Here you can choose betwee A (advanced) and B (simpler) below:
A) Install vtk from http://www.vtk.org/VTK/resources/software.html
__OR__
B) Download a vtk executable VTK5.8.0.zip
Create a new directory c:\programs\ on your computer (if it does not already exist)
Put the VTK5.8.0.zip in c:\programs\ and unpack (unzip) it there.
There will now be a folder called c:\programs\VTK5.8.0 containing a bin and a lib directory.
2) Download and install
the Hume linear algebra
package.
Goto www.hume.com/la.
Read the License Terms.
Choose "LA Package
Download" from the left panel.
Choose la101win and save
in e.g. c:\programs\hume (you need to create this directory if it does not already
exist).
Unpack the downloaded zip file and copy the directory named
la1.0 to the tcl directory under
the vtk installation: i.e. under
C:\programs\VTK5.8\lib\vtk-5.8\tcl8.5.
So you should now have a
directory named
C:\programs\VTK5.8\lib\vtk-5.10\tcl8.5\la1.0.
3) Download and install
landmarker.
Download: landmarker2.0.6f.zip for Windows (Vista, XP
or 2000).
Download: some_landmarker_data.zip (some example
data).
Download landmarker2.0.6f.zip to e.g.
c:\programs\ and unpack the zip-file, this will create a directory
named
c:\programs\landmarker2.0.6f.
Copy the folder in the
landmarker distribution named landmarker_preferences
to your user home directory.
Under
XP the user home is typically C:\Documents and Settings\username where
username is the user id.
Under Vista the user home is typically
C:\Users\username where username is the user id.
(Exceptions exist
e.g. on networked computers.)
If you are in doubt, execute the program named
determine_user_home.exe in the landmarker distribution, it will tell
you the name of your home directory.
------------------------------------------------------------
If you, for some reason, installed landmarker2.0.6f in a directory OTHER than c:\programs\ you need to do the following:
In the landmarker_preferences
directory, now in your home directory, edit the file named
landmarker_preferences.tcl in a text editor (e.g. Wordpad or NotePad).
You need to change the following
setting:
Locate the line containing the
following code:
if {$platform ==
"windows"} {set landmarker_home "C:/programs/landmarker2.0.6f/"}
and
change
this line to:
if {$platform == "windows"} {set landmarker_home
"XXXX/landmarker2.0.6f/"}
(Here assuming that XXXX
/landmarker2.0.6f/ is the name of the directory
where you installed the landmarker files, including the landmarker.tcl
file.)
(Please
note the use of forward slashes even on a Windows
platform.)
Save the landmarker_preferences.tcl after finishing the editing.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Create a directory named c:\tmp
Goto the directory where you
downloaded the landmarker distribution (e.g.
C:/programs/landmarker2.0.6f/) and open the
landmarker.tcl using the program vtk.exe.
This is
typically done like this:
Under XP, right click the landmarker.tcl icon and chosse "Open WIth" and "Choose default program", check the "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file", then use the Browse button to select the file "vtk.exe" in the "bin" directory under the vtk distributon (see item 1 above), e.g. in C:\programs\VTK5.8\bin
Under Vista, double click the
landmarker.tcl icon, then select "Select a program from a list of
installed programs" and press "OK", select "Always use the selected program to
open this kind of file", the use the Browse button and choose the file named
vtk.exe in the bin directory under the vtk distributon (see
item 1 above), e.g. in
C:\programs\VTK5.8\bin.
Double clicking the
landmarker.tcl icon should now start landmarker (a menu window and a
blue surface window should appear).
Make a shortcut to the
landmarker.tcl program and place it on you
desktop.
4) Test
landmarker.
Load a surface file:
File->Load(New)->SurfaceFile, select
e.g.cooked_deci.stl
Load an image file:
File->Load(New)->ImageFile, select e.g.
cooked.hea
