Luca-- I've been vexed by a similar situation for awhile that I'm just now getting around to tackling. One thing I *do* have, however, is centerlines for my main vessel an all branches. I've noticed a vmtkcenterlinemerge.py/vtkvmtkMergeCenterlines.h/cxx that don't appear to be used anywhere, so I can't find a usage example.
What do I need to pass in for the tract ids and blanking ids to make this work, or do you have a usage example somewhere? -rd On 03/04/2013 07:00 AM, Luca Antiga wrote: > Hi Roman, > I'll really need to take a closer look to the data you sent, I'm planning > to do it in the next few days. > Thanks > > Luca > > On Mar 4, 2013, at 1:54 PM, Dr. Roman Grothausmann wrote: > >> On 23/02/13 13:56, Luca Antiga wrote: >>> Possible workarounds: >>> >>> 1.
