vtkPolyDataSilhouette

Section: Visualization Toolkit Hybrid Classes

Usage

vtkPolyDataSilhouette extracts a subset of a polygonal mesh edges to generate an outline (silhouette) of the corresponding 3D object. In addition, this filter can also extracts sharp edges (aka feature angles). In order to use this filter you must specify the a point of view (origin) or a direction (vector). given this direction or origin, a silhouette is generated wherever the surface's normal is orthogonal to the view direction.

To create an instance of class vtkPolyDataSilhouette, simply invoke its constructor as follows

  obj = vtkPolyDataSilhouette
