Thanks Jinzhong.<br><br>Do you know of any way to have a pointer to these cells so that I can access them after a call to RemoveDeleteCells(), instead of remembering them by their indices, since they get rearranged.<br><br>

<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">Hi all,<br>
I have some cells in a vtkPolyData where I also have a std::list of their index
in my program. Sometimes, I want to delete some of these cells, but when I call
RemoveDeletedCells the cells in my vtkPolyData get re-ordered, so my std::list
index to them are no longer correct. <br>
<br>
My question is there another way to keep track of which cell is which cell if I
do call RemoveDeletedCells and get rid of some of them? Such as a pointer to
each cell within my vtkPolyData...<br>
<br>
Relevant code below:<br>
<br>
pointArray is of vtkPoints<br>
cellArray is of vtkCellArray<br>
<br>
I keep a list of actorIndex to refer to each cell. (each cell is basically just
the point i want to display on the render window). So when I delete actorIndex
10, the old actorIndex 11 becomes 10, and when I try to delete 11 I get an
error....<br>
<br>
AddPoint(double pt[3]) {<br>
<br>
int actorIndex = pointArray->InsertNextPoint(pt);<br>
polyData->SetPoints(pointArray);<br>
<br>
int n = pointArray->GetNumberOfPoints() - 1; // Subtract
one for the correct array index<br>
cellArray->InsertNextCell(1, &n);<br>
<br>
polyData->SetVerts(cellArray);<br>
if (n==0) {<br>
polyMapper->SetInput(polyData);<br>
actor->SetMapper(polyMapper);<br>
actor->GetProperty()->SetRepresentationToPoints();<br>
renderer->AddActor(actor);<br>
}<br>
polyData->Modified();<br>
...<br>
<br>
Any help/clue/pointer is appreciated! <br>
<br>
