Member Function Documentation

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

Construct plane passing through origin and normal to z-axis.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

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

Reimplemented from vtkImplicitFunction.

static int vtkPlane::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 vtkImplicitFunction.

virtual int vtkPlane::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 vtkImplicitFunction.

static vtkPlane* vtkPlane::SafeDownCast ( vtkObject o  )  [static]

Reimplemented from vtkImplicitFunction.

void vtkPlane::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 vtkImplicitFunction.

double vtkPlane::EvaluateFunction ( double  x[3]  )  [virtual]

Evaluate plane equation for point x[3].

Implements vtkImplicitFunction.

double vtkPlane::EvaluateFunction ( double  x,
double  y,
double  z 
) [inline]

Evaluate plane equation for point x[3].

Reimplemented from vtkImplicitFunction.

Definition at line 44 of file vtkPlane.h.

void vtkPlane::EvaluateGradient ( double  x[3],
double  g[3] 
) [virtual]

Evaluate function gradient at point x[3].

Implements vtkImplicitFunction.

virtual void vtkPlane::SetNormal ( double  ,
double  ,
double   
) [virtual]

Set/get plane normal. Plane is defined by point and normal.

virtual void vtkPlane::SetNormal ( double  [3]  )  [virtual]

Set/get plane normal. Plane is defined by point and normal.

virtual double* vtkPlane::GetNormal (  )  [virtual]

Set/get plane normal. Plane is defined by point and normal.

virtual void vtkPlane::GetNormal ( double  data[3]  )  [virtual]

Set/get plane normal. Plane is defined by point and normal.

virtual void vtkPlane::SetOrigin ( double  ,
double  ,
double   
) [virtual]

Set/get point through which plane passes. Plane is defined by point and normal.

virtual void vtkPlane::SetOrigin ( double  [3]  )  [virtual]

Set/get point through which plane passes. Plane is defined by point and normal.

virtual double* vtkPlane::GetOrigin (  )  [virtual]

Set/get point through which plane passes. Plane is defined by point and normal.

virtual void vtkPlane::GetOrigin ( double  data[3]  )  [virtual]

Set/get point through which plane passes. Plane is defined by point and normal.

void vtkPlane::Push ( double  distance  ) 

Translate the plane in the direction of the normal by the distance specified. Negative values move the plane in the opposite direction.

static void vtkPlane::ProjectPoint ( double  x[3],
double  origin[3],
double  normal[3],
double  xproj[3] 
) [static]

Project a point x onto plane defined by origin and normal. The projected point is returned in xproj. NOTE : normal assumed to have magnitude 1.

static void vtkPlane::GeneralizedProjectPoint ( double  x[3],
double  origin[3],
double  normal[3],
double  xproj[3] 
) [static]

Project a point x onto plane defined by origin and normal. The projected point is returned in xproj. NOTE : normal does NOT have to have magnitude 1.

double vtkPlane::Evaluate ( double  normal[3],
double  origin[3],
double  x[3] 
) [inline, static]

Quick evaluation of plane equation n(x-origin)=0.

Definition at line 115 of file vtkPlane.h.

double vtkPlane::DistanceToPlane ( double  x[3],
double  n[3],
double  p0[3] 
) [inline, static]

Return the distance of a point x to a plane defined by n(x-p0) = 0. The normal n[3] must be magnitude=1.

Definition at line 122 of file vtkPlane.h.

static int vtkPlane::IntersectWithLine ( double  p1[3],
double  p2[3],
double  n[3],
double  p0[3],
double &  t,
double  x[3] 
) [static]

Given a line defined by the two points p1,p2; and a plane defined by the normal n and point p0, compute an intersection. The parametric coordinate along the line is returned in t, and the coordinates of intersection are returned in x. A zero is returned if the plane and line do not intersect between (0<=t<=1). If the plane and line are parallel, zero is returned and t is set to VTK_LARGE_DOUBLE.
