vtkPolyDataTangents计算模型顶点的切向量

VTK计算模型的切向量

---

计算切向量用到vtkPolyDataTangents这个函数，该函数的输入要求模型具有法向量和纹理坐标的数据信息，法向量使用vtkPolyDataNormals计算，纹理坐标使用vtkTextureMapToPlane计算。

将每个顶点切向量用箭头表示如下图：

• 核心代码：

	vtkNew<vtkPolyDataNormals> normalFilter;
	normalFilter->SetInputData(origin);
	normalFilter->SetComputePointNormals(true);
	
	vtkNew<vtkTextureMapToPlane> textureFilter;
	textureFilter->SetInputConnection(normalFilter->GetOutputPort());
	textureFilter->SetNormal(0, 0, 1);
	
	vtkNew<vtkPolyDataTangents> tangentFilter;
	tangentFilter->SetInputConnection(textureFilter->GetOutputPort());
	tangentFilter->SetComputePointTangents(true);
	tangentFilter->Update();
	//提取模型切向量
	auto tangents = tangentFilter->GetOutput()->GetPointData()->GetTangents();
	tangentFilter->GetOutput()->GetPointData()->SetNormals(tangents);
	
	//切向量可视化
	vtkNew<vtkArrowSource> arrow;
	arrow->Update();

	vtkNew<vtkGlyph3D> glyph;
	glyph->SetInputData(tangentFilter->GetOutput());
	glyph->SetSourceData(arrow->GetOutput());
	glyph->SetScaleFactor(1.0);
	glyph->SetVectorModeToUseNormal();
	glyph->Update();
