Detailed Description

Abstract superclass for all arrays.

vtkAbstractArray is an abstract superclass for data array objects. This class defines an API that all subclasses must support. The data type must be assignable and copy-constructible, but no other assumptions about its type are made. Most of the subclasses of this array deal with numeric data either as scalars or tuples of scalars. A program can use the IsNumeric() method to check whether an instance of vtkAbstractArray contains numbers. It is also possible to test for this by attempting to SafeDownCast an array to an instance of vtkDataArray, although this assumes that all numeric arrays will always be descended from vtkDataArray.

Every array has a character-string name. The naming of the array occurs automatically when it is instantiated, but you are free to change this name using the SetName() method. (The array name is used for data manipulation.)

virtual void vtkAbstractArray::InterpolateTuple ( vtkIdType  i,
vtkIdType  id1,
vtkAbstractArray source1,
vtkIdType  id2,
vtkAbstractArray source2,
double  t 
) [pure virtual]

Insert the ith tuple in this array as interpolated from the two values, p1 and p2, and an interpolation factor, t. The interpolation factor ranges from (0,1), with t=0 located at p1. This method assumes that the three arrays are of the same type. p1 is value at index id1 in source1, while, p2 is value at index id2 in source2.

Implemented in vtkVariantArray, vtkDataArray, vtkStringArray, and vtkUnicodeStringArray.

virtual void vtkAbstractArray::Squeeze ( ) [pure virtual]

int   vtkNotUsedsave 
) [pure virtual]

This method lets the user specify data to be held by the array. The array argument is a pointer to the data. size is the size of the array supplied by the user. Set save to 1 to keep the class from deleting the array when it cleans up or reallocates memory. The class uses the actual array provided; it does not copy the data from the supplied array.

virtual void vtkAbstractArray::ExportToVoidPointer ( void *  vtkNotUsedout_ptr) [inline, virtual]

This method copies the array data to the void pointer specified by the user. It is up to the user to allocate enough memory for the void pointer.

Implemented in vtkVariantArray, vtkUnicodeStringArray, vtkDataArray, and vtkStringArray.

virtual vtkArrayIterator* vtkAbstractArray::NewIterator ( ) [pure virtual]

Subclasses must override this method and provide the right kind of templated vtkArrayIteratorTemplate.

Implemented in vtkDataArrayTemplate< T >, vtkStringArray, vtkBitArray, vtkVariantArray, and vtkUnicodeStringArray.

virtual vtkIdType vtkAbstractArray::GetDataSize ( ) [inline, virtual]

Returns the size of the data in DataTypeSize units. Thus, the number of bytes for the data can be computed by GetDataSize() * GetDataTypeSize(). Non-contiguous or variable- size arrays need to override this method.

Reimplemented in vtkUnicodeStringArray.

virtual void vtkAbstractArray::InsertVariantValue ( vtkIdType  idx,
vtkVariant  value 
) [virtual]

Insert a value into the array from a variant. This method does bounds checking.

virtual void vtkAbstractArray::SetVariantValue ( vtkIdType  idx,
vtkVariant  value 
) [pure virtual]

Set a value in the array from a variant. This method does NOT do bounds checking.

Implemented in vtkVariantArray, vtkStringArray, vtkDataArrayTemplate< T >, vtkBitArray, and vtkUnicodeStringArray.

virtual void vtkAbstractArray::DataChanged ( ) [pure virtual]

Tell the array explicitly that the data has changed. This is only necessary to call when you modify the array contents without using the array's API (i.e. you retrieve a pointer to the data and modify the array contents). You need to call this so that the fast lookup will know to rebuild itself. Otherwise, the lookup functions will give incorrect results.

Implemented in vtkStringArray, vtkDataArrayTemplate< T >, vtkVariantArray, vtkBitArray, and vtkUnicodeStringArray.

virtual void vtkAbstractArray::ClearLookup ( ) [pure virtual]

Delete the associated fast lookup data structure on this array, if it exists. The lookup will be rebuilt on the next call to a lookup function.

