Detailed Description

a 3D cell that represents a prism with hexagonal base

vtkHexagonalPrism is a concrete implementation of vtkCell to represent a linear 3D prism with hexagonal base. Such prism is defined by the twelve points (0-12) where (0,1,2,3,4,5) is the base of the prism which, using the right hand rule, forms a hexagon whose normal points is in the direction of the opposite face (6,7,8,9,10,11).

vtkCell* vtkHexagonalPrism::GetEdge

int

edgeId

)

[virtual]

See the vtkCell API for descriptions of these methods.

Implements vtkCell.

vtkCell* vtkHexagonalPrism::GetFace

(

int

[virtual]

See the vtkCell API for descriptions of these methods.

Implements vtkCell.

int vtkHexagonalPrism::CellBoundary	(	int	subId,
		double	pcoords[3],
		vtkIdList *	pts
	)		[virtual]

See the vtkCell API for descriptions of these methods.

Implements vtkCell.

int vtkHexagonalPrism::EvaluatePosition	(	double	x[3],
		double *	closestPoint,
		int &	subId,
		double	pcoords[3],
		double &	dist2,
		double *	weights
	)		[virtual]

Given a point x[3] return inside(=1), outside(=0) cell, or (-1) computational problem encountered; evaluate parametric coordinates, sub-cell id (!=0 only if cell is composite), distance squared of point x[3] to cell (in particular, the sub-cell indicated), closest point on cell to x[3] (unless closestPoint is null, in which case, the closest point and dist2 are not found), and interpolation weights in cell. (The number of weights is equal to the number of points defining the cell). Note: on rare occasions a -1 is returned from the method. This means that numerical error has occurred and all data returned from this method should be ignored. Also, inside/outside is determine parametrically. That is, a point is inside if it satisfies parametric limits. This can cause problems for cells of topological dimension 2 or less, since a point in 3D can project onto the cell within parametric limits but be "far" from the cell. Thus the value dist2 may be checked to determine true in/out.

Implements vtkCell.

void vtkHexagonalPrism::EvaluateLocation	(	int &	subId,
		double	pcoords[3],
		double	x[3],
		double *	weights
	)		[virtual]

Determine global coordinate (x[3]) from subId and parametric coordinates. Also returns interpolation weights. (The number of weights is equal to the number of points in the cell.)

Implements vtkCell.

int vtkHexagonalPrism::IntersectWithLine	(	double	p1[3],
		double	p2[3],
		double	tol,
		double &	t,
		double	x[3],
		double	pcoords[3],
		int &	subId
	)		[virtual]

Intersect with a ray. Return parametric coordinates (both line and cell) and global intersection coordinates, given ray definition and tolerance. The method returns non-zero value if intersection occurs.

Implements vtkCell.

int vtkHexagonalPrism::Triangulate	(	int	index,
		vtkIdList *	ptIds,
		vtkPoints *	pts
	)		[virtual]

Generate simplices of proper dimension. If cell is 3D, tetrahedron are generated; if 2D triangles; if 1D lines; if 0D points. The form of the output is a sequence of points, each n+1 points (where n is topological cell dimension) defining a simplex. The index is a parameter that controls which triangulation to use (if more than one is possible). If numerical degeneracy encountered, 0 is returned, otherwise 1 is returned. This method does not insert new points: all the points that define the simplices are the points that define the cell.

Implements vtkCell.

void vtkHexagonalPrism::Derivatives	(	int	subId,
		double	pcoords[3],
		double *	values,
		int	dim,
		double *	derivs
	)		[virtual]

Compute derivatives given cell subId and parametric coordinates. The values array is a series of data value(s) at the cell points. There is a one-to-one correspondence between cell point and data value(s). Dim is the number of data values per cell point. Derivs are derivatives in the x-y-z coordinate directions for each data value. Thus, if computing derivatives for a scalar function in a hexahedron, dim=1, 8 values are supplied, and 3 deriv values are returned (i.e., derivatives in x-y-z directions). On the other hand, if computing derivatives of velocity (vx,vy,vz) dim=3, 24 values are supplied ((vx,vy,vz)1, (vx,vy,vz)2, ....()8), and 9 deriv values are returned ((d(vx)/dx),(d(vx)/dy),(d(vx)/dz), (d(vy)/dx),(d(vy)/dy), (d(vy)/dz), (d(vz)/dx),(d(vz)/dy),(d(vz)/dz)).

Implements vtkCell.

double* vtkHexagonalPrism::GetParametricCoords

(

)

[virtual]

Return a contiguous array of parametric coordinates of the points defining this cell. In other words, (px,py,pz, px,py,pz, etc..) The coordinates are ordered consistent with the definition of the point ordering for the cell. This method returns a non-NULL pointer when the cell is a primary type (i.e., IsPrimaryCell() is true). Note that 3D parametric coordinates are returned no matter what the topological dimension of the cell.

Reimplemented from vtkCell.

int vtkHexagonalPrism::GetParametricCenter

(

double

pcoords[3]

)

[inline, virtual]

Return the center of the wedge in parametric coordinates.
