Detailed Description

abstract superclass for cells requiring an explicit representation

vtkExplicitCell is an abstract superclass for cells that cannot be represented implicitly. An implicit representation requires only a cell type and connectivity list (e.g., triangle). Explicit cells require information beyond this; e.g., a NURBS surface or cells that require explicit face/edge descriptions. Most cells in VTK are implicitly represented.

Member Function Documentation

static int vtkExplicitCell::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 vtkNonLinearCell.

virtual int vtkExplicitCell::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 vtkNonLinearCell.

virtual vtkObjectBase* vtkExplicitCell::NewInstanceInternal ( ) const [protected, virtual]

Reimplemented from vtkNonLinearCell.

void vtkExplicitCell::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 vtkNonLinearCell.

virtual int vtkExplicitCell::IsExplicitCell ( ) [inline, virtual]

Explicit cells require additional representational information beyond the usual cell type and connectivity list information. Most cells in VTK are implicit cells. The vtkCell::IsImplicitCell() virtual function is overloaded to reflect this requirement.

Reimplemented from vtkCell.

Definition at line 44 of file vtkExplicitCell.h.

virtual void vtkExplicitCell::SetCellId ( vtkIdType  ) [virtual]

Set/Get the cell id. This is necessary for explicit cells because they often need to keep extra information (typically contained in the cell data of a point set). This information might be things like knot points/weights, boundaries, etc.

virtual vtkIdType vtkExplicitCell::GetCellId ( ) [virtual]

Set/Get the cell id. This is necessary for explicit cells because they often need to keep extra information (typically contained in the cell data of a point set). This information might be things like knot points/weights, boundaries, etc.

virtual void vtkExplicitCell::SetDataSet ( vtkDataSet ) [virtual]

Set/Get the mesh that owns this cell. This is necessary for explicit cells because they often need to keep extra information (typically contained in the cell data of a point set). This information might be things like knot points/weights, boundaries, etc.

virtual vtkDataSet* vtkExplicitCell::GetDataSet ( ) [virtual]

Set/Get the mesh that owns this cell. This is necessary for explicit cells because they often need to keep extra information (typically contained in the cell data of a point set). This information might be things like knot points/weights, boundaries, etc.
