Detailed Description

estimate volume, area, shape index of triangle mesh

vtkMassProperties estimates the volume, the surface area, and the normalized shape index of a triangle mesh. The algorithm implemented here is based on the discrete form of the divergence theorem. The general assumption here is that the model is of closed surface. For more details see the following reference (Alyassin A.M. et al, "Evaluation of new algorithms for the interactive measurement of surface area and volume", Med Phys 21(6) 1994.).

Warning:

Currently only triangles are processed. Use vtkTriangleFilter to convert any strips or polygons to triangles.

static vtkMassProperties* vtkMassProperties::New

(

)

[static]

Constructs with initial values of zero.

Reimplemented from vtkPolyDataAlgorithm.

virtual const char* vtkMassProperties::GetClassName

(

)

[virtual]

Reimplemented from vtkPolyDataAlgorithm.

static int vtkMassProperties::IsTypeOf

(

const char *

name

)

[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 vtkPolyDataAlgorithm.

virtual int vtkMassProperties::IsA

(

const char *

name

)

[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 vtkTypeRevisionMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkPolyDataAlgorithm.

static vtkMassProperties* vtkMassProperties::SafeDownCast

(

vtkObject *

o

)

[static]

Reimplemented from vtkPolyDataAlgorithm.

void vtkMassProperties::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 vtkPolyDataAlgorithm.

double vtkMassProperties::GetVolume

(

)

[inline]

Compute and return the volume.

Definition at line 53 of file vtkMassProperties.h.

double vtkMassProperties::GetVolumeProjected

(

)

[inline]

Compute and return the projected volume. Typically you should compare this volume to the value returned by GetVolume if you get an error (GetVolume()-GetVolumeProjected())*10000 that is greater than GetVolume() this should identify a problem: * Either the polydata is not closed * Or the polydata contains triangle that are flipped

double vtkMassProperties::GetVolumeX

(

)

[inline]

Compute and return the volume projected on to each axis aligned plane.

Definition at line 65 of file vtkMassProperties.h.

double vtkMassProperties::GetVolumeY

(

)

[inline]

Compute and return the volume projected on to each axis aligned plane.

Definition at line 66 of file vtkMassProperties.h.

double vtkMassProperties::GetVolumeZ

(

)

[inline]

[inline]

Compute and return the max cell area.

Definition at line 85 of file vtkMassProperties.h.

double vtkMassProperties::GetNormalizedShapeIndex

(

)

[inline]

Compute and return the normalized shape index. This characterizes the deviation of the shape of an object from a sphere. A sphere's NSI is one. This number is always >= 1.0.

virtual int vtkMassProperties::RequestData	(	vtkInformation *	request,
		vtkInformationVector **	inputVector,
		vtkInformationVector *	outputVector
