Detailed Description

object to represent cell connectivity

vtkCellArray stores dataset topologies as an explicit connectivity table listing the point ids that make up each cell.

Internally, the connectivity table is represented as two arrays: Offsets and Connectivity.

Offsets is an array of [numCells+1] values indicating the index in the Connectivity array where each cell's points start. The last value is always the length of the Connectivity array.

The Connectivity array stores the lists of point ids for each cell.

Thus, for a dataset consisting of 2 triangles, a quad, and a line, the internal arrays will appear as follows:

Topology:
---------
Cell 0: Triangle | point ids: {0, 1, 2}
Cell 1: Triangle | point ids: {5, 7, 2}
Cell 2: Quad | point ids: {3, 4, 6, 7}
Cell 4: Line | point ids: {5, 8}
vtkCellArray (current):
-----------------------
Offsets: {0, 3, 6, 10, 12}
Connectivity: {0, 1, 2, 5, 7, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 5, 8}
@ point
Definition: vtkX3D.h:236

While this class provides traversal methods (the legacy InitTraversal(), GetNextCell() methods, and the newer method GetCellAtId()) these are in general not thread-safe. Whenever possible it is preferable to use a local thread-safe, vtkCellArrayIterator object, which can be obtained via:

auto iter = vtk::TakeSmartPointer(cellArray->NewIterator());
for (iter->GoToFirstCell(); !iter->IsDoneWithTraversal(); iter->GoToNextCell())
{
// do work with iter
}
vtkSmartPointer< T > TakeSmartPointer(T *obj)
Construct a vtkSmartPointer<T> containing obj.

(Note however that depending on the type and structure of internal storage, a cell array iterator may be significantly slower than direct traversal over the cell array due to extra data copying. Factors of 3-4X are not uncommon. See vtkCellArrayIterator for more information. Also note that an iterator may become invalid if the internal vtkCellArray storage is modified.)

Other methods are also available for allocation and memory-related management; insertion of new cells into the vtkCellArray; and limited editing operations such as replacing one cell with a new cell of the same size.

The internal arrays may store either 32- or 64-bit values, though most of the API will prefer to use vtkIdType to refer to items in these arrays. This enables significant memory savings when vtkIdType is 64-bit, but 32 bits are sufficient to store all of the values in the connectivity table. Using 64-bit storage with a 32-bit vtkIdType is permitted, but values too large to fit in a 32-bit signed integer will be truncated when accessed through the API. (The particular internal storage type has implications on performance depending on vtkIdType. If the internal storage is equivalent to vtkIdType, then methods that return pointers to arrays of point ids can share the internal storage; otherwise a copy of internal memory must be performed.)

Methods for managing the storage type are:

Note that some legacy methods are still available that reflect the previous storage format of this data, which embedded the cell sizes into the Connectivity array:

vtkCellArray (legacy):
----------------------
Connectivity: {3, 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 2, 4, 3, 4, 6, 7, 2, 5, 8}
|--Cell 0--||--Cell 1--||----Cell 2---||--C3-|

The methods require an external lookup table to allow random access, which was historically stored in the vtkCellTypes object. The following methods in vtkCellArray still support this style of indexing for compatibility purposes, but these are slow as they must perform some complex computations to convert the old "location" into the new "offset" and should be avoided. These methods (and their modern equivalents) are:

Some other legacy methods were completely removed, such as GetPointer() / WritePointer(), since they are cannot be effectively emulated under the current design. If external code needs to support both the old and new version of the vtkCellArray API, the VTK_CELL_ARRAY_V2 preprocessor definition may be used to detect which API is being compiled against.

  • Return a value from operator()
  • Pass additional arguments to operator()
  • Hold state.

