Hi,
I wrote a plugin that enable a toggle between different BlendMode of the
FixedPointVolumeRayCastMapper that is used by ParaView for volume rendering.
It catches a key event on a render window ('B' pressed) and toggle
BlendMode: Composite -> MaximumIntensity -> MinimumIntensity ->
Composite->...
Here is my way:
- When button 'B' pressed:
- get view manager from core instance
- get active view from view manager
- for each representation 'rep' of active view:
- check if 'rep' has a VolumeRepresentation SubProxy
- if yes:
- check if VolumeRepresentation has a VolumeFixedPointRayCastMapper
SubProxy
- if yes:
- get the vtkFixedPointVolumeRayCastMapper ('mapper') from this
latter SubProxy
- mapper->SetBlendMode( (++mapper->GetBlendMode( ))%3 );
- Update and render.
For this to work, I need to call vtkSMProxy::GetSubProxy( char* ) from my
plugin class. But unfortunately, these functions are protected member. I
modified the ParaView sources to make it public, and it work just... fine.
My questions are:
- Is there a reason (software design, maybe?) to protect the functions that
give access to subproxies, whereas the access to properties are
-fortunately- public?
- Is there another way to access SubProxy without modifying ParaView's
sources?
Thanks!
Jerome
