Code¶
MedicalDemo2.cxx
// Derived from VTK/Examples/Cxx/Medical2.cxx
// This example reads a volume dataset, extracts two isosurfaces that
// represent the skin and bone, and then displays them.

Download and Build MedicalDemo2¶
Click here to download MedicalDemo2 and its CMakeLists.txt file. Once the tarball MedicalDemo2.tar has been downloaded and extracted,
cd MedicalDemo2/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:
./MedicalDemo2
WINDOWS USERS
Be sure to add the VTK bin directory to your path. This will resolve the VTK dll's at run time.
