, default: AutoApply

Specifies when and/or how parameters are applied and the VTK image is updated

Values:

Title	Name	Description
Off	Off	This mode leaves the internally used image (if there is one) unchanged on any parameter change.
Auto Clear	AutoClear	The internally stored (input) image (if there is one) is cleared/removed on any parameter change.
Auto Apply	AutoApply	The internally image is updated to new image data from the image input or even cleared if no valid data is connected to the input.

Update Image

name: updateImage, type: Trigger

If this button is pressed the internally used image is updated to state of the image input or even cleared if no valid data is connected to the input. Note that this button is insensitive if Update Mode is set to AutoUpdate.

Reset Image

name: resetImage, type: Trigger

If this button is pressed the internally used image is cleared and deallocated. Note that this button is insensitive if Update Mode is set to AutoUpdate.

Status

name: status, type: String

Shows modules state
