Detailed Description
represents an object (geometry & properties) in a rendered scene
vtkActor is used to represent an entity in a rendering scene. It inherits functions related to the actors position, and orientation from vtkProp. The actor also has scaling and maintains a reference to the defining geometry (i.e., the mapper), rendering properties, and possibly a texture map. vtkActor combines these instance variables into one 4x4 transformation matrix as follows: [x y z 1] = [x y z 1] Translate(-origin) Scale(scale) Rot(y) Rot(x) Rot (z) Trans(origin) Trans(position)

| static vtkActor* vtkActor::New | ( | ) | [static] |
Creates an actor with the following defaults: origin(0,0,0) position=(0,0,0) scale=(1,1,1) visibility=1 pickable=1 dragable=1 orientation=(0,0,0). No user defined matrix and no texture map.

| virtual void vtkActor::GetActors | ( | vtkPropCollection * | ) | [virtual] |
For some exporters and other other operations we must be able to collect all the actors or volumes. These methods are used in that process.
Reimplemented from vtkProp.
| virtual int vtkActor::RenderOpaqueGeometry | ( | vtkViewport * | viewport | ) | [virtual] |
Support the standard render methods.

Reimplemented in vtkAxisActor, vtkCubeAxesActor, and vtkFollower.
| virtual void vtkActor::Render | ( | vtkRenderer * | , |
| vtkMapper * | |||
| ) | [inline, virtual] |
This causes the actor to be rendered. It in turn will render the actor's property, texture map and then mapper. If a property hasn't been assigned, then the actor will create one automatically. Note that a side effect of this method is that the pipeline will be updated.
Reimplemented in vtkQuadricLODActor, vtkLODActor, vtkOpenGLActor, and vtkOpenGLActor.

| void vtkActor::ShallowCopy | ( | vtkProp * | prop | ) | [virtual] |
Shallow copy of an actor. Overloads the virtual vtkProp method.
Reimplemented from vtkProp3D.
Reimplemented in vtkQuadricLODActor, vtkLODActor, vtkAxisFollower, and vtkFollower.
| void vtkActor::ReleaseGraphicsResources | ( | vtkWindow * | ) | [virtual] |
Release any graphics resources that are being consumed by this actor. The parameter window could be used to determine which graphic resources to release.
Reimplemented from vtkProp.

| void vtkActor::SetProperty | ( | vtkProperty * | lut | ) |
Set/Get the property object that controls this actors surface properties. This should be an instance of a vtkProperty object. Every actor must have a property associated with it. If one isn't specified, then one will be generated automatically. Multiple actors can share one property object.

| virtual vtkProperty* vtkActor::MakeProperty | ( | ) | [virtual] |
Create a new property suitable for use with this type of Actor. For example, a vtkMesaActor should create a vtkMesaProperty in this function. The default is to just call vtkProperty::New.
| void vtkActor::SetBackfaceProperty | ( | vtkProperty * | lut | ) |
Set/Get the property object that controls this actors backface surface properties. This should be an instance of a vtkProperty object. If one isn't specified, then the front face properties will be used. Multiple actors can share one property object.
| virtual vtkProperty* vtkActor::GetBackfaceProperty | ( | ) | [virtual] |
Set/Get the property object that controls this actors backface surface properties. This should be an instance of a vtkProperty object. If one isn't specified, then the front face properties will be used. Multiple actors can share one property object.
| virtual void vtkActor::SetTexture | ( | vtkTexture * | ) | [virtual] |
Set/Get the texture object to control rendering texture maps. This will be a vtkTexture object. An actor does not need to have an associated texture map and multiple actors can share one texture.
| virtual vtkTexture* vtkActor::GetTexture | ( | ) | [virtual] |
Set/Get the texture object to control rendering texture maps. This will be a vtkTexture object. An actor does not need to have an associated texture map and multiple actors can share one texture.

Returns the Mapper that this actor is getting its data from.
| void vtkActor::GetBounds | ( | double | bounds[6] | ) | [inline] |
Get the bounds for this Actor as (Xmin,Xmax,Ymin,Ymax,Zmin,Zmax). (The method GetBounds(double bounds[6]) is available from the superclass.)

| virtual void vtkActor::ApplyProperties | ( | ) | [inline, virtual] |
Apply the current properties to all parts that compose this actor. This method is overloaded in vtkAssembly to apply the assemblies' properties to all its parts in a recursive manner. Typically the use of this method is to set the desired properties in the assembly, and then push the properties down to the assemblies parts with ApplyProperties().

Get the actors mtime plus consider its properties and texture if set.
Reimplemented from vtkProp3D.
| virtual unsigned long vtkActor::GetRedrawMTime | ( | ) | [virtual] |

WARNING: INTERNAL METHOD - NOT INTENDED FOR GENERAL USE DO NOT USE THIS METHOD OUTSIDE OF THE RENDERING PROCESS Used by vtkHardwareSelector to determine if the prop supports hardware selection.
