vtk实战(二十一)——写入STL格式

使用vtkSTLWriter（）类以ASCII或二进制形式保存STL格式的文件，该格式只包含三角形。如果多边形含有3个以上的顶点，只有前3个顶点被写入。可以使用vtkTriangleFilter（）转换多边形为三角形。

  stlWriter->SetFileName(filename.c_str());
  stlWriter->SetInputConnection(sphereSource->GetOutputPort());
  stlWriter->Write();

  vtkSmartPointer<vtkSTLReader> reader =

  mapper->SetInputConnection(sphereSource->GetOutputPort());

  vtkSmartPointer<vtkActor> actor =
    vtkSmartPointer<vtkActor>::New();
  actor->SetMapper(mapper);

  vtkSmartPointer<vtkRenderer> renderer =
    vtkSmartPointer<vtkRenderer>::New();
  vtkSmartPointer<vtkRenderWindow> renderWindow =
    vtkSmartPointer<vtkRenderWindow>::New();
  renderWindow->AddRenderer(renderer);
  vtkSmartPointer<vtkRenderWindowInteractor> renderWindowInteractor =
    vtkSmartPointer<vtkRenderWindowInteractor>::New();
  renderWindowInteractor->SetRenderWindow(renderWindow);

  renderer->AddActor(actor);
  renderer->SetBackground(.3, .6, .3); // Background color green

  renderWindow->Render();
  renderWindowInteractor->Start();
  return 0;
