MassProperties
Repository source: MassProperties
Description¶
This example uses vtkMassProperties to compute the volume of a closed mesh. vtkMassProperties requires triangles with consistent ordering. This example uses vtkFillHolesFilter and vtkTriangleFilter to ensure a closed, triangulated mesh. vtkPolyDataNormals enforces consistent normals.
If run with no arguments, a vtkSphereSource generates the vtkPolyData. Or given a file containing vtkPolyData, it computes that data's volume and surface area.
