Detailed Description

read vtk polygonal data file.

Date:

2000/12/10 20:08:47

Revision:

1.24

vtkPolyDataReader is a source object that reads ASCII or binary polygonal data files in vtk format (see text for format details). The output of this reader is a single vtkPolyData data object. The superclass of this class, vtkDataReader, provides many methods for controlling the reading of the data file, see vtkDataReader for more information.

Warning:

Binary files written on one system may not be readable on other systems.

Member Function Documentation

vtkPolyDataReader* vtkPolyDataReader::New (    )  [static]

Instantiate object with no start, end, or progress methods. Reimplemented from vtkDataReader.

virtual const char* vtkPolyDataReader::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 vtkDataReader.

int vtkPolyDataReader::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 vtkDataReader.

virtual int vtkPolyDataReader::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 vtkDataReader.

vtkPolyDataReader* vtkPolyDataReader::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 vtkDataReader.

void vtkPolyDataReader::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 vtkDataReader.

vtkPolyData* vtkPolyDataReader::GetOutput (    )

Get the output of this reader.

vtkPolyData* vtkPolyDataReader::GetOutput (  int    idx )  [inline]

Reimplemented from vtkSource. Definition at line 75 of file vtkPolyDataReader.h.

void vtkPolyDataReader::SetOutput (  vtkPolyData *    output )

void vtkPolyDataReader::operator= (  const vtkPolyDataReader &    )  [inline, protected]

Definition at line 83 of file vtkPolyDataReader.h.

void vtkPolyDataReader::Execute (    )  [protected, virtual]

Reimplemented from vtkSource.

void vtkPolyDataReader::ComputeInputUpdateExtents (  vtkDataObject *    output )  [protected, virtual]

What is the input update extent that is required to produce the desired output? By default, the whole input is always required but this is overridden in many subclasses. Reimplemented from vtkSource.
