Hi Ashish,<br>
<br>
When you built VTK, was the VTK_USE_RENDERING CMake variable set to ON?
If it was, are you linking against the vtkVolumeRendering library?<br>

I am trying to solve exactly similar problem but using DICOM images
rather than bmp. But I am getting errors and I can't figure out why. My
code is based on your previous conversation so far. The error that I
get is:

</div>
<div>hi Yixun,</div>
<div>Thank you very much for your email.</div>
<div>What exactly do you mean by the physical size of the image?</div>
<div>Does it mean the size of the image in cm or mm?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>For example if my original images are 5.12 cm * 5.12 cm and
are 256 * 256 images.</div>
<div>What will the data spacing be?</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Also can you tell me the reason why the 3D volume seems
darker than the original images? </div>
<div>Is there any way I can scale the intensity of the images?</div>
<div>Thanks again,</div>

</div>
<div>hi Yixun,</div>
<div>I implemented the suggestions that you had made.</div>
<div>Now I am getting a 3D volume but it doesnt look anything
like the original 2D slices.</div>
<div>It is much darker in appearance and it's got lines all
over it ( it looks as though it's some kind of aliasing).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have the following questions to ask you </div>
<div>1.While using the function SetDataSpacing(x,y,z) how do I
decide the values of the parameters x,y and z.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>2.While using the Addpoint() function of class
vtkPiecewiseFunction what do the two parameters in the Addpoint
function mean?</div>
<div>How do they affect the output?</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>This is code I have used. Do let me know if you can make
any more sugestions.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<p>//This program reads a single BMP file and plots it as an
image.<br>
