Using VTK Algorithms#
In this exercise, you will use a VTK Algorithm directly to filter a PyVista mesh.
VTK algorithms (filters) follow a standard flow for most cases:
Instantiate the algorithm
Set the input data object or connection:
.SetInputDataObject(mesh)Adjust algorithm parameters with the setter methods, e.g.,
SetParameterName(value)Call
.Update()to run the algorithmRetrieve the output of the algorithm:
output = alg.GetOutput()
Let’s see if we can try a few VTK algorithms with that standard workflow.
import pyvista as pv
import vtk
from pyvista import examples
Here is a sample mesh
Simple Filter#
Let’s start out with a simple VTK filter: vtkOutlineFilter

Help on class vtkOutlineFilter in module vtkmodules.vtkFiltersModeling:
class vtkOutlineFilter(vtkmodules.vtkCommonExecutionModel.vtkPolyDataAlgorithm)
| vtkOutlineFilter - create wireframe outline for an arbitrary data set
| or composite dataset
|
| Superclass: vtkPolyDataAlgorithm
|
| vtkOutlineFilter is a filter that generates a wireframe outline of
| any dataset or composite dataset. An outline consists of the twelve
| edges of the dataset bounding box. An option exists for generating
| faces instead of a wireframe outline.
|
| @warning
| When an input composite dataset is provided, options exist for
| producing different styles of outline(s). Also, if the composite
| dataset has non-geometric members (like tables) the result is
| unpredictable.
|
| @warning
| Specialized versions of the outline filter are also available. For
| example see vtkStructuredGridOutlineFilter,
| vtkRectilinearGridOutlineFilter, and vtkImageDataOutlineFilter.

| AddIndex(...)
| AddIndex(self, index:int) -> None
| C++: void AddIndex(unsigned int index)
|
| If the composite style is set to SpecifiedIndex, then one or more
| flat indices can be specified, and bounding boxes will be drawn
| around those pieces of the composite dataset. (Recall that the
| flat index is a non-negative integer, with root index=0,
| increasing in perorder (depth-first) traversal order.

| const char *attributeTypeorName)
|
| Set the input data arrays that this algorithm will process.
| Specifically the idx array that this algorithm will process
| (starting from 0) is the array on port, connection with the
| specified association and name or attribute type (such as
| SCALARS). The fieldAssociation refers to which field in the data
| object the array is stored. See vtkDataObject::FieldAssociations
| for detail.
|
| SetInputConnection(...)
| SetInputConnection(self, port:int, input:vtkAlgorithmOutput)
| -> None
| C++: virtual void SetInputConnection(int port,
| vtkAlgorithmOutput *input)
| SetInputConnection(self, input:vtkAlgorithmOutput) -> None
| C++: virtual void SetInputConnection(vtkAlgorithmOutput *input)
|
| Set the connection for the given input port index. Each input
| port of a filter has a specific purpose. A port may have zero or
| more connections and the required number is specified by each
| filter. Setting the connection with this method removes all
| other connections from the port. To add more than one connection
| use AddInputConnection().
|
| * The input for the connection is the output port of another
| * filter, which is obtained with GetOutputPort(). Typical usage
| is
|
| * filter2->SetInputConnection(0, filter1->GetOutputPort(0)).
|
| SetInputDataObject(...)
| SetInputDataObject(self, port:int, data:vtkDataObject) -> None
| C++: virtual void SetInputDataObject(int port,
| vtkDataObject *data)
| SetInputDataObject(self, data:vtkDataObject) -> None
| C++: virtual void SetInputDataObject(vtkDataObject *data)
|
| Sets the data-object as an input on the given port index. Setting
| the input with this method removes all other connections from the
| port. Internally, this method creates a vtkTrivialProducer
| instance and sets that as the input-connection for the given
| port. It is safe to call this method repeatedly with the same
| input data object. The MTime of the vtkAlgorithm will not change
| unless the data object changed.
|
| SetProgressObserver(...)
| SetProgressObserver(self, __a:vtkProgressObserver) -> None
| C++: void SetProgressObserver(vtkProgressObserver *)
|
| If an ProgressObserver is set, the algorithm will report progress
| through it rather than directly. This means that it will call
| UpdateProgress() on the ProgressObserver rather than itself
| report it and set progress. This is most useful in situations
| where multiple threads are executing an algorithm at the same
| time and want to handle progress locally.
|
| SetProgressShiftScale(...)
| SetProgressShiftScale(self, shift:float, scale:float) -> None
| C++: void SetProgressShiftScale(double shift, double scale)
|
| Specify the shift and scale values to use to apply to the
| progress amount when `UpdateProgress` is called. By default shift
| is set to 0, and scale is set to 1.0. This is useful when the
| vtkAlgorithm instance is used as an internal algorithm to solve
| only a part of a whole problem.
|
| If calling on a internal vtkAlgorithm, make sure you take into
| consideration that values set of the outer vtkAlgorithm as well
| since the outer vtkAlgorithm itself may be nested in another
| algorithm.
|
| ote SetProgressShiftScale does not modify the MTime of the
| algorithm.
|
| SetProgressText(...)
| SetProgressText(self, ptext:str) -> None
| C++: void SetProgressText(const char *ptext)
|
| Set the current text message associated with the progress state.
| This may be used by a calling process/GUI. Note: Because
| SetProgressText() is called from inside RequestData() it does not
| modify the algorithm object. Algorithms are not allowed to modify
| themselves from inside RequestData().
|
| SetReleaseDataFlag(...)
| SetReleaseDataFlag(self, __a:int) -> None
| C++: virtual void SetReleaseDataFlag(vtkTypeBool)
|
| Turn release data flag on or off for all output ports.