Implemented in vtkStringArray, vtkDataArrayTemplate< T >, vtkVariantArray, vtkBitArray, and vtkUnicodeStringArray.

virtual void vtkAbstractArray::GetProminentComponentValues ( int  comp,
vtkVariantArray values,
double  uncertainty = 1.e-6,
double  minimumProminence = 1.e-3 
) [virtual]

Populate the given vtkVariantArray with a set of distinct values taken on by the requested component (or, when passed -1, by the tuples as a whole). If the set of prominent values has more than 32 entries, then the array is assumed to be continuous in nature and no values are returned. This method takes 2 parameters: uncertainty and minimumProminence. Note that this set of returned values may not be complete if uncertainty and minimumProminence are both larger than 0.0; in order to perform interactively, a subsample of the array is used to determine the set of values. The first parameter (uncertainty, U) is the maximum acceptable probability that a prominent value will not be detected. Setting this to 0 will cause every value in the array to be examined. The second parameter (minimumProminence, P) specifies the smallest relative frequency (in [0,1]) with which a value in the array may occur and still be considered prominent. Setting this to 0 will force every value in the array to be traversed. Using numbers close to 0 for this parameter quickly causes the number of samples required to obtain the given uncertainty to subsume the entire array, as rare occurrences require frequent sampling to detect. For an array with T tuples and given uncertainty U and mininumum prominence P, we sample N values, with N = f(T; P, U). We want f to be sublinear in T in order to interactively handle large arrays; in practice, we can make f independent of T: $ N >= \frac{5}{P}\mathrm{ln}\left(\frac{1}{PU}) $, but note that small values of P are costly to achieve. The default parameters will locate prominent values that occur at least 1 out of every 1000 samples with a confidence of 0.999999 (= 1 - 1e6). Thanks to Seshadri Comandur (Sandia National Laboratories) for the bounds on the number of samples. The first time this is called, the array is examined and unique values are stored in the vtkInformation object associated with the array. The list of unique values will be updated on subsequent calls only if the array's MTime is newer than the associated vtkInformation object or if better sampling (lower uncertainty or minimumProminence) is requested. The DISCRETE_VALUE_SAMPLE_PARAMETERS() information key is used to store the numbers which produced any current set of prominent values. Also, note that every value encountered is reported and counts toward the maximum of 32 distinct values, regardless of the value's frequency. This is required for an efficient implementation. Use the vtkOrderStatistics filter if you wish to threshold the set of distinct values to eliminate "unprominent" (infrequently-occurring) values.

Get an information object that can be used to annotate the array. This will always return an instance of vtkInformation, if one is not currently associated with the array it will be created.

Inquire if this array has an instance of vtkInformation already associated with it.

Definition at line 365 of file vtkAbstractArray.h.

virtual int vtkAbstractArray::CopyInformation ( vtkInformation infoFrom,
int  deep = 1 
) [virtual]

Copy information instance. Arrays use information objects in a variety of ways. It is important to have flexibility in this regard because certain keys should not be coppied, while others must be. NOTE: Subclasses must always call their superclass's CopyInformation method, so that all classes in the hierarchy get a chance to remove keys they do not wish to be coppied. The subclass will not need to explicilty copy the keys as it's handled here.

Reimplemented in vtkDataArray.

This key is a hint to end user interface that this array is internal and should not be shown to the end user.

This key is used to hold a vector of COMPONENT_VALUES (and, for vtkDataArray subclasses, COMPONENT_RANGE) keys -- one for each component of the array. You may add additional per-component key-value pairs to information objects in this vector. However if you do so, you must be sure to either (1) set COMPONENT_VALUES to an invalid variant and set COMPONENT_RANGE to {VTK_DOUBLE_MAX, VTK_DOUBLE_MIN} or (2) call ComputeUniqueValues(component) and ComputeRange(component) before modifying the information object. Otherwise it is possible for modifications to the array to take place without the bounds on the component being updated since the modification time of the vtkInformation object is used to determine when the COMPONENT_RANGE values are out of date.

A key used to hold discrete values taken on either by the tuples of the array (when present in this->GetInformation()) or individual components (when present in one entry of the PER_COMPONENT() information vector).

A key used to hold conditions under which cached discrete values were generated; the value is a 2-vector of doubles. The first entry corresponds to the maximum uncertainty that prominent values exist but have not been detected. The second entry corresponds to the smallest relative frequency a value is allowed to have and still appear on the list.

virtual void vtkAbstractArray::SetInformation ( vtkInformation ) [protected, virtual]

Set an information object that can be used to annotate the array. Use this with caution as array instances depend on persistence of information keys. See CopyInformation.

virtual void vtkAbstractArray::UpdateDiscreteValueSet ( double  uncertainty,
double  minProminence 
) [protected, virtual]

Obtain the set of unique values taken on by each component of the array, as well as by the tuples of the array. The results are stored in the PER_COMPONENT() vtkInformation objects using the DISCRETE_VALUES() key. If the key is present but stores 0 values, the array either has no entries or does not behave as a discrete set. If the key is not present, the array has not been examined for distinct values or has been modified since the last examination.
