Detailed Description

allows operations on any transforms

vtkGeneralTransform is like vtkTransform and vtkPerspectiveTransform, but it will work with any vtkAbstractTransform as input. It is not as efficient as the other two, however, because arbitrary transformations cannot be concatenated by matrix multiplication. Transform concatenation is simulated by passing each input point through each transform in turn.

void vtkGeneralTransform::Concatenate ( vtkAbstractTransform * transform )

Concatenate the specified transform with the current transformation according to PreMultiply or PostMultiply semantics. The concatenation is pipelined, meaning that if any of the transformations are changed, even after Concatenate() is called, those changes will be reflected when you call TransformPoint().

void vtkGeneralTransform::PreMultiply ( ) [inline]

Sets the internal state of the transform to PreMultiply. All subsequent operations will occur before those already represented in the current transformation. In homogeneous matrix notation, M = M*A where M is the current transformation matrix and A is the applied matrix. The default is PreMultiply.
Definition at line 119 of file vtkGeneralTransform.h.
References vtkObject::Modified().

void vtkGeneralTransform::PostMultiply ( ) [inline]

Sets the internal state of the transform to PostMultiply. All subsequent operations will occur after those already represented in the current transformation. In homogeneous matrix notation, M = A*M where M is the current transformation matrix and A is the applied matrix. The default is PreMultiply.

Definition at line 138 of file vtkGeneralTransform.h.

vtkAbstractTransform* vtkGeneralTransform::GetConcatenatedTransform ( int i ) [inline]

Get one of the concatenated transformations as a vtkAbstractTransform. These transformations are applied, in series, every time the transformation of a coordinate occurs.

Definition at line 149 of file vtkGeneralTransform.h.

void vtkGeneralTransform::SetInput ( vtkAbstractTransform * input )

Set the input for this transformation. This will be used as the base transformation if it is set. This method allows you to build a transform pipeline: if the input is modified, then this transformation will automatically update accordingly. Note that the InverseFlag, controlled via Inverse(), determines whether this transformation will use the Input or the inverse of the Input.

vtkAbstractTransform* vtkGeneralTransform::GetInput ( ) [inline]

Set the input for this transformation. This will be used as the base transformation if it is set. This method allows you to build a transform pipeline: if the input is modified, then this transformation will automatically update accordingly. Note that the InverseFlag, controlled via Inverse(), determines whether this transformation will use the Input or the inverse of the Input.
Definition at line 170 of file vtkGeneralTransform.h.

int vtkGeneralTransform::GetInverseFlag ( ) [inline]

Get the inverse flag of the transformation. This controls whether it is the Input or the inverse of the Input that is used as the base transformation. The InverseFlag is flipped every time Inverse() is called. The InverseFlag is off when a transform is first created.
Definition at line 178 of file vtkGeneralTransform.h.

void vtkGeneralTransform::Push ( ) [inline]

Pushes the current transformation onto the transformation stack.
Definition at line 184 of file vtkGeneralTransform.h.

float out[3],

) [virtual]

This will calculate the transformation as well as its derivative without calling Update. Meant for use only within other VTK classes.
Implements vtkAbstractTransform.

void vtkGeneralTransform::InternalTransformDerivative ( const double in[3],

double out[3],

double derivative[3][3]

) [virtual]

This will calculate the transformation as well as its derivative without calling Update. Meant for use only within other VTK classes.
Implements vtkAbstractTransform.

int vtkGeneralTransform::CircuitCheck ( vtkAbstractTransform * transform ) [virtual]

Check for self-reference. Will return true if concatenating with the specified transform, setting it to be our inverse, or setting it to be our input will create a circular reference. CircuitCheck is automatically called by SetInput(), SetInverse(), and Concatenate(vtkXTransform *). Avoid using this function, it is experimental.
Reimplemented from vtkAbstractTransform.

vtkAbstractTransform* vtkGeneralTransform::MakeTransform ( ) [virtual]

Make another transform of the same type.
Implements vtkAbstractTransform.
