Re: [vmtk-users] convert .DAT file to a .VTP file

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

Hello Haim,
 as you know the dat format throws away the cell connectivity information (it only retains the point coordinates), 
so there's not generic way of recreating a vtp from it.
However, as in your case, we can probably infer the connectivity by the fact that lines are written as a sequential
list of points.

One question before I can suggest you a solution: how many lines are there per file (i.e. do your dat files contain
once centerline per file or do you have more?)

Best,


Luca
