Detailed Description

adjust point positions to form a pleasing, packed arrangement

vtkPointSmoothingFilter modifies the coordinates of the input points of a vtkPointSet by adjusting their position to create a smooth distribution (and thereby form a pleasing packing of the points). Smoothing is performed by considering the effects of neighboring points on one another. Smoothing in its simplest form (geometric) is simply a variant of Laplacian smoothing where each point moves towards the average position of its neighboring points. Next, uniform smoothing uses a cubic cutoff function to produce repulsive forces between close points and attractive forces that are a little further away. Smoothing can be further controlled either by a scalar field, by a tensor field, or a frame field (the user can specify the nature of the smoothing operation). If controlled by a scalar field, then each input point is assumed to be surrounded by a isotropic sphere scaled by the scalar field; if controlled by a tensor field, then each input point is assumed to be surrounded by an anisotropic, oriented ellipsoid aligned to the the tensor eigenvectors and scaled by the determinate of the tensor. A frame field also assumes a surrounding, ellipsoidal shape except that the inversion of the ellipsoid tensor is already performed. Typical usage of this filter is to perform a smoothing (also referred to as packing) operation (i.e., first execute this filter) and then combine it with a glyph filter (e.g., vtkTensorGlyph or vtkGlyph3D) to visualize the packed points.

Smoothing depends on a local neighborhood of nearby points. In general, the larger the neighborhood size, the greater the reduction in high frequency information. (The memory and/or computational requirements of the algorithm may also significantly increase.) The PackingRadius (and PackingFactor) controls what points are considered close. The PackingRadius can be computed automatically, or specified by the user. (The product of PackingRadius*PackingFactor is referred to as the scaling factor alpha in the paper cited below. This provides a convenient way to combine automatic PackingRadius computation based on average between particle neighborhoods, and then adjust it with the PackingFactor.)

Any vtkPointSet type can be provided as input, and the output will contain the same number of new points each of which is adjusted to a new position.

Note that the algorithm requires the use of a spatial point locator. The point locator is used to build a local neighborhood of the points surrounding each point. It is also used to perform interpolation as the point positions are adjusted.

The algorithm incrementally adjusts the point positions through an iterative process. Basically points are moved due to the influence of neighboring points. Iterations continue until the specified number of iterations is reached, or convergence occurs. Convergence occurs when the maximum displacement of any point is less than the convergence value. As points move, both the local connectivity and data attributes associated with each point must be updated. Rather than performing these expensive operations after every iteration, a number of sub-iterations Si can be specified. If Si > 1, then the neighborhood and attribute value updates occur only every Si'th iteration. Using sub-iterations can improve performance significantly.

Warning: Geometric smoothing defines a one-sided attractive force between particles. Thus particles tend to clump together, and the entire set of points (with enough iterations and appropriate PackingRadius) can converge to a single position. This can be mitigated by turning on point constraints, which limit the movement of "boundary" points.; This class has been loosely inspired by the paper by Kindlmann and Westin "Diffusion Tensor Visualization with Glyph Packing". However, several computational shortcuts, and generalizations have been used for performance and utility reasons.; This class has been threaded with vtkSMPTools. Using TBB or other non-sequential type (set in the CMake variable VTK_SMP_IMPLEMENTATION_TYPE) may improve performance significantly.

◆ SetMotionConstraintToPlane()

void vtkPointSmoothingFilter::SetMotionConstraintToPlane ( )

inline

Specify how to constrain the motion of points.

By default, point motion is unconstrained. Points can also be constrained to a plane. If constrained to a plane, then an instance of vtkPlane must be specified.

Definition at line 314 of file vtkPointSmoothingFilter.h.

◆ SetPlane()

void vtkPointSmoothingFilter::SetPlane ( vtkPlane * )

Specify the plane to which point motion is constrained.

Only required if MotionConstraint is set to UNCONSTRAINED_MOTION.

◆ GetPlane()

virtual vtkPlane * vtkPointSmoothingFilter::GetPlane ( )

virtual

Specify the plane to which point motion is constrained.

Only required if MotionConstraint is set to UNCONSTRAINED_MOTION.

◆ SetLocator()

void vtkPointSmoothingFilter::SetLocator ( vtkAbstractPointLocator * locator )

Specify a point locator.

By default a vtkStaticPointLocator is used. The locator performs efficient searches to locate points around a sample point.

◆ GetLocator()

virtual vtkAbstractPointLocator * vtkPointSmoothingFilter::GetLocator ( )

virtual

Specify a point locator.

By default a vtkStaticPointLocator is used. The locator performs efficient searches to locate points around a sample point.

◆ RequestData()

int vtkPointSmoothingFilter::RequestData	(	vtkInformation *	,
		vtkInformationVector **	,
		vtkInformationVector *
	)

overrideprotectedvirtual

This is called by the superclass.

This is the method you should override.

Reimplemented from vtkPointSetAlgorithm.

◆ FillInputPortInformation()

int vtkPointSmoothingFilter::FillInputPortInformation	(	int	port,
		vtkInformation *	info
	)

overrideprotectedvirtual

Fill the input port information objects for this algorithm.

This is invoked by the first call to GetInputPortInformation for each port so subclasses can specify what they can handle.

Reimplemented from vtkPointSetAlgorithm.
