<pre wrap="">Hi,
Does VTK support rendering (volume) data other than unsigned char, mainly float, double, etc.?

A simple look at the manual pages would have given you the answer
without having to ask the mailing list.<br>
<p><a class="el"
href="http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkVolumeTextureMapper3D.html">vtkVolumeTextureMapper3D</a>
renders a volume using 3D texture mapping. This class is actually an
abstract superclass - with all the actual work done by <a class="el"
href="http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkOpenGLVolumeTextureMapper3D.html">vtkOpenGLVolumeTextureMapper3D</a>.</p>
<p>This mappers currently supports:</p>
<p></p>
<ul>
<li>any data type as input</li>
</ul>
<a class="el"
href="http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkFixedPointVolumeRayCastMapper.html">vtkFixedPointVolumeRayCastMapper</a>
is a software ray caster for rendering volumes in <a class="el"
href="http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkImageData.html">vtkImageData</a>.
It works with all input data types<br>
<p> a <a class="el"
href="http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkFixedPointVolumeRayCastMapper.html">vtkFixedPointVolumeRayCastMapper</a>
can be used:</p>
<ul>
<li>if the data is not unsigned char or unsigned short</li>
</ul>
