Hi Nil, can you provide a 4D mesh in order to reproduce your bug? you refer to a 4D mitk::Mesh, right? not a mitk::Surface

let me know,
thank you

Yes, the bug is on a 4D mitk::Mesh. It works perfectly on 3D Mesh because, as I wrote, the problem arises on t > 0.

I would gladly provide a Mesh, but I'm not sure how to do that. Saving a Mesh gives a "MITK Point Set (*.mps)" file. In fact, I'm currently writing a Mesh serializer so they are saved with the scene, but it's not finished and you don't have the code anyway. So... you want me to write a script that produces a simple 4D Mesh? Can do if there's no simpler way.

how do you generate the 4D mitk::Mesh in your setting? It looks like as a result of an iterative segmentation method in SPECT, isn´t it? It would suffice if you provide the code snippet for converting a set of mitk::Surface into a 4D mesh. Otherwise, I will try to do it myself

I don't have the code you are asking for, but in order to help you, I created a simple mesh (2 tetrahedra) as an example and the rendering is also broken, so here's the code: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/1a54610a912c49e0d251 It's absolutely ugly (sorry!) but it's enough to see the bug.

sorry for the late answer ... I missed your last message with the example data

now I could reproduce the problem.
It looks like only the nodes are updated in the 2D windows. The lines are not.
The 3D window looks fine

New remote branch pushed: bug-15475-mesh-rendering-problem-on-timesteps

it looks like there were some timesteps taken as default (0) in the mesh mapper

please give it a try now ...

bug-15475-mesh-rendering-problem-on-timesteps

Hey, thanks for your patch. The rendering without an interactor is now ok. With an interactor though, I still have almost the same problem as in my first post. I believe the only problenm is that they are all selected by default.

do you know how can I reproduce the error in "rendering with an interactor"?

In a quick look into PointSetInteractor I found a missing "m_TimeStep" in line 804:

if ((pointSet->GetSize( m_TimeStep ) == m_N)&&(pointSet->GetNumberOfSelected()==0))

should be:

if ((pointSet->GetSize( m_TimeStep ) == m_N)&&(pointSet->GetNumberOfSelected(TimeStep)==0))

can you give it a try?

I don't do anything special; I just add an interactor.
mitk::DataNode::Pointer meshNode = mitk::DataNode::New();
meshNode->SetData(aMeshWithLotOfGates);
meshNode->SetStringProperty("name", "MY MESH");
GetDataStorage()->Add(meshNode, m_CurrentImageNode);
mitk::PointSetInteractor::Pointer interactor =

mitk::PointSetInteractor::New("onlymovepointsetinteractor", meshNode);

meshNode->EnableInteractor();

The line you told me to add didn't change anything.

added missing timesteps

hello, some new findings from today´s bugsquashing:

• QmitkPointListWidget and QmitkPointListView are not handling time steps at all. I suggest that you don´t use them with meshes with t>0
• PointOperation is considering the points in its constructor as active by default. So, you have to options here: 1) define the points in your mesh e.g. mitk::PointOperation addPoint(mitk::OpINSERT, p, 0, false) .... or 2)set default selected=false in the constructor: e.g.PointOperation(OperationType operationType, Point3D point, int index = -1, bool selected = false, PointSpecificationType type = PTUNDEFINED);

I suggest option 2) but changes in the core take long.

• mitkPointSetInteractor is handling time steps correctly

Let me know what you think ...

an alternative to setting the points in a PointSet as deactivated by default, would be to have a method in PointSet such as:

void mitk::PointSet::SelectAll(bool selected, unsigned int t)
{

if ( t < m_PointSetSeries.size() )
{
  mitk::PointSet::PointsIterator iter = this->Begin(t);
  for ( ; iter != this->End(t);
        iter++ )
  {
    this->SetSelectInfo( iter->Index(), selected, t );
  }
}

}

In this way, if your pointset is loaded from disk, you can use it after loading.

I will discuss the preferred choice with my colleagues before making modifications in the core

Nil, could you please confirm whether the proposed solution (either Comment 12 or 13) has worked for you?

thank you

Oh, sorry for the delay. The way I coded, addind false in the ctor was indeed simple and solves the problem. I didn't test the other ideas, but as a user, I believe selected should be false by default.

Thanks again for your time.

yes, I also think that. I will open a new bug for that and close this one.
good luck!
