I would like to render a Polygon with a hole in VTK. I found that the vtkDelaunay2D class should do the trick. I followed the tutorial here vtkDelaunay2D Example and it worked perfectly.
Afterwards I tried to create a different polygon with a different hole. And I don't get why it's not working and would like to know what I would have to change.
This is how it should look like.
This is how it looks like in reality.
This is the code I used:
import vtk
import random
points = vtk.vtkPoints()
ls = [
[2, 2], [-2, 2], [-2, -2], [2, -2],
[5, 5], [-5, 5], [-8, 0], [-5, -5], [5, -5], [8, 0],
[10, 10], [-10, 10], [-10, -10], [10, -10]
]
for x, y in ls:
points.InsertNextPoint(x, y, 0)
aPolyData = vtk.vtkPolyData()
aPolyData.SetPoints(points)
aCellArray = vtk.vtkCellArray()
cPolygon = vtk.vtkPolygon()
start = 0
for idd in range(start, start + 4):
cPolygon.GetPointIds().InsertNextId(idd)
aCellArray.InsertNextCell(cPolygon)
boundary = vtk.vtkPolyData()
boundary.SetPoints(aPolyData.GetPoints())
boundary.SetPolys(aCellArray)
delaunay = vtk.vtkDelaunay2D()
delaunay.SetInputData(aPolyData)
delaunay.SetSourceData(boundary)
################################## Actors etc:
meshMapper = vtk.vtkPolyDataMapper()
meshMapper.SetInputConnection(delaunay.GetOutputPort())
colors = vtk.vtkNamedColors()
meshActor = vtk.vtkActor()
meshActor.SetMapper(meshMapper)
meshActor.GetProperty().EdgeVisibilityOn()
meshActor.GetProperty().SetEdgeColor(colors.GetColor3d("Peacock"))
meshActor.GetProperty().SetInterpolationToFlat()
boundaryMapper = vtk.vtkPolyDataMapper()
boundaryMapper.SetInputData(boundary)
boundaryActor = vtk.vtkActor()
boundaryActor.SetMapper(boundaryMapper)
boundaryActor.GetProperty().SetColor(colors.GetColor3d("Raspberry"))
boundaryActor.GetProperty().SetLineWidth(3)
boundaryActor.GetProperty().EdgeVisibilityOn()
boundaryActor.GetProperty().SetEdgeColor(1, 1, 0)
boundaryActor.GetProperty().SetRepresentationToWireframe()
renderer = vtk.vtkRenderer()
renderWindow = vtk.vtkRenderWindow()
renderWindow.AddRenderer(renderer)
renderWindowInteractor = vtk.vtkRenderWindowInteractor()
renderWindowInteractor.SetRenderWindow(renderWindow)
renderer.AddActor(meshActor)
renderer.AddActor(boundaryActor)
renderer.SetBackground(colors.GetColor3d("Mint"))
renderWindow.SetSize(640, 480)
renderWindow.Render()
renderWindowInteractor.Start()
As far as I can tell it should work. Like in the example I create a set of points, define a boundary around the first 4 points (the should be hole) and then just render it.
Change
for idd in range(start, start + 4):
into
for idd in reversed(range(start, start + 4)):
