Detailed Description

helper class to generate triangulations

This class is used to generate unique triangulations of points. The uniqueness of the triangulation is controlled by the id of the inserted points in combination with a Delaunay criterion. The class is designed to be as fast as possible (since the algorithm can be slow) and uses block memory allocations to support rapid triangulation generation. Also, the assumption behind the class is that a maximum of hundreds of points are to be triangulated. If you desire more robust triangulation methods use vtkPolygon::Triangulate(), vtkDelaunay2D, or vtkDelaunay3D.

Background:
This work is documented in the technical paper: W.J. Schroeder, B. Geveci, M. Malaterre. Compatible Triangulations of Spatial Decompositions. In Proceedings of Visualization 2004, IEEE Press October 2004.
Background:
Delaunay triangulations are unique assuming a random distribution of input points. The 3D Delaunay criterion is as follows: the circumsphere of each tetrahedron contains no other points of the triangulation except for the four points defining the tetrahedron. In application this property is hard to satisfy because objects like cubes are defined by eight points all sharing the same circumsphere (center and radius); hence the Delaunay triangulation is not unique. These so-called degenerate situations are typically resolved by arbitrary selecting a triangulation. This code does something different: it resolves degenerate triangulations by modifying the "InCircumsphere" method to use a slightly smaller radius. Hence, degenerate points are always considered "out" of the circumsphere. This, in combination with an ordering (based on id) of the input points, guarantees a unique triangulation.
Background:
There is another related characteristic of Delaunay triangulations. Given a N-dimensional Delaunay triangulation, points laying on a (N-1) dimensional plane also form a (N-1) Delaunay triangulation. This means for example, that if a 3D cell is defined by a set of (2D) planar faces, then the face triangulations are Delaunay. Combining this with the method to generate unique triangulations described previously, the triangulations on the face are guaranteed unique. This fact can be used to triangulate 3D objects in such a way to guarantee compatible face triangulations. This is a very useful fact for parallel processing, or performing operations like clipping that require compatible triangulations across 3D cell faces. (See vtkClipVolume for an example.)
Background:
A special feature of this class is that it can generate triangulation templates on the fly. If template triangulation is enabled, then the ordered triangulator will first triangulate the cell using the slower ordered Delaunay approach, and then store the result as a template. Later, if the same cell type and cell configuration is encountered, then the template is reused which greatly speeds the triangulation.
Warning
Duplicate vertices will be ignored, i.e., if two points have the same coordinates the second one is discarded. The implications are that the user of this class must prevent duplicate points. Because the precision of this algorithm is double, it's also a good idea to merge points that are within some epsilon of one another.
The triangulation is performed using the parametric coordinates of the inserted points. Therefore the bounds (see InitTriangulation()) should represent the range of the parametric coordinates of the inserted points.

Add the tetrahedra classified (0=inside,1=outside) to the connectivity list provided.

Inside tetrahedron are those whose points are all classified "inside." Outside tetrahedron have at least one point classified "outside." The method returns the number of tetrahedron of the type requested.

◆ AddTetras() [3/5]

vtkIdType vtkOrderedTriangulator::AddTetras ( int  classification,
vtkIncrementalPointLocator locator,
vtkCellArray outConnectivity,
vtkPointData inPD,
vtkPointData outPD,
vtkCellData inCD,
vtkIdType  cellId,
vtkCellData outCD 
)

Assuming that all the inserted points come from a cell ‘cellId’ to triangulate, get the tetrahedra in outConnectivity, the points in locator and copy point data and cell data.

Return the number of added tetras.

Precondition
locator_exists: locator!=0
outConnectivity: outConnectivity!=0
inPD_exists: inPD!=0
outPD_exists: outPD!=0
inCD_exists: inCD!=0
outCD_exists: outCD!=0

◆ AddTetras() [4/5]

vtkIdType vtkOrderedTriangulator::AddTetras ( int  classification,
vtkIdList ptIds,
vtkPoints pts 
)

Add the tetrahedra classified (0=inside,1=outside) to the list of ids and coordinates provided.

These assume that the first four points form a tetrahedron, the next four the next, and so on.

◆ AddTetras() [5/5]

vtkIdType vtkOrderedTriangulator::AddTetras ( int  classification,
vtkIdList ptIds 
)

Add the tetrahedra classified (0=inside,1=outside) to the list of ids.

These assume that the first four points form a tetrahedron, the next four the next, and so on.

◆ AddTriangles() [1/2]

vtkIdType vtkOrderedTriangulator::AddTriangles ( vtkCellArray connectivity)

Add the triangle faces classified (2=boundary) to the connectivity list provided.

The method returns the number of triangles.

◆ AddTriangles() [2/2]

vtkIdType vtkOrderedTriangulator::AddTriangles ( vtkIdType  id,
vtkCellArray connectivity 
)

Add the triangle faces classified (2=boundary) and attached to the specified point id to the connectivity list provided.

(The id is the same as that specified in InsertPoint().)

◆ InitTetraTraversal()

void vtkOrderedTriangulator::InitTetraTraversal ( )

Methods to get one tetra at a time.

Start with InitTetraTraversal() and then invoke GetNextTetra() until the method returns 0.

◆ GetNextTetra()

int vtkOrderedTriangulator::GetNextTetra ( int  classification,
vtkTetra tet,
vtkDataArray cellScalars,
vtkDoubleArray tetScalars 
)

Methods to get one tetra at a time.

Start with InitTetraTraversal() and then invoke GetNextTetra() until the method returns 0. cellScalars are point-centered scalars on the original cell. tetScalars are point-centered scalars on the tetra: the values will be copied from cellScalars.

Precondition
tet_exists: tet!=0
cellScalars_exists: cellScalars!=0
tetScalars_exists: tetScalars!=0
tetScalars_valid_size: tetScalars->GetNumberOfTuples()==4
