vtkTVRD Function

Returns the contents of a VTK window as a bitmapped image.

Usage

image = vtkTVRD([window_index])

Input Parameters

window_index—(optional) An integer specifying the index of an existing VTK window. If omitted, the current window is used.

Keywords

Filename—File path to store a temporary PPM file. Default is “wave.ppm.”

Returned Value

image—An array (3, width, height) of bytes containing the 24-bit image.

Discussion

This function works like TVRD for PV-WAVE windows. It uses vtkPPMWRITE and vtkPPMREAD to save and then read the contents of a window. The temporary file created is deleted when done.

Example

vtkWINDOW, 7

vtkAXES

TV, vtkTVRD(7), /TRUE
