Detailed Description

A helper class for interpolating between times during particle tracing.

vtkTemporalInterpolatedVelocityField is a general purpose helper for the temporal particle tracing code (vtkTemporalStreamTracer)

It maintains two copies of vtkCachingInterpolatedVelocityField internally and uses them to obtain velocity values at time T0 and T1.

In fact the class does quite a bit more than this because when the geometry of the datasets is the same at T0 and T1, we can re-use cached cell Ids and weights used in the cell interpolation routines. Additionally, the same weights can be used when interpolating (point) scalar values and computing vorticity etc.

Warning:: vtkTemporalInterpolatedVelocityField is probably not thread safe. A new instance should be created by each thread.
Datasets are added in lists. The list for T1 must be idential to that for T0 in structure/topology and dataset order, and any datasets marked as static, must remain so for all T - changing a dataset from static to dynamic between time steps will result in undefined behaviour (=crash probably)

Member Function Documentation

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

Reimplemented from vtkFunctionSet.

static int vtkTemporalInterpolatedVelocityField::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 vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkFunctionSet.

virtual int vtkTemporalInterpolatedVelocityField::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 vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkFunctionSet.

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

Reimplemented from vtkFunctionSet.

virtual void vtkTemporalInterpolatedVelocityField::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 vtkFunctionSet.

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

Construct a vtkTemporalInterpolatedVelocityField with no initial data set. Caching is on. LastCellId is set to -1.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

virtual int vtkTemporalInterpolatedVelocityField::FunctionValues	(	double *	x,
		double *	u
	)			`[virtual]`

Evaluate the velocity field, f, at (x, y, z, t). For now, t is ignored.

Implements vtkFunctionSet.

int vtkTemporalInterpolatedVelocityField::FunctionValuesAtT	(	int	T,
		double *	x,
		double *	u
	)

Evaluate the velocity field, f, at (x, y, z, t). For now, t is ignored.

void vtkTemporalInterpolatedVelocityField::SelectVectors ( const char * fieldName ) [inline]

If you want to work with an arbitrary vector array, then set its name here. By default this is NULL and the filter will use the active vector array.

Definition at line 88 of file vtkTemporalInterpolatedVelocityField.h.

void vtkTemporalInterpolatedVelocityField::SetDataSetAtTime	(	int	I,
		int	N,
		double	T,
		vtkDataSet *	dataset,
		bool	staticdataset
	)

In order to use this class, two sets of data must be supplied, corresponding to times T1 and T2. Data is added via this function.

bool vtkTemporalInterpolatedVelocityField::GetCachedCellIds	(	vtkIdType	id[2],
		int	ds[2]
	)

Between iterations of the Particle Tracer, Id's of the Cell are stored and then at the start of the next particle the Ids are set to 'pre-fill' the cache.

void vtkTemporalInterpolatedVelocityField::SetCachedCellIds	(	vtkIdType	id[2],
		int	ds[2]
	)

Between iterations of the Particle Tracer, Id's of the Cell are stored and then at the start of the next particle the Ids are set to 'pre-fill' the cache.

void vtkTemporalInterpolatedVelocityField::ClearCache ( )

Set the last cell id to -1 so that the next search does not start from the previous cell

int vtkTemporalInterpolatedVelocityField::TestPoint ( double * x )

A utility function which evaluates the point at T1, T2 to see if it is inside the data at both times or only one.

int vtkTemporalInterpolatedVelocityField::QuickTestPoint ( double * x )
