why.  This is necessary both if SetInput or SetInputConnection is used to
connect the filters.  If I use a different filter (e.g. vtkExtractVOI) then
this Update call is not necessary.  I&#8217;m not sure why this is, as this
behavior seems inconsistent with what I have come to expect from vtk, but it

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Oops, I just saw that
vtkImageMapToColors is a vtkImageAlgorithm, so the pipeline should work. The
problem may come from how you use the returned pointer: you have to update your
pipeline before using the imagedata.<br>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Hi,<br>
You should be more precise about your problem. I guess you missed a
resample-&gt;Update() before setting the input of colorMap, but not for sure. <br>

<p class=MsoNormal>Hi,<br>
<br>
I am attempting unsuccessfully to use vtkImageResample to change the spacing<br>
of an image.<br>
I have a 3D volume that is being resliced with a vtkImagePlaneWidget. &nbsp;I
am<br>
then requesting the slice.<br>
The code works fine until I add this filter, can anyone tell me what I am<br>
doing wrong.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
KB<br>
<br>
Code before filter is added (executes with no problem):<br>

sliceName)<br>
