Detailed Description

perform coordinate transformation, and represent position, in a variety of vtk coordinate systems

vtkCoordinate represents position in a variety of coordinate systems, and converts position to other coordinate systems. It also supports relative positioning, so you can create a cascade of vtkCoordinate objects (no loops please!) that refer to each other. The typical usage of this object is to set the coordinate system in which to represent a position (e.g., SetCoordinateSystemToNormalizedDisplay()), set the value of the coordinate (e.g., SetValue()), and then invoke the appropriate method to convert to another coordinate system (e.g., GetComputedWorldValue()).

The coordinate systems in vtk are as follows:

  DISPLAY -             x-y pixel values in window
  NORMALIZED DISPLAY -  x-y (0,1) normalized values
  VIEWPORT -            x-y pixel values in viewport
  NORMALIZED VIEWPORT - x-y (0,1) normalized value in viewport
  VIEW -                x-y-z (-1,1) values in camera coordinates. (z is depth)
  WORLD -               x-y-z global coordinate values
  USERDEFINED -         x-y-z in User defined space

If you cascade vtkCoordinate objects, you refer to another vtkCoordinate object which in turn can refer to others, and so on. This allows you to create composite groups of things like vtkActor2D that are positioned relative to one another. Note that in cascaded sequences, each vtkCoordinate object may be specified in different coordinate systems!

virtual const char* vtkCoordinate::GetClassName  )  [virtual]
 

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

static int vtkCoordinate::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 vtkTypeRevisionMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

virtual int vtkCoordinate::IsA const char *  type  )  [virtual]