| Bring this algorithm's outputs up-to-date.
|
| UpdateDataObject(...)
| UpdateDataObject(self) -> None
| C++: virtual void UpdateDataObject()

|
| UpdateExtent(...)
| UpdateExtent(self, extents:(int, int, int, int, int, int)) -> int
| C++: virtual int UpdateExtent(const int extents[6])
|
| Convenience method to update an algorithm after passing requests
| to its first output port. Supports extent request.
|
| UpdateExtentIsEmpty(...)
| UpdateExtentIsEmpty(self, pinfo:vtkInformation,
| output:vtkDataObject) -> int
| C++: int UpdateExtentIsEmpty(vtkInformation *pinfo,
| vtkDataObject *output)
| UpdateExtentIsEmpty(self, pinfo:vtkInformation, extentType:int)
| -> int
| C++: int UpdateExtentIsEmpty(vtkInformation *pinfo,
| int extentType)
|
| This detects when the UpdateExtent will generate no data This
| condition is satisfied when the UpdateExtent has zero volume
| (0,-1,...) or the UpdateNumberOfPieces is 0. The source uses this
| call to determine whether to call Execute.
|
| UpdateInformation(...)
| UpdateInformation(self) -> None
| C++: virtual void UpdateInformation()
|
| Bring the algorithm's information up-to-date.
|
| UpdatePiece(...)
| UpdatePiece(self, piece:int, numPieces:int, ghostLevels:int,
| extents:(int, int, int, int, int, int)=...) -> int
| C++: virtual int UpdatePiece(int piece, int numPieces,
| int ghostLevels, const int extents[6]=nullptr)
|
| Convenience method to update an algorithm after passing requests
| to its first output port. See documentation for Update(int port,
| vtkInformationVector* requests) for details. Supports piece and
| extent (optional) requests.
|
| UpdateProgress(...)
| UpdateProgress(self, amount:float) -> None
| C++: void UpdateProgress(double amount)
|
| Update the progress of the process object. If a ProgressMethod
| exists, executes it. Then set the Progress ivar to amount. The
| parameter amount should range between (0,1).
|
| UpdateTimeStep(...)
| UpdateTimeStep(self, time:float, piece:int=-1, numPieces:int=1,
| ghostLevels:int=0, extents:(int, int, int, int, int, int)=...)
| -> int
| C++: virtual int UpdateTimeStep(double time, int piece=-1,
| int numPieces=1, int ghostLevels=0,
| const int extents[6]=nullptr)
|
| Convenience method to update an algorithm after passing requests
| to its first output port. See documentation for Update(int port,
| vtkInformationVector* requests) for details. Supports time, piece
| (optional) and extent (optional) requests.
|
| UpdateWholeExtent(...)
| UpdateWholeExtent(self) -> None
| C++: virtual void UpdateWholeExtent()
|
| Bring this algorithm's outputs up-to-date.

