<p class=MsoNormal>Dear VTK-users,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I want to process temporal data sets with
vtk. I have two dicom data sets as input, which I want to compose to one vtk
data set if this is possible. The first data set stores the anatomy for each slice
and time step. The second one holds flow information for each slice and time
step. I have successful converted these dicom files in two vtkImageData objects
and want to compose them into one vtkImageData. Based on these data set I want
to apply some flow visualization techniques like vtkStreamLine. But this seems
not to be efficient and crashes if the data sets are too big.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>My question is: Is there any other classes
which are more appropriate for storing and processing temporal data. I have
found some relevant classes like vtkTemporalDataSet and vtkTemporalDataSetAlgorithm
which refer to these kind of data. So is this the right way to process temporal
data or I’m wrong? If not, is it possible to compose multiple vtkImageData
to one vtkTemporalDataSet? I have only found examples in which a file is
reading and converted to a vtkTemporalDataSet (see <a
href="http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/VTK/Time_Support">http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/VTK/Time_Support</a>).
Can somebody give me a small example or hints what I have to do when I’m
reading temporal data “from scratch”.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
