VTKLoader

A loader for the VTK format.

This loader only supports the POLYDATA dataset format so far. Other formats (structured points, structured grid, rectilinear grid, unstructured grid, appended) are not supported.

Code Example

const loader = new VTKLoader();
const geometry = await loader.loadAsync( 'models/vtk/liver.vtk' );
geometry.computeVertexNormals();
const mesh = new THREE.Mesh( geometry, new THREE.MeshLambertMaterial() );
scene.add( mesh );

Import

VTKLoader is an addon, and must be imported explicitly, see Installation#Addons.

import { VTKLoader } from 'three/addons/loaders/VTKLoader.js';

url | The path/URL of the file to be loaded. This can also be a data URI.
---|---
onLoad | Executed when the loading process has been finished.
onProgress | Executed while the loading is in progress.
onError | Executed when errors occur.

Overrides: Loader#load

.parse( data : ArrayBuffer ) : BufferGeometry

Parses the given VTK data and returns the resulting geometry.

data | The raw VTK data as an array buffer
