[vmtk-users] Automatically executing VMTK centerline

[Anouk P. <ano...@gm...>]

Dear VMTK users,

I am using VMTK centerline to calculate the centerline of an stl file as
follows:

vmtksurfacereader -ifile /Users/.../Phantom_Best_Catheter_now.stl -f "stl"
--pipe vmtkcenterlines -endpoints 1 -seedselector openprofiles --pipe
vmtkcenterlinegeometry -ofile
/Users/.../Phantom_Best_Catheter_now_output.dat


For all the different input files I use, the seedselector option always
leads to me pressing 'q' '0' '1' and then it works. So I close the viewer,
and I think I set the source id as 0 and the target id as 1.

Is there a way to make this an automatic process so I don't have to type q,
0, 1 each time? I've tried using seedselector idlist but I'm not sure how
to use it (it does not give me the right answer when I use -sourceids 0
-targetids 1.

Does anyone know a way to do this?


Thanks in advance!


Best wishes,


Anouk
