FitSplineToCutterOutput
Repository source: FitSplineToCutterOutput
Description¶
This examples cuts a vtkPolydata and fits a vtkKochanekSpline to the resulting polylines. The cut lines are passed through vtkStripper to make them into connected polylines. Then, the lines are passed through vtkTubeFilter to improve the visualization.
The example takes an optional argument that specifies a vtk polydata file (.vtp). If run without an argument, it processes a sphere.
