How to manually create a polyData with multi line segments in vtk.js

[meihuisu]

I am writing a reader reading a multi-segment text file for Generic Mapping Tools.
It contains many 3-tuples

      const polydata = vtkPolyData.newInstance({ name: data.pieces[idx] });
      const pts = data.vset[idx];
      const cellArray = [];
      let cnt=pts.length;
      cellArray.push(cnt);
      for(let i=0; i<cnt; i++) {
        cellArray.push(i);
      }
      polydata.getLines().setData(Uint16Array.from(cellArray));
      polydata.getPoints().setData(Float32Array.from(pts), 3);

would appreciate a pointer to an example…

found it,
from How to manually create a polyData with multi line segments in vtk.js

the getLines() takes an array of [ total_pt_cnt, index of points ]

Manually Create PolyData in vtk.js

One thing that could be worth adding to the vtkDataArray could be the setTuple{1,2,3,6} methods. That way you could have a similar feel. But we were also trying not to wrap any functionality that could be naturally achieved on the native JS arrays.

is the link I wanted to point to. Thanks. got my reader working.