A more advanced functor that does these things is shown below, along with its usage. This functor scans a range of cells and returns the largest cell's id:

struct FindLargestCellInRange
{
template <typename CellStateT>
vtkIdType operator()(CellStateT &state,
vtkIdType rangeBegin,
vtkIdType rangeEnd)
{
vtkIdType largest = rangeBegin;
vtkIdType largestSize = state.GetCellSize(rangeBegin);
++rangeBegin;
for (; rangeBegin < rangeEnd; ++rangeBegin)
{
const vtkIdType curSize = state.GetCellSize(rangeBegin);
if (curSize > largestSize)
{
largest = rangeBegin;
largestSize = curSize;
}
}
return largest;
}
};
// Usage:
// Scan cells in range [128, 1024) and return the id of the largest.
vtkCellArray cellArray = ...;
vtkIdType largest = cellArray->Visit(FindLargestCellInRange{},
128, 1024);

◆ Visit() [3/4]

template<typename Functor , typename... Args, typename = typename std::enable_if<!ReturnsVoid<Functor, Args...>::value>::type>
GetReturnType<Functor, Args...> vtkCellArray::Visit ( Functor &&  functor,
Args &&...  args 
)
inline
Warning
Advanced use only.

The Visit methods allow efficient bulk modification of the vtkCellArray internal arrays by dispatching a functor with the current storage arrays. The simplest functor is of the form:

// Functor definition:
struct Worker
{
template <typename CellStateT>
void operator()(CellStateT &state)
{
// Do work on state object
}
};
// Functor usage:
vtkCellArray *cellArray = ...;
cellArray->Visit(Worker{});

where state is an instance of the vtkCellArray::VisitState<ArrayT> class, instantiated for the current storage type of the cell array. See that class for usage details.

◆ GetDefaultStorageIs64Bit()

static bool vtkCellArray::GetDefaultStorageIs64Bit ( )
inlinestatic

Control the default internal storage size.

Useful for saving memory when most cases can be handled with 32bit indices, but large models may require a run-time switch to 64bit indices.

Definition at line 1160 of file vtkCellArray.h.

◆ SetDefaultStorageIs64Bit()

static void vtkCellArray::SetDefaultStorageIs64Bit ( bool  val)
inlinestatic

Control the default internal storage size.

Useful for saving memory when most cases can be handled with 32bit indices, but large models may require a run-time switch to 64bit indices.

◆ SetNumberOfCells()

virtual void vtkCellArray::SetNumberOfCells ( vtkIdType  )
virtual

Set the number of cells in the array.

DO NOT do any kind of allocation, advanced use only.

Note
This call has no effect.

◆ EstimateSize()

vtkIdType vtkCellArray::EstimateSize ( vtkIdType  numCells,
int  maxPtsPerCell 
)

Utility routines help manage memory of cell array.

EstimateSize() returns a value used to initialize and allocate memory for array based on number of cells and maximum number of points making up cell. If every cell is the same size (in terms of number of points), then the memory estimate is guaranteed exact. (If not exact, use Squeeze() to reclaim any extra memory.)

Note
This method was often misused (e.g. called alone and then discarding the result). Use AllocateEstimate directly instead.

◆ GetSize()

vtkIdType vtkCellArray::GetSize ( )

Get the size of the allocated connectivity array.

Warning
This returns the allocated capacity of the internal arrays as a number of elements, NOT the number of elements in use.
Note
Method incompatible with current internal storage.

◆ GetNumberOfConnectivityEntries()

vtkIdType vtkCellArray::GetNumberOfConnectivityEntries ( )

Return the size of the array that would be returned from ExportLegacyFormat().

Note
Method incompatible with current internal storage.

◆ GetCell() [1/2]

void vtkCellArray::GetCell ( vtkIdType  loc,
vtkIdType npts,
const vtkIdType *&  pts 
)

Internal method used to retrieve a cell given a legacy offset location.

Warning
Subsequent calls to this method may invalidate previous call results.
Note
The location-based API is now a super-slow compatibility layer. Prefer GetCellAtId.

◆ GetCell() [2/2]

void vtkCellArray::GetCell ( vtkIdType  loc,
vtkIdList pts 
)

Internal method used to retrieve a cell given a legacy offset location.

Note
The location-based API is now a super-slow compatibility layer. Prefer GetCellAtId.

◆ GetInsertLocation()

vtkIdType vtkCellArray::GetInsertLocation ( int  npts)

Computes the current legacy insertion location within the internal array.

Used in conjunction with GetCell(int loc,...).

Note
The location-based API is now a super-slow compatibility layer.

