<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear friends,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Although I have read both vtkusers guide and other
Vtk main book, I am not exactly sure about the followings. If someone knows,
please help me.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I use vtkSmoothPolyDataFilter, to smooth a surface.
It smoots the surface. But, at the end of the smoothing process, I want to
display smoothing errors. For this purpose I use the functions
GenerateErrorScalars, and GrenerateErrorScalarsOn. When I use these functions,
in the render window, smoothed surface is drawn with various colors. I think,
these colors correspond to different error values. Here I have the following
questions:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2>1- How is the smoothing error computed?
(i.e, what is the error measure?Laplacian smoothing is used but error
measure?)</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2>2- How can I obtain the numerical values of
these errors?</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><STRONG>3- How can I draw a graphic to legend these
error values?</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If someone can help me about my above problems,
I'll be very glad.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Best Regards.</FONT></DIV>
