FunctionalBagPlot

VTKExamples/Cxx/Plotting/FunctionalBagPlot

Description

This example illustrates how to use the vtkPlotFunctionalBag. This class, depending on the number of components in a column, will either draw a line plot (1 component) or, for two component columns, a filled polygonal band (the bag) going from the first to second component.

The example uses a qualitative color map selected from vtkColorSeries.

Download and Build FunctionalBagPlot

Click here to download FunctionalBagPlot and its CMakeLists.txt file. Once the tarball FunctionalBagPlot.tar has been downloaded and extracted,

cd FunctionalBagPlot/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:

./FunctionalBagPlot
