One or more label values must be specified to * generate the models. The boundary positions are always defined to * be half-way between adjacent voxels. This filter works best with * integral scalar values. * If ComputeScalars is on (the default), each output cell will have * cell data that corresponds to the scalar value (segmentation label) * of the corresponding cube. Note that this differs from vtkMarchingCubes, * which stores the scalar value as point data. The rationale for this * difference is that cell vertices may be shared between multiple * cells. This also means that the resultant polydata may be * non-manifold (cell faces may be coincident). To further process the * polydata, users should either: 1) extract cells that have a common * scalar value using vtkThreshold, or 2) process the data with * filters that can handle non-manifold polydata * (e.g. vtkWindowedSincPolyDataFilter). * Also note, Normals and Gradients are not computed. * If ComputeAdjacentScalars is on (default is off), each output point will have * point data that contains the label value of the neighbouring voxel. * This allows to remove regions of the resulting vtkPolyData that are * adjacent to specific label meshes. For example, if the input is a label * image that was created by running a watershed transformation on a distance * map followed by masking with the original binary segmentation.

If you are interested in * contouring other types of data, use the general vtkContourFilter. If you * want to contour an image (i.e., a volume slice), use vtkMarchingSquares. * @sa * vtkContourFilter vtkSliceCubes vtkMarchingSquares vtkDividingCubes */ #ifndef vtkDiscreteMarchingCubes_h #define vtkDiscreteMarchingCubes_h #include "vtkFiltersGeneralModule.h" // For export macro #include "vtkMarchingCubes.h" class VTKFILTERSGENERAL_EXPORT vtkDiscreteMarchingCubes : public vtkMarchingCubes { public: static vtkDiscreteMarchingCubes* New(); vtkTypeMacro(vtkDiscreteMarchingCubes, vtkMarchingCubes); //@{ /** * Set/Get the computation of neighbouring voxel values. */ vtkSetMacro(ComputeAdjacentScalars, vtkTypeBool); vtkGetMacro(ComputeAdjacentScalars, vtkTypeBool); vtkBooleanMacro(ComputeAdjacentScalars, vtkTypeBool); //@} protected: vtkDiscreteMarchingCubes(); ~vtkDiscreteMarchingCubes() override; int RequestData(vtkInformation*, vtkInformationVector**, vtkInformationVector*) override; vtkTypeBool ComputeAdjacentScalars; private: vtkDiscreteMarchingCubes(const vtkDiscreteMarchingCubes&) = delete; void operator=(const vtkDiscreteMarchingCubes&) = delete; }; #endif
