Detailed Description

Superclass for algorithms that produce only Selection as output.

vtkSelectionAlgorithm is a convenience class to make writing algorithms easier. It is also designed to help transition old algorithms to the new pipeline edgehitecture. There 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 class constructor for the default. This class also provides a FillInputPortInfo method that by default says that all inputs will be Selection. If that isn't the case then please override this method in your subclass. This class breaks out the downstream requests into separate 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.

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

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

Reimplemented from vtkAlgorithm.

Reimplemented in vtkAppendSelection, vtkConvertSelection, vtkKdTreeSelector, vtkSelectionLink, vtkSelectionSource, vtkBoostKruskalMinimumSpanningTree, and vtkConvertSelectionDomain.

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

static int vtkSelectionAlgorithm::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 vtkAlgorithm.

Reimplemented in vtkAppendSelection, vtkConvertSelection, vtkKdTreeSelector, vtkSelectionLink, vtkSelectionSource, vtkBoostKruskalMinimumSpanningTree, and vtkConvertSelectionDomain.

virtual int vtkSelectionAlgorithm::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 vtkAlgorithm.

Reimplemented in vtkAppendSelection, vtkConvertSelection, vtkKdTreeSelector, vtkSelectionLink, vtkSelectionSource, vtkBoostKruskalMinimumSpanningTree, and vtkConvertSelectionDomain.

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

void vtkSelectionAlgorithm::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 vtkAppendSelection, vtkConvertSelection, vtkKdTreeSelector, vtkSelectionLink, vtkSelectionSource, vtkBoostKruskalMinimumSpanningTree, and vtkConvertSelectionDomain.

virtual int vtkSelectionAlgorithm::ProcessRequest ( vtkInformation ,
vtkInformationVector **  ,
vtkInformationVector  
) [virtual]

see vtkAlgorithm for details

Reimplemented from vtkAlgorithm.

vtkSelection* vtkSelectionAlgorithm::GetOutput (  )  [inline]

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

Definition at line 64 of file vtkSelectionAlgorithm.h.

vtkSelection* vtkSelectionAlgorithm::GetOutput ( int  index  ) 

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

void vtkSelectionAlgorithm::SetInput ( vtkDataObject obj  )  [inline]

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.

Definition at line 76 of file vtkSelectionAlgorithm.h.

void vtkSelectionAlgorithm::SetInput ( int  index,
vtkDataObject obj 
)

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.

Reimplemented in vtkSelectionSource.

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

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

Reimplemented in vtkAppendSelection, vtkConvertSelection, vtkKdTreeSelector, vtkSelectionLink, vtkSelectionSource, vtkBoostKruskalMinimumSpanningTree, and vtkConvertSelectionDomain.

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

virtual int vtkSelectionAlgorithm::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 in vtkSelectionLink, and vtkBoostKruskalMinimumSpanningTree.

virtual int vtkSelectionAlgorithm::FillInputPortInformation ( int  port,
