[vtkusers] Re: vtkMergePoints usage (Steve Boyd)

[Steve Boyd]

Doug,

I think I've worked it out now.  Hope this helps:

    // Taking out duplicate points by adding them one by one into
mergedPts
    vtkPoints *mergedPts = vtkPoints::New();  // for merged points

    vtkMergePoints *pointLocator = vtkMergePoints::New();
      pointLocator->InitPointInsertion(mergedPts,points->GetBounds());
// original data bnds

    for (id=0; id<points->GetNumberOfPoints(); id++) { // main loop

      newPt = points->GetPoint(id);
      pointLocator->InsertUniquePoint(newPt,insertedId);  // insert the
unique point
    }


Steve
