I am trying to understand a code to generate MIPs for nifti format images
could you please help me with:
\*\*(vtkmodules.vtkImagingCore.vtkImageReslice)0x7f580e63ec20 \*\*
what exactly is this line

That’s the repr() of a VTK object in the Python wrappers. It’s the type and address of the object.

actor.GetMapper().SetInputConnection(color.GetOutputPort())
renderer = vtk.vtkRenderer()
renderer.AddActor(actor)

window.AddRenderer(renderer)
This is the code it is causing to crash the runtime after actor.GetMapper().SetInputConnection(color.GetOutputPort())
