Detailed Description

map vtkPolyData to graphics primitives.

Date:

2001/10/21 14:06:47

Revision:

1.28

vtkPolyDataMapper is a class that maps polygonal data (i.e., vtkPolyData) to graphics primitives. vtkPolyDataMapper serves as a superclass for device-specific poly data mappers, that actually do the mapping to the rendering/graphics hardware/software. It is now possible to set a memory limit for the pipeline in the mapper. If the total estimated memory usage of the pipeline is larger than this limit, the mapper will divide the data into pieces and render each in a for loop.

Member Function Documentation

vtkPolyDataMapper* vtkPolyDataMapper::New (    )  [static]

Instantiate object with no start, end, or progress methods. Reimplemented from vtkProcessObject. Reimplemented in vtkMesaPolyDataMapper, and vtkOpenGLPolyDataMapper.

virtual const char* vtkPolyDataMapper::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 vtkMapper. Reimplemented in vtkMesaPolyDataMapper, and vtkOpenGLPolyDataMapper.

int vtkPolyDataMapper::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 vtkMapper. Reimplemented in vtkMesaPolyDataMapper, and vtkOpenGLPolyDataMapper.

virtual int vtkPolyDataMapper::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 vtkMapper. Reimplemented in vtkMesaPolyDataMapper, and vtkOpenGLPolyDataMapper.

vtkPolyDataMapper* vtkPolyDataMapper::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 vtkMapper. Reimplemented in vtkMesaPolyDataMapper, and vtkOpenGLPolyDataMapper.

void vtkPolyDataMapper::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 vtkMapper.

virtual void vtkPolyDataMapper::RenderPiece (  vtkRenderer *    ren, vtkActor *    a )  [pure virtual]

Implemented by sub classes. Actual rendering is done here. Reimplemented in vtkMesaPolyDataMapper, and vtkOpenGLPolyDataMapper.

virtual void vtkPolyDataMapper::Render (  vtkRenderer *    ren, vtkActor *    act )  [virtual]

This calls RenderPiece (in a for loop is streaming is necessary). Reimplemented from vtkMapper.

void vtkPolyDataMapper::SetInput (  vtkPolyData *    in )

Specify the input data to map.

vtkPolyData* vtkPolyDataMapper::GetInput (    )

Specify the input data to map. Reimplemented from vtkMapper.

void vtkPolyDataMapper::Update (  void    )  [virtual]

Update that sets the update piece first. Reimplemented from vtkMapper.

virtual void vtkPolyDataMapper::SetPiece (  int    )  [virtual]

If you want only a part of the data, specify by setting the piece.

virtual int vtkPolyDataMapper::GetPiece (    )  [virtual]

If you want only a part of the data, specify by setting the piece.

virtual void vtkPolyDataMapper::SetNumberOfPieces (  int    )  [virtual]

If you want only a part of the data, specify by setting the piece.

virtual int vtkPolyDataMapper::GetNumberOfPieces (    )  [virtual]

If you want only a part of the data, specify by setting the piece.

virtual void vtkPolyDataMapper::SetNumberOfSubPieces (  int    )  [virtual]

If you want only a part of the data, specify by setting the piece.

virtual int vtkPolyDataMapper::GetNumberOfSubPieces (    )  [virtual]

If you want only a part of the data, specify by setting the piece.

virtual void vtkPolyDataMapper::SetGhostLevel (  int    )  [virtual]

Set the number of ghost cells to return.

virtual int vtkPolyDataMapper::GetGhostLevel (    )  [virtual]

Set the number of ghost cells to return.

virtual float* vtkPolyDataMapper::GetBounds (    )  [virtual]

Return bounding box (array of six floats) of data expressed as (xmin,xmax, ymin,ymax, zmin,zmax). Reimplemented from vtkMapper.

virtual void vtkPolyDataMapper::GetBounds (  float    bounds[6] )  [inline, virtual]

Return bounding box (array of six floats) of data expressed as (xmin,xmax, ymin,ymax, zmin,zmax). Reimplemented from vtkMapper. Definition at line 111 of file vtkPolyDataMapper.h.

void vtkPolyDataMapper::ShallowCopy (  vtkAbstractMapper *    m )

Make a shallow copy of this mapper. Reimplemented from vtkMapper.
