<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Hello,<div><br></div><div>I have figured out some of my issues with the vtkPolyDataConnectivity filter but I still have a few questions about how it works. I want to extract all regions that share both spatial and scalar connectivity. Before I was trying to turn on both SetExtractionModeToAllRegions and ScalarConnectivityOn, but now I realize that I can only extract regions of scalar connectivity one scalar range at a time. Now I am able to extract one connected region per scalar range. </div><div><br></div><div>My question is, how can I extract the rest of the regions in that scalar range? When I try turning on SetExtractionModeToAllRegions, the output is 39930 regions with what looks like random region separation. I'm still not understanding this output.</div><div><br></div><div>Any advice about this filter and using scalar connectivity would be appreciated.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Sara</div><div><br><div><div>On Jun 10, 2012, at 9:25 PM, Sara Rolfe wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 10px/normal Monaco; ">Hello,</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 10px/normal Monaco; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 10px/normal Monaco; ">I am using vtkPolyDataConnectivityFilter to separate spatially disconnected kmeans regions. The kmeans cluster numbers are in the "Scalers" array of the polydata. If I understand correctly, my code should give each of the connected regions sharing a kmeans cluster number a unique region id. However, my polydata with 95670 points and 7 kmeans clusters produces 39930 connected regions. The kmeans output does not appear to be noisy, so I don't think this could be right. My code to set up the filter is is below and I would appreciate any comments. </div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 10px/normal Monaco; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 10px/normal Monaco; ">Or, is there a better way to accomplish this task? </div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 10px/normal Monaco; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 10px/normal Monaco; ">Thanks for your advice,</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 10px/normal Monaco; ">Sara</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 10px/normal Monaco; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 10px/normal Monaco; "><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>vtkSmartPointer<vtkPolyDataConnectivityFilter> connectivityFilter = vtkSmartPointer<vtkPolyDataConnectivityFilter>::New();</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 10px/normal Monaco; "><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>connectivityFilter->SetInputConnection(labelReader->GetOutputPort());</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 10px/normal Monaco; "><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>connectivityFilter->SetExtractionModeToAllRegions();</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 10px/normal Monaco; "><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>connectivityFilter->ScalarConnectivityOn();</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 10px/normal Monaco; "><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>connectivityFilter->ColorRegionsOn();</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 10px/normal Monaco; "><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>connectivityFilter->Update();</div></div>_______________________________________________<br>Powered by <a href="http://www.kitware.com">www.kitware.com</a><br><br>Visit other Kitware open-source projects at <a href="http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html">http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html</a><br><br>Please keep messages on-topic and check the VTK FAQ at: <a href="http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK_FAQ">http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK_FAQ</a><br><br>Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe:<br><a href="http://www.vtk.org/mailman/listinfo/vtkusers">http://www.vtk.org/mailman/listinfo/vtkusers</a><br></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
