ImageWarp
vtk-examples/Cxx/Images/ImageWarp
Description¶
Combining the imaging and visualization pipelines to deform an image in the z-direction. The vtkMergeFilter is used to combine the warped surface with the original color data.

Download and Build ImageWarp¶
Click here to download ImageWarp and its CMakeLists.txt file. Once the tarball ImageWarp.tar has been downloaded and extracted,
cd ImageWarp/build
If VTK is installed:
cmake ..
If VTK is not installed but compiled on your system, you will need to specify the path to your VTK build:
cmake -DVTK_DIR:PATH=/home/me/vtk_build ..
Build the project:
make
and run it:
./ImageWarp
WINDOWS USERS
Be sure to add the VTK bin directory to your path. This will resolve the VTK dll's at run time.
