Is "v16" in the code below something that produces vtkImageData or vtkPolyData? If it's vtkImageData, then you should use the vtkXMLImageDataWriter: <a href="http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkXMLImageDataWriter.html">http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkXMLImageDataWriter.html</a>, and use the extension ".vti". If you want to save it in the older .vtk format, use the vtkStructuredPointsWriter: <a href="http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkStructuredPointsWriter.html">http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkStructuredPointsWriter.html</a>, and use the extension ".vtk".<br>
<br>Alternatively, if you used a series of images to create your volume, you should be able to load those images directly into VolView.<br><br>If your data really is polygonal, then you'll need to resample it onto a volume (vtkImageData), and then save out that volume using one of the methods described above.<br>

<div>Hi all vtk users.</div>
<div>I make the 3D reconstruction of a human skull and i want to use VolView to create an AVi file for this volume. The problem is that i saved my volume like this:</div>
<div>vtkXMLPolyDataWriter *vtkObject = vtkXMLPolyDataWriter::New();<br>vtkObject ->SetInput(v16->GetOutput());<br>vtkObject ->SetFileName("C:/Skull.vtk");</div>
<div>vtkObject ->SetDataModeToAscii();<br>vtkObject ->Write();<br>vtkObject ->Delete();</div>
<div> </div>
<div>When i try to open "Skull.vtk" usin VolView, i have this error message "The VTK file specified is either invalid or not a structured points data file.Of the different data types that vtk files can contain, only structured points is suitable for volume rendering."</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So, the problem is taht my volume is not saved as a structures points data file.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Can you help me and tell me how to convert the skull volume saved as "Skull.vtk" into structured points data file?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank yous so much</div></div></td></tr></tbody></table><br>
