Detailed Description

treat a volume as if it were an implicit function.

Date:
2000/12/10 20:08:40
Revision:
1.23

vtkImplicitVolume treats a volume (e.g., structured point dataset) as if it were an implicit function. This means it computes a function value and gradient. vtkImplicitVolume is a concrete implementation of vtkImplicitFunction.

vtkImplicitDataSet computes the function (at the point x) by performing cell interpolation. That is, it finds the cell containing x, and then uses the cell's interpolation functions to compute an interpolated scalar value at x. (A similar approach is used to find the gradient, if requested.) Points outside of the dataset are assigned the value of the ivar OutValue, and the gradient value OutGradient.

Warning:
Works for 3D structured points datasets, 0D-2D datasets won't work properly.

Member Function Documentation

virtual const char* vtkImplicitVolume::GetClassName   [virtual]
 

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 vtkImplicitFunction.

int vtkImplicitVolume::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.

Reimplemented from vtkImplicitFunction.

virtual int vtkImplicitVolume::IsA const char *    type [virtual]
 

Return 1 if this class 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.

Reimplemented from vtkImplicitFunction.

vtkImplicitVolume* vtkImplicitVolume::SafeDownCast vtkObject   o [static]
 

Will cast the supplied object to vtkObject* is this is a safe operation (i.e., a safe downcast); otherwise NULL is returned. This method is defined in all subclasses of vtkObject with the vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkImplicitFunction.

void vtkImplicitVolume::PrintSelf ostream &    os,
vtkIndent    indent
[virtual]
 

Methods invoked by print to print information about the object including superclasses. Typically not called by the user (use Print() instead) but used in the hierarchical print process to combine the output of several classes.

Reimplemented from vtkImplicitFunction.

vtkImplicitVolume* vtkImplicitVolume::New   [static]
 

Construct an vtkImplicitVolume with no initial volume; the OutValue set to a large negative number; and the OutGradient set to (0,0,1).

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

unsigned long vtkImplicitVolume::GetMTime   [virtual]
 

Returns the mtime also considering the volume.

Reimplemented from vtkImplicitFunction.

float vtkImplicitVolume::EvaluateFunction float    x[3] [virtual]
 

Evaluate the ImplicitVolume. This returns the interpolated scalar value at x[3].

Reimplemented from vtkImplicitFunction.

float vtkImplicitVolume::EvaluateFunction float    x,
float    y,
float    z
[inline]
 

Reimplemented from vtkImplicitFunction.

void vtkImplicitVolume::EvaluateGradient float    x[3],
float    n[3]
[virtual]
 

Evaluate ImplicitVolume gradient.

Reimplemented from vtkImplicitFunction.

Specify the volume for the implicit function.