|
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------
| Methods inherited from vtkmodules.vtkCommonCore.vtkObjectBase:
|
| FastDelete(...)
| FastDelete(self) -> None
| C++: virtual void FastDelete()
|
| Delete a reference to this object. This version will not invoke
| garbage collection and can potentially leak the object if it is
| part of a reference loop. Use this method only when it is known
| that the object has another reference and would not be collected
| if a full garbage collection check were done.
|
| GetAddressAsString(...)
| GetAddressAsString(self, classname:str) -> str
|
| Get address of C++ object in format 'Addr=%p' after casting to
| the specified type. This method is obsolete, you can get the
| same information from o.__this__.
|
| GetClassName(...)

| C++: const char *GetClassName()
|
| Return the class name as a string.
|
| GetIsInMemkind(...)
| GetIsInMemkind(self) -> bool

| A local state flag that remembers whether this object lives in
| the normal or extended memory space.
|
| GetReferenceCount(...)
| GetReferenceCount(self) -> int
| C++: int GetReferenceCount()
|
| Return the current reference count of this object.
|
| GetUsingMemkind(...)
| GetUsingMemkind() -> bool
| C++: static bool GetUsingMemkind()

| A global state flag that controls whether vtkObjects are
| constructed in the usual way (the default) or within the extended
| memory space.
|
| InitializeObjectBase(...)

| C++: void InitializeObjectBase()
|
| Register(...)

| SetMemkindDirectory(...)
| SetMemkindDirectory(directoryname:str) -> None
| C++: static void SetMemkindDirectory(const char *directoryname)
|
| The name of a directory, ideally mounted -o dax, to memory map an
| extended memory space within. This must be called before any
| objects are constructed in the extended space. It can not be
| changed once setup.
|
| SetReferenceCount(...)
| SetReferenceCount(self, __a:int) -> None
| C++: void SetReferenceCount(int)
|
| Sets the reference count. (This is very dangerous, use with
| care.)
|
| UnRegister(...)
| UnRegister(self, o:vtkObjectBase)
| C++: virtual void UnRegister(vtkObjectBase* o)
|
| Decrease the reference count (release by another object). This
| has the same effect as invoking Delete() (i.e., it reduces the
| reference count by 1).
|
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------
| Class methods inherited from vtkmodules.vtkCommonCore.vtkObjectBase:
|
| override(...) from builtins.type
| This method can be used to override a VTK class with a Python subclass.
| The class type passed to override will afterwards be instantiated
| instead of the type override is called on.
| For example,
|
| class foo(vtk.vtkPoints):
| pass
| vtk.vtkPoints.override(foo)
|
| will lead to foo being instantied everytime vtkPoints() is called.
| The main objective of this functionality is to enable developers to
| extend VTK classes with more pythonic subclasses that contain
| convenience functionality.
Try using this VTK filter yourself here:
Remember that you will have to wrap the output of the algorithm with pyvista.wrap()
Note
Note that the about filter can be replaced with a .outline() filter in PyVista
p = pv.Plotter()
p.add_mesh(mesh)
p.add_mesh(outline, color="k")
p.show()
Find your own filter#
Take a look at VTK’s examples and documentation to find a filter you’d like to apply to your mesh. The instructors will be around to help you implement.
