Detailed Description

Superclass for algorithms that produce only piecewise function as output.

vtkPiecewiseFunctionAlgorithm is a convenience class to make writing algorithms easier. It is also designed to help transition old algorithms to the new pipeline architecture. Ther are some assumptions and defaults made by this class you should be aware of. This class defaults such that your filter will have one input port and one output port. If that is not the case simply change it with SetNumberOfInputPorts etc. See this classes constructor for the default. This class also provides a FillInputPortInfo method that by default says that all inputs will be PiecewiseFunction. If that isn't the case then please override this method in your subclass. This class breaks out the downstream requests into seperate functions such as ExecuteData and ExecuteInformation. For new algorithms you should implement RequestData( request, inputVec, outputVec) but for older filters there is a default implementation that calls the old ExecuteData(output) signature, for even older filters that don;t implement ExecuteData the default implementation calls the even older Execute() signature.

Member Function Documentation

static vtkPiecewiseFunctionAlgorithm* vtkPiecewiseFunctionAlgorithm::New (  )  [static]

Create an object with Debug turned off, modified time initialized to zero, and reference counting on.

Reimplemented from vtkAlgorithm.

Reimplemented in vtkPiecewiseFunctionShiftScale.

virtual const char* vtkPiecewiseFunctionAlgorithm::GetClassName (  )  [virtual]

Reimplemented from vtkAlgorithm.

Reimplemented in vtkPiecewiseFunctionShiftScale.

static int vtkPiecewiseFunctionAlgorithm::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.

virtual int vtkPiecewiseFunctionAlgorithm::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.

void vtkPiecewiseFunctionAlgorithm::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 vtkAlgorithm.

Reimplemented in vtkPiecewiseFunctionShiftScale.

vtkDataObject* vtkPiecewiseFunctionAlgorithm::GetOutput (  ) 

Get the output data object for a port on this algorithm.

vtkDataObject* vtkPiecewiseFunctionAlgorithm::GetOutput ( int   ) 

Get the output data object for a port on this algorithm.

virtual void vtkPiecewiseFunctionAlgorithm::SetOutput ( vtkDataObject d  )  [virtual]

Get the output data object for a port on this algorithm.

virtual int vtkPiecewiseFunctionAlgorithm::ProcessRequest ( vtkInformation ,
vtkInformationVector **  ,

see vtkAlgorithm for details

Reimplemented from vtkAlgorithm.

vtkDataObject* vtkPiecewiseFunctionAlgorithm::GetInput (  ) 

vtkDataObject* vtkPiecewiseFunctionAlgorithm::GetInput ( int  port  ) 

void vtkPiecewiseFunctionAlgorithm::SetInput ( vtkDataObject  ) 

Set an input of this algorithm. You should not override these methods because they are not the only way to connect a pipeline. Note that these methods support old-style pipeline connections. When writing new code you should use the more general vtkAlgorithm::SetInputConnection(). These methods transform the input index to the input port index, not an index of a connection within a single port.

void vtkPiecewiseFunctionAlgorithm::SetInput ( int  ,
vtkDataObject  
)

Set an input of this algorithm. You should not override these methods because they are not the only way to connect a pipeline. Note that these methods support old-style pipeline connections. When writing new code you should use the more general vtkAlgorithm::SetInputConnection(). These methods transform the input index to the input port index, not an index of a connection within a single port.

void vtkPiecewiseFunctionAlgorithm::AddInput ( vtkDataObject  ) 

Add an input of this algorithm. Note that these methods support old-style pipeline connections. When writing new code you should use the more general vtkAlgorithm::AddInputConnection(). See SetInput() for details.

void vtkPiecewiseFunctionAlgorithm::AddInput ( int  ,
vtkDataObject  
)

Add an input of this algorithm. Note that these methods support old-style pipeline connections. When writing new code you should use the more general vtkAlgorithm::AddInputConnection(). See SetInput() for details.

virtual int vtkPiecewiseFunctionAlgorithm::RequestData ( vtkInformation request,
vtkInformationVector **  inputVector,
vtkInformationVector outputVector 
) [protected, virtual]

This is called by the superclass. This is the method you should override.

Reimplemented in vtkPiecewiseFunctionShiftScale.

int vtkPiecewiseFunctionAlgorithm::UpdateExtentIsEmpty ( vtkDataObject output  )  [protected]

This detects when the UpdateExtent will generate no data. This condition is satisfied when the UpdateExtent has zero volume (0,-1,...) or the UpdateNumberOfPieces is 0. The source uses this call to determine whether to call Execute.

Reimplemented from vtkAlgorithm.

virtual void vtkPiecewiseFunctionAlgorithm::ExecuteData ( vtkDataObject output  )  [protected, virtual]

This method is the old style execute method

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

This method is the old style execute method

virtual int vtkPiecewiseFunctionAlgorithm::FillOutputPortInformation ( int  port,
vtkInformation info 
) [protected, virtual]

Fill the output port information objects for this algorithm. This is invoked by the first call to GetOutputPortInformation for each port so subclasses can specify what they can handle.

Reimplemented from vtkAlgorithm.

virtual int vtkPiecewiseFunctionAlgorithm::FillInputPortInformation ( int  port,
vtkInformation info 
) [protected, virtual]

Fill the input port information objects for this algorithm. This is invoked by the first call to GetInputPortInformation for each port so subclasses can specify what they can handle.
