LineSource

Source (.js)Source (.d.ts)

Introduction

vtkLineSource creates a line segment from point1 to point2; The resolution can be specified, which determines the number of points along the line. Following a vtkLineSource by a vtkTubeFilter is a convenient way to create a cylinder based on endpoints.

Usage

import vtkLineSource from '@kitware/vtk.js/Filters/Sources/LineSource';

const line = vtkLineSource.newInstance({ resolution: 10 });
const polydata = line.getOutputData();
