<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a question concerning the execution of
filters in pipelines (VTK5).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I use a pipeline of different filters for
isosurface generation and display.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>How can I exclude a certain filter from execution
when the whole pipeline is being processed?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>For example, I have vtkImageData which comes
originally from ITK and which is linked to</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>a ITKtoVTKImageFilter and deals as input for
vtkMarchingCubes whose polydata-output is</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>rendered.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>After the pipeline executes the first time, the
polydata is created and whenever the renderer</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>wants to update the pipeline, the polydata is newly
created but I want to avoid this.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>How can I tell the Marching Cubes filter not to
update the output when the renderer claims</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>to update the pipeline?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Regards,</FONT></DIV>
