Purpose¶

VTKPolyDataToWEM converts a vtkPolyData object to a WEM. It is an adaptor module between the WEM package and VTK modules in MeVisLab. It is especially useful to apply VTK algorithms to meshes created with WEM modules and vice versa.

Input Fields¶

inputPolyData¶

name: inputPolyData, type: VTKObjectWrapper(MLBase)¶: The input is a Base field for a vtkObjectTypeWrapper which contains a vtkPolyData object. It can be used to connect to a large number of VTK modules.

Output Fields¶

outWEM¶

name: outWEM, type: WEM(MLBase)¶: The output connector is a Base field for WEM object which you find as an for many WEM modules.

For accessing this object via scripting, see the Scripting Reference: MLWEMWrapper.

Visible Fields¶

Update Mode¶

name: updateMode, type: Enum, default: AutoUpdate¶: Specifies when and/or how the VTK image is updated on inputs changes.

Apply¶

name: apply, type: Trigger¶: See Auto apply.

Auto apply¶

name: autoApply, type: Bool, default: FALSE¶: If enabled then all changes are immediately applied and the output is updated. If disabled then Apply must be pressed to activate the settings.

Status¶

name: status, type: String, persistent: no¶: Shows some information, normally some information about the connected input object.

VTK Scalar¶

name: vtkScalar, type: String¶: The name of the VTK’s scalar values of the nodes that should be converted to the WEM’s PVL.

WEM PVL¶

name: wemPVL, type: String, default: LUT¶: The name of the target WEM PVL for the VTK’s scalar node values.

Do Scalar¶

name: doScalar, type: Bool, default: FALSE¶: If enabled, the VTK’s scalar values associated with each node are added to the WEM’s PrimitiveValueList (PVL).
