VTK/Examples/Cxx/Remote/FrenetSerretFrameDemo

This example requires the remote module SplineDrivenImageSampler. Check to see if the file SplineDrivenImageSlicer.remote.cmake exists in VTK/Remote. If it does not, copy this file to VTK/Remote/SplineDrivenImageSlicer.remote.cmake.

Next

1. reconfigure with cmake.
2. Then enable the module setting Module_SplineDrivenImageSlicer:BOOL=ON
3. make

The classes used in this example are described in A Spline-Driven Image Slicer. In the example, the normal vectors are yellow, the tangent vectors are red and the binormal vectors are green.

This example illustrates how to control a pipeline inside a callback.

Download and Build FrenetSerretFrameDemo

Click here to download FrenetSerretFrameDemo. and its CMakeLists.txt file.

Once the tarball FrenetSerretFrameDemo.tar has been downloaded and extracted,

cd FrenetSerretFrameDemo/build 

• If VTK is installed:

cmake ..

• If VTK is not installed but compiled on your system, you will need to specify the path to your VTK build:

cmake -DVTK_DIR:PATH=/home/me/vtk_build ..

Build the project:

make

and run it:

./FrenetSerretFrameDemo

WINDOWS USERS PLEASE NOTE: Be sure to add the VTK bin directory to your path. This will resolve the VTK dll's at run time.
