Purpose

The module WEMImageData sets the image values of a connected ML image to the nodes of a WEM that lies within a connected ML image.

The module can set either the nodes’ LUT values, the nodes’ color values, or both.

Usage

Connect a WEM and an ML image to the module.

Details

The module assigns image values to WEMNodes. Values may be assigned to either a PVL as a color value or as an alpha value of a node. The module can handle single-channel, RGB, and RGBA input images. The mapping of channels to attributes depends on the combination of input image type and mapping type.

For PVL values, the first channel is always used.

For node colors, the RGB channels are used, if available. For single-channel images, this channel is copied to the node’s R, G, and B values, resulting in shades of gray.

For alpha values, the first channel is always used unless the input image is of type RGBA. In this case, the correct alpha channel is used.

For single-channel input images, trilinear interpolation can be applied to the sampled values. This functionality is not implemented for RGB or RGBA images and is ignored if such a type of image is attached (the first channel will not be interpolated in this case).

For color and alpha values, an additional scale factor can be applied. This is useful if the image values do not range within the interval [0, …, 1]. For example, if the image values range within [0, …, 255], set the corresponding ScaleValue to 255.

If only color or alpha is modified, the remaining channels of the nodes remain untouched. This allows for the assignment of color and alpha attributes individually, using different input images.

Ensure that the SoWEMRenderer rendering the modified WEM is set to display either the LUT values (attach a LUT module as well) or the nodes’ colors.

Input Fields

The module takes a WEM and an ML image as inputs.

input0

name: input0, type: Image

inWEM

name: inWEM, type: WEM(MLBase)
For accessing this object via scripting see the Scripting Reference: MLWEMWrapper.

Output Fields

The module’s output is a WEM where image values are set as colors or LUT values, or both.

outWEM

name: outWEM, type: WEM(MLBase)
For accessing this object via scripting see the Scripting Reference: MLWEMWrapper.

Parameter Fields

Visible Fields

Auto Apply

name: autoApply, type: Bool, default: TRUE

If checked, the module computes a new output WEM on every parameter change.

see also WEMGenerator.autoApply

Update Mode

name: updateMode, type: Enum, default: AutoUpdate, deprecated name: autoUpdate

Defines how this module should react on any input field change.

see also WEMGenerator.updateMode

Apply

name: apply, type: Trigger

When pressed, the module computes a new output WEM.

see also WEMGenerator.apply

Clear

name: clear, type: Trigger

When pressed, the output WEM is cleared (made empty).

see also WEMGenerator.clear

Overwrite label and description

name: overwriteLabelDescription, type: Bool, default: FALSE

If checked, label and description strings are set in the output WEM to Label and Description.

see also WEMGenerator.overwriteLabelDescription

Label

name: label, type: String

Sets a label string in the output WEM.

see also WEMGenerator.label

Description

name: description, type: String

Sets a description string in the output WEM.

see also WEMGenerator.description

Color Scale Value

name: colorScaleValue, type: Float, default: 1, minimum: 1

Sets a value by which all R, G, and B components are divided to bring the R, G, and B values into the range [0, …, 1].

The minimum value is 1.

Alpha Scale Value

name: alphaScaleValue, type: Float, default: 1, minimum: 1

Sets a value by which the alpha component is divided to bring it into the range [0, …, 1].

The minimum value is 1.

Use interpolation (not implemented for RGB or RGBA images)

name: useInterpolation, type: Bool, default: FALSE

If checked, the module uses a trilinear image value interpolation.

Set values for outside nodes

name: setDefaultForOutsideNodes, type: Bool, default: FALSE

If checked, the Outside value is set for nodes that lie outside the ML image; otherwise, the values of outside nodes remain unchanged.

This option works for setting LUT values as well as for setting node colors (in this case, the Outside color is set) or alpha values (in this case, the Outside alpha is set).

Outside value

name: defaultValue, type: Double, default: 0

Sets the default LUT value for nodes that lie outside the ML image.

Outside color

name: defaultColor, type: Color, default: 1 1 1

Sets the default color for nodes that lie outside the ML image.

Outside alpha

name: defaultAlpha, type: Float, default: 1

Sets the default alpha value for nodes that lie outside the ML image.

Use default value list (LUT)

name: useLUTPrimitiveValueList, type: Bool, default: TRUE

If checked, the image values are written into the default PVL named LUT; otherwise, a new PVL is generated and written to using the name provided in the Custom Value List.

Custom Value List

name: customPrimitiveValueList, type: String, default: Image Data

Sets a name for the PVL into which the image values are written.
