Hi, everyone,<br><br>I often use Paraview for visualization of medical object geometry models<br>and do some filtering. But I noticed that Paraview does not offer many<br>parameters setup by user, like VTK filters. For example, SmoothPolyDataFilter,<br>
it can be used like<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; vtkSmoothPolyDataFilter *smoother = vtkSmoothPolyDataFilter::New();<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; smoother-&gt;SetInput(surface-&gt;GetOutput());<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; smoother-&gt;SetRelaxationFactor(0.1);<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; smoother-&gt;SetFeatureAngle(60);<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; smoother-&gt;FeatureEdgeSmoothingOff();<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; smoother-&gt;BoundarySmoothingOff();<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; smoother-&gt;SetNumberOfIterations(50);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; smoother-&gt;SetConvergence(0);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>Paraview 3.4.0 only display &quot;Number of Iterations&quot; and &quot;Convergence&quot; for<br>
user to setup. This often does not provide good effect like the C++ one.<br><br>Another example is <br>vtkDecimatePro *decimate = vtkDecimatePro::New();<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; decimate-&gt;SetInput(smoother-&gt;GetOutput());&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; decimate-&gt;SplittingOff();<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; decimate-&gt;SetErrorIsAbsolute(5);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; decimate-&gt;SetDegree(10);<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; decimate-&gt;SetMaximumError(0.005);<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; decimate-&gt;SetTargetReduction(0.8);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; decimate-&gt;PreserveTopologyOn();<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; decimate-&gt;SetFeatureAngle(30);<br>
&nbsp; &nbsp; decimate-&gt;BoundaryVertexDeletionOff();<br>&nbsp; <br><br>Corresponding filter in Paraview 3.4.0 only have following options to setup:<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; Target Reduction, Preserve Topology, Feature Angle and BoundVertex Deletion.<br>
<br>I know that too much options may confuse user. I wonder if there are some setup to <br>use more options. Or should I revise ParaView source code to recompile a binary one.<br><br>Thank you very much!<br><br>Best,<br>Fucang<br>
