Detailed Description

Superclass for gradient estimation.

Date:: 2000/12/10 20:08:36

Revision:: 1.22

vtkEncodedGradientEstimator is an abstract superclass for gradient estimation. It takes a scalar input of vtkImageData, computes a gradient value for every point, and encodes this value into a three byte value (2 for direction, 1 for magnitude) using the vtkDirectionEncoder. The direction encoder is defaulted to a vtkRecursiveSphereDirectionEncoder, but can be overridden with the SetDirectionEncoder method. The scale and the bias values for the gradient magnitude are used to convert it into a one byte value according to v = m*scale + bias where m is the magnitude and v is the resulting one byte value.

Return the class name as a string. This method is defined in all subclasses of vtkObject with the vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.
Reimplemented from vtkObject.
Reimplemented in vtkFiniteDifferenceGradientEstimator.

int vtkEncodedGradientEstimator::IsTypeOf ( const char * type ) [static]

Return 1 if this class type is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

virtual void vtkEncodedGradientEstimator::SetComputeGradientMagnitudes ( int ) [virtual]

If you don't want to compute gradient magnitudes (but you do want normals for shading) this can be used. Be careful - if if you a non-constant gradient magnitude transfer function and you turn this on, it may crash
