VertexConnectivity

VTKExamples/Cxx/PolyData/VertexConnectivity

Description

The input must be only edges (i.e. vtkExtractEdges must be run).

Download and Build VertexConnectivity

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

cd VertexConnectivity/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:

./VertexConnectivity

WINDOWS USERS

Be sure to add the VTK bin directory to your path. This will resolve the VTK dll's at run time.
