Add functionality to resample points along a curve #11

Open tavaughan opened 7 years ago

Would have several applications, including assessment of catheter placement

Here is what ideally I'd like to have on the GUI two new parameters. An output node to store resampled points (either as Markups or as Model), and a resampling distance. See the two I added to the GUI (they're at the bottom of the list):

Now I could easily change the low-level functions to have an optional output parameter (vtkPoints* resampledPoints) and resampling distance, but this will add even more parameters to these already-long interfaces:

    static void GeneratePiecewiseLinearCurveModel( vtkPoints* controlPoints, vtkPolyData* outputTubePolyData,
      double tubeRadius=vtkSlicerMarkupsToModelCurveGeneration::TUBE_RADIUS_DEFAULT,
      int tubeNumberOfSides=vtkSlicerMarkupsToModelCurveGeneration::TUBE_NUMBER_OF_SIDES_DEFAULT,
      int tubeSegmentsBetweenControlPoints=vtkSlicerMarkupsToModelCurveGeneration::TUBE_SEGMENTS_BETWEEN_CONTROL_POINTS_DEFAULT,
      bool tubeLoop=vtkSlicerMarkupsToModelCurveGeneration::TUBE_LOOP_DEFAULT,
      vtkPoints* outputResampledPoints=NULL,
      double resamplingDistance=RESAMPLING_DISTANCE_DEFUALT );

Obviously this will make things rather messy. What would be the best way to proceed?
