vtkTestHull将多个平面围成一个凸面体

1、vtkHull 

produce an n-sided convex hull

vtkHull is a filter which will produce an n-sided convex hull given a set of n planes. (The convex hull bounds the input polygonal data.) The hull is generated by squeezing the planes towards the input vtkPolyData, until the planes just touch the vtkPolyData. Then, the resulting planes are used to generate a polyhedron (i.e., hull) that is represented by triangles.

The n planes can be defined in a number of ways including 1) manually specifying each plane; 2) choosing the six face planes of the input's bounding box; 3) choosing the eight vertex planes of the input's bounding box; 4) choosing the twelve edge planes of the input's bounding box; and/or 5) using a recursively subdivided octahedron. Note that when specifying planes, the plane normals should point outside of the convex region.

The output of this filter can be used in combination with vtkLODActor to represent a levels-of-detail in the LOD hierarchy. Another use of this class is to manually specify the planes, and then generate the polyhedron from the planes (without squeezing the planes towards the input). The method GenerateHull() is used to do this.
