Detailed Description

ray-cast cell picker for all kinds of Prop3Ds

vtkCellPicker will shoot a ray into a 3D scene and return information about the first object that the ray hits. It works for all Prop3Ds. For vtkVolume objects, it shoots a ray into the volume and returns the point where the ray intersects an isosurface of a chosen opacity. For vtkImageActor objects, it intersects the ray with the displayed slice. For vtkActor objects, it intersects the actor's polygons. If the object's mapper has ClippingPlanes, then it takes the clipping into account, and will return the Id of the clipping plane that was intersected. For all prop types, it returns point and cell information, plus the normal of the surface that was intersected at the pick position. For volumes and images, it also returns (i,j,k) coordinates for the point and the cell that were picked.

void vtkCellPicker::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 vtkPicker.

Reimplemented in vtkVolumePicker.

virtual int vtkCellPicker::Pick ( double  selectionX,
double  selectionY,
double  selectionZ,
vtkRenderer renderer 
) [virtual]

Perform pick operation with selection point provided. Normally the first two values are the (x,y) pixel coordinates for the pick, and the third value is z=0. The return value will be non-zero if something was successfully picked.

Reimplemented from vtkPicker.

void vtkCellPicker::AddLocator ( vtkAbstractCellLocator locator  ) 

Add a locator for one of the data sets that will be included in the scene. You must set up the locator with exactly the same data set that was input to the mapper of one or more of the actors in the scene. As well, you must either build the locator before doing the pick, or you must turn on LazyEvaluation in the locator to make it build itself on the first pick. Note that if you try to add the same locator to the picker twice, the second addition will be ignored.

void vtkCellPicker::RemoveLocator ( vtkAbstractCellLocator locator  ) 

Remove a locator that was previously added. If you try to remove a nonexistent locator, then nothing will happen and no errors will be raised.

void vtkCellPicker::RemoveAllLocators (  ) 

Remove all locators associated with this picker.

virtual void vtkCellPicker::SetVolumeOpacityIsovalue ( double   )  [virtual]

Set the opacity isovalue to use for defining volume surfaces. The pick will occur at the location along the pick ray where the opacity of the volume is equal to this isovalue. If you want to do the pick based on an actual data isovalue rather than the opacity, then pass the data value through the scalar opacity function before using this method.

virtual double vtkCellPicker::GetVolumeOpacityIsovalue (  )  [virtual]

Set the opacity isovalue to use for defining volume surfaces. The pick will occur at the location along the pick ray where the opacity of the volume is equal to this isovalue. If you want to do the pick based on an actual data isovalue rather than the opacity, then pass the data value through the scalar opacity function before using this method.

virtual void vtkCellPicker::SetUseVolumeGradientOpacity ( int   )  [virtual]

Use the product of the scalar and gradient opacity functions when computing the opacity isovalue, instead of just using the scalar opacity. This parameter is only relevant to volume picking and is off by default.

virtual void vtkCellPicker::UseVolumeGradientOpacityOn (  )  [virtual]

Use the product of the scalar and gradient opacity functions when computing the opacity isovalue, instead of just using the scalar opacity. This parameter is only relevant to volume picking and is off by default.

virtual void vtkCellPicker::UseVolumeGradientOpacityOff (  )  [virtual]

Use the product of the scalar and gradient opacity functions when computing the opacity isovalue, instead of just using the scalar opacity. This parameter is only relevant to volume picking and is off by default.

virtual int vtkCellPicker::GetUseVolumeGradientOpacity (  )  [virtual]

Use the product of the scalar and gradient opacity functions when computing the opacity isovalue, instead of just using the scalar opacity. This parameter is only relevant to volume picking and is off by default.

virtual void vtkCellPicker::SetPickClippingPlanes ( int   )  [virtual]

The PickClippingPlanes setting controls how clipping planes are handled by the pick. If it is On, then the clipping planes become pickable objects, even though they are usually invisible. This means that if the pick ray intersects a clipping plane before it hits anything else, the pick will stop at that clipping plane. The GetProp3D() and GetMapper() methods will return the Prop3D and Mapper that the clipping plane belongs to. The GetClippingPlaneId() method will return the index of the clipping plane so that you can retrieve it from the mapper, or -1 if no clipping plane was picked. The picking of vtkImageActors is not influenced by this setting, since they have no clipping planes.

virtual void vtkCellPicker::PickClippingPlanesOn (  )  [virtual]

The PickClippingPlanes setting controls how clipping planes are handled by the pick. If it is On, then the clipping planes become pickable objects, even though they are usually invisible. This means that if the pick ray intersects a clipping plane before it hits anything else, the pick will stop at that clipping plane. The GetProp3D() and GetMapper() methods will return the Prop3D and Mapper that the clipping plane belongs to. The GetClippingPlaneId() method will return the index of the clipping plane so that you can retrieve it from the mapper, or -1 if no clipping plane was picked. The picking of vtkImageActors is not influenced by this setting, since they have no clipping planes.

virtual void vtkCellPicker::PickClippingPlanesOff (  )  [virtual]

The PickClippingPlanes setting controls how clipping planes are handled by the pick. If it is On, then the clipping planes become pickable objects, even though they are usually invisible. This means that if the pick ray intersects a clipping plane before it hits anything else, the pick will stop at that clipping plane. The GetProp3D() and GetMapper() methods will return the Prop3D and Mapper that the clipping plane belongs to. The GetClippingPlaneId() method will return the index of the clipping plane so that you can retrieve it from the mapper, or -1 if no clipping plane was picked. The picking of vtkImageActors is not influenced by this setting, since they have no clipping planes.

virtual int vtkCellPicker::GetPickClippingPlanes (  )  [virtual]

The PickClippingPlanes setting controls how clipping planes are handled by the pick. If it is On, then the clipping planes become pickable objects, even though they are usually invisible. This means that if the pick ray intersects a clipping plane before it hits anything else, the pick will stop at that clipping plane. The GetProp3D() and GetMapper() methods will return the Prop3D and Mapper that the clipping plane belongs to. The GetClippingPlaneId() method will return the index of the clipping plane so that you can retrieve it from the mapper, or -1 if no clipping plane was picked. The picking of vtkImageActors is not influenced by this setting, since they have no clipping planes.

virtual int vtkCellPicker::GetClippingPlaneId (  )  [virtual]

Get the index of the clipping plane that was intersected during the pick. This will be set regardless of whether PickClippingPlanes is On, all that is required is that the pick intersected a clipping plane of the Prop3D that was picked. The result will be -1 if the Prop3D that was picked has no clipping planes, or if the ray didn't intersect the planes.

virtual double* vtkCellPicker::GetPickNormal (  )  [virtual]

virtual void vtkCellPicker::GetPickNormal ( double  data[3]  )  [virtual]

Return the normal of the picked surface at the PickPosition. If no surface was picked, then a vector pointing back at the camera is returned.

virtual double* vtkCellPicker::GetMapperNormal (  )  [virtual]

Return the normal of the surface at the PickPosition in mapper coordinates. The result is undefined if no prop was picked.

virtual void vtkCellPicker::GetMapperNormal ( double &  ,
