Detailed Description
generate polygonal model of spatial search object (i.e., a vtkLocator)
vtkSpatialRepresentationFilter generates an polygonal representation of a spatial search (vtkLocator) object. The representation varies depending upon the nature of the spatial search object. For example, the representation for vtkOBBTree is a collection of oriented bounding boxes. This input to this filter is a dataset of any type, and the output is polygonal data. You must also specify the spatial search object to use.
Generally spatial search objects are used for collision detection and other geometric operations, but in this filter one or more levels of spatial searchers can be generated to form a geometric approximation to the input data. This is a form of data simplification, generally used to accelerate the rendering process. Or, this filter can be used as a debugging/ visualization aid for spatial search objects.
This filter can generate one or more vtkPolyData blocks corresponding to different levels in the spatial search tree. The block ids range from 0 (root level) to MaximumLevel. Note that the block for level "id" is not computed unless a AddLevel(id) method is issued. Thus, if you desire three levels of output (say 2,4,7), you would have to invoke AddLevel(2), AddLevel(4), and AddLevel(7). If GenerateLeaves is set to true (off by default), all leaf nodes of the locator (which may be at different levels) are computed and stored in block with id MaximumLevel + 1.

Member Function Documentation
| static vtkSpatialRepresentationFilter* vtkSpatialRepresentationFilter::New | ( | ) | [static] |
Create an object with Debug turned off, modified time initialized to zero, and reference counting on.
Reimplemented from vtkMultiBlockDataSetAlgorithm.
| static int vtkSpatialRepresentationFilter::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 vtkMultiBlockDataSetAlgorithm.
| virtual int vtkSpatialRepresentationFilter::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 vtkMultiBlockDataSetAlgorithm.

| void vtkSpatialRepresentationFilter::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 vtkMultiBlockDataSetAlgorithm.
| virtual void vtkSpatialRepresentationFilter::SetSpatialRepresentation | ( | vtkLocator * | ) | [virtual] |
Set/Get the locator that will be used to generate the representation.
| virtual vtkLocator* vtkSpatialRepresentationFilter::GetSpatialRepresentation | ( | ) | [virtual] |
Set/Get the locator that will be used to generate the representation.
| virtual int vtkSpatialRepresentationFilter::GetMaximumLevel | ( | ) | [virtual] |
Get the maximum level that is available. Populated during RequestData().
| void vtkSpatialRepresentationFilter::AddLevel | ( | int | level | ) |
Add a level to be computed.
Remove all levels.
| virtual void vtkSpatialRepresentationFilter::SetGenerateLeaves | ( | bool | ) | [virtual] |
Turn on/off the generation of leaf nodes. Off by default.
| virtual bool vtkSpatialRepresentationFilter::GetGenerateLeaves | ( | ) | [virtual] |
Turn on/off the generation of leaf nodes. Off by default.
| virtual void vtkSpatialRepresentationFilter::GenerateLeavesOn | ( | ) | [virtual] |
Turn on/off the generation of leaf nodes. Off by default.

Turn on/off the generation of leaf nodes. Off by default.
| virtual int vtkSpatialRepresentationFilter::RequestData | ( | vtkInformation * | , |
| vtkInformationVector ** | , | ||
| vtkInformationVector * | |||
| ) | [protected, virtual] |
This is called by the superclass. This is the method you should override.
Reimplemented from vtkMultiBlockDataSetAlgorithm.
| virtual void vtkSpatialRepresentationFilter::ReportReferences | ( | vtkGarbageCollector * | ) | [protected, virtual] |
Reimplemented from vtkAlgorithm.
| virtual int vtkSpatialRepresentationFilter::FillInputPortInformation | ( | int | port, |
| vtkInformation * | info | ||
| ) | [protected, virtual] |
Fill the input port information objects for this algorithm. This is invoked by the first call to GetInputPortInformation for each port so subclasses can specify what they can handle.