◆ GetTraversalLocation() [1/2]

vtkIdType vtkCellArray::GetTraversalLocation ( )

Get/Set the current traversal legacy location.

Note
The location-based API is now a super-slow compatibility layer. Prefer Get/SetTraversalCellId.

◆ GetTraversalLocation() [2/2]

vtkIdType vtkCellArray::GetTraversalLocation ( vtkIdType  npts)

Get/Set the current traversal legacy location.

Note
The location-based API is now a super-slow compatibility layer. Prefer Get/SetTraversalCellId.

◆ SetTraversalLocation()

void vtkCellArray::SetTraversalLocation ( vtkIdType  loc)

Get/Set the current traversal legacy location.

Note
The location-based API is now a super-slow compatibility layer. Prefer Get/SetTraversalCellId.

◆ ReverseCell()

void vtkCellArray::ReverseCell ( vtkIdType  loc)

Special method inverts ordering of cell at the specified legacy location.

Must be called carefully or the cell topology may be corrupted.

Note
The location-based API is now a super-slow compatibility layer. Prefer ReverseCellAtId;

◆ ReplaceCell()

void vtkCellArray::ReplaceCell ( vtkIdType  loc,
int  npts,
const vtkIdType  pts[] 
)

Replace the point ids of the cell at the legacy location with a different list of point ids.

Calling this method does not mark the vtkCellArray as modified. This is the responsibility of the caller and may be done after multiple calls to ReplaceCell. This call does not support changing the number of points in the cell – the caller must ensure that the target cell has npts points.

Note
The location-based API is now a super-slow compatibility layer. Prefer ReplaceCellAtId.

◆ SetCells()

void vtkCellArray::SetCells ( vtkIdType  ncells,
vtkIdTypeArray cells 
)

Define multiple cells by providing a connectivity list.

The list is in the form (npts,p0,p1,...p(npts-1), repeated for each cell). Be careful using this method because it discards the old cells, and anything referring these cells becomes invalid (for example, if BuildCells() has been called see vtkPolyData). The traversal location is reset to the beginning of the list; the insertion location is set to the end of the list.

Warning
The vtkCellArray will not hold a reference to cells. This function merely calls ImportLegacyFormat.
Note
Use ImportLegacyFormat or SetData instead.

◆ GetData()

vtkIdTypeArray* vtkCellArray::GetData ( )

Return the underlying data as a data array.

Warning
The returned array is not the actual internal representation used by vtkCellArray. Modifications to the returned array will not change the vtkCellArray's topology.
Note
Use ExportLegacyFormat, or GetOffsetsArray/GetConnectivityArray instead.

◆ GetCellAtId() [4/7]

void vtkAbstractCellArray::GetCellAtId

Return the point ids for the cell at cellId.

Subsequent calls to this method may invalidate previous call results if the internal storage type is not the same as vtkIdType and cannot be shared through the cellPoints pointer. If that occurs, the method will use ptIds, which is an object that is created by each thread, to guarantee thread safety.

◆ GetCellAtId() [5/7]

virtual void vtkAbstractCellArray::GetCellAtId

Return the point ids for the cell at cellId.

Subsequent calls to this method may invalidate previous call results if the internal storage type is not the same as vtkIdType and cannot be shared through the cellPoints pointer. If that occurs, the method will use ptIds, which is an object that is created by each thread, to guarantee thread safety.

◆ GetCellAtId() [6/7]

virtual void vtkAbstractCellArray::GetCellAtId

Return the point ids for the cell at cellId.

Subsequent calls to this method may invalidate previous call results if the internal storage type is not the same as vtkIdType and cannot be shared through the cellPoints pointer. If that occurs, the method will use ptIds, which is an object that is created by each thread, to guarantee thread safety.

◆ GetCellAtId() [7/7]

virtual void vtkAbstractCellArray::GetCellAtId

Return the point ids for the cell at cellId.

Subsequent calls to this method may invalidate previous call results if the internal storage type is not the same as vtkIdType and cannot be shared through the cellPoints pointer. If that occurs, the method will use ptIds, which is an object that is created by each thread, to guarantee thread safety.
