Re: [vmtk-users] How to use vmtk in c++?

[Luca A. <luc...@gm...>]

Hello Haibin,
 vmtk is composed of a low-level layer in C++ and a high-level layer in Python (www.python.org).
A vmtk pipe is essentially a Python program that you compose at the command line.

Therefore, you'll be able to run a pipe outside of PypePad, you just need to run it inside any
Python interpreter.

However, if you need to use vmtk functionality from C++ you need to use vmtk C++ classes 
directly, such as vtkvmtkPolyDataCenterlines. These are all classes derived from VTK classes,
so the best way to learn how to use vmtk from C++ is to learn VTK (www.vtk.org).

You can find all C++ classes in the vtkVmtk directory and you can have an idea on how to 
use them by looking at how they are instantiated inside the vmtk scripts in the vmtkScripts 
directory.

Hope this gives you an outlook so you can take an informed decision.

The only thing I need to do is to type the following in pypepad ---"vmtkcenterlines -ifile E:\\zbuild\\fengeguli.vtp -ofile E:\\zbuild\\fengegulicenter_4.vtp --pipe vmtkrenderer --pipe vmtksurfaceviewer -ifile E:\\zbuild\\fengeguli.vtp -opacity 0.25 --pipe vmtksurfaceviewer -ifile E:\\zbuild\\fengegulicenter_4.vtp".  Is there a way that the program can be operated in vs2010 but not on the pypepad?
