Detailed Description

Abstract interface for N-dimensional arrays.

vtkArray is the root of a hierarchy of arrays that can be used to store data with any number of dimensions. It provides an abstract interface for retrieving and setting array attributes that are independent of the type of values stored in the array - such as the number of dimensions, extents along each dimension, and number of values stored in the array.

To get and set array values, the vtkTypedArray template class derives from vtkArray and provides type-specific methods for retrieval and update.

Two concrete derivatives of vtkTypedArray are provided at the moment: vtkDenseArray and vtkSparseArray, which provide dense and sparse storage for arbitrary-dimension data, respectively. Toolkit users can create their own concrete derivatives that implement alternative storage strategies, such as compressed-sparse-row, etc. You could also create an array that provided read-only access to 'virtual' data, such as an array that returned a Fibonacci sequence, etc.

Member Function Documentation

static int vtkArray::IsTypeOf ( const char *  type)
static
virtual int vtkArray::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 vtkObject.

Reimplemented in vtkTypeTemplate< vtkSparseArray< T >, vtkTypedArray< T > >, vtkTypeTemplate< vtkTypedArray< T >, vtkArray >, and vtkTypeTemplate< vtkDenseArray< T >, vtkTypedArray< T > >.

static
virtual vtkObjectBase* vtkArray::NewInstanceInternal ( ) const
protectedvirtual
vtkArray* vtkArray::NewInstance ( ) const
void vtkArray::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 vtkObject.

Reimplemented in vtkSparseArray< T >, vtkTypedArray< T >, and vtkDenseArray< T >.

static vtkArray* vtkArray::CreateArray ( int  StorageType,
int  ValueType 
)
static

Creates a new array where StorageType is one of vtkArray::DENSE or vtkArray::SPARSE, and ValueType is one of VTK_CHAR, VTK_UNSIGNED_CHAR, VTK_SHORT, VTK_UNSIGNED_SHORT, VTK_INT, VTK_UNSIGNED_INT, VTK_LONG, VTK_UNSIGNED_LONG, VTK_DOUBLE, VTK_ID_TYPE, or VTK_STRING. The caller is responsible for the lifetime of the returned object.

virtual bool vtkArray::IsDense ( )
pure virtual

Returns true iff the underlying array storage is "dense", i.e. that GetSize() and GetNonNullSize() will always return the same value. If not, the array is "sparse".

Implemented in vtkSparseArray< T >, and vtkDenseArray< T >.

void vtkArray::Resize ( const CoordinateT  i)

Resizes the array to the given extents (number of dimensions and size of each dimension). Note that concrete implementations of vtkArray may place constraints on the the extents that they will store, so you cannot assume that GetExtents() will always return the same value passed to Resize(). The contents of the array are undefined after calling Resize() - you should initialize its contents accordingly. In particular, dimension-labels will be undefined, dense array values will be undefined, and sparse arrays will be empty.

void vtkArray::Resize ( const CoordinateT  i,
const CoordinateT  j 
)

Resizes the array to the given extents (number of dimensions and size of each dimension). Note that concrete implementations of vtkArray may place constraints on the the extents that they will store, so you cannot assume that GetExtents() will always return the same value passed to Resize(). The contents of the array are undefined after calling Resize() - you should initialize its contents accordingly. In particular, dimension-labels will be undefined, dense array values will be undefined, and sparse arrays will be empty.

void vtkArray::Resize ( const CoordinateT  i,
const CoordinateT  j,
const CoordinateT  k 
)

Resizes the array to the given extents (number of dimensions and size of each dimension). Note that concrete implementations of vtkArray may place constraints on the the extents that they will store, so you cannot assume that GetExtents() will always return the same value passed to Resize(). The contents of the array are undefined after calling Resize() - you should initialize its contents accordingly. In particular, dimension-labels will be undefined, dense array values will be undefined, and sparse arrays will be empty.

void vtkArray::Resize ( const vtkArrayRange i)

Resizes the array to the given extents (number of dimensions and size of each dimension). Note that concrete implementations of vtkArray may place constraints on the the extents that they will store, so you cannot assume that GetExtents() will always return the same value passed to Resize(). The contents of the array are undefined after calling Resize() - you should initialize its contents accordingly. In particular, dimension-labels will be undefined, dense array values will be undefined, and sparse arrays will be empty.

void vtkArray::Resize ( const vtkArrayRange i,
const vtkArrayRange j 
)

Resizes the array to the given extents (number of dimensions and size of each dimension). Note that concrete implementations of vtkArray may place constraints on the the extents that they will store, so you cannot assume that GetExtents() will always return the same value passed to Resize(). The contents of the array are undefined after calling Resize() - you should initialize its contents accordingly. In particular, dimension-labels will be undefined, dense array values will be undefined, and sparse arrays will be empty.

void vtkArray::Resize ( const vtkArrayRange i,
const vtkArrayRange j,
const vtkArrayRange k 
)

Resizes the array to the given extents (number of dimensions and size of each dimension). Note that concrete implementations of vtkArray may place constraints on the the extents that they will store, so you cannot assume that GetExtents() will always return the same value passed to Resize(). The contents of the array are undefined after calling Resize() - you should initialize its contents accordingly. In particular, dimension-labels will be undefined, dense array values will be undefined, and sparse arrays will be empty.

void vtkArray::Resize ( const vtkArrayExtents extents)

Resizes the array to the given extents (number of dimensions and size of each dimension). Note that concrete implementations of vtkArray may place constraints on the the extents that they will store, so you cannot assume that GetExtents() will always return the same value passed to Resize(). The contents of the array are undefined after calling Resize() - you should initialize its contents accordingly. In particular, dimension-labels will be undefined, dense array values will be undefined, and sparse arrays will be empty.

const vtkArrayRange vtkArray::GetExtent ( DimensionT  dimension)

Returns the extent (valid coordinate range) along the given dimension.

virtual const vtkArrayExtents& vtkArray::GetExtents ( )
pure virtual

Returns the extents (the number of dimensions and size along each dimension) of the array.

Implemented in vtkSparseArray< T >, and vtkDenseArray< T >.

DimensionT vtkArray::GetDimensions ( )

Returns the number of dimensions stored in the array. Note that this is the same as calling GetExtents().GetDimensions().

SizeT vtkArray::GetSize ( )

Returns the number of values stored in the array. Note that this is the same as calling GetExtents().GetSize(), and represents the maximum number of values that could ever be stored using the current extents. This is equal to the number of values stored in a dense array, but may be larger than the number of values stored in a sparse array.

virtual SizeT vtkArray::GetNonNullSize ( )
pure virtual

Returns the number of non-null values stored in the array. Note that this value will equal GetSize() for dense arrays, and will be less-than-or-equal to GetSize() for sparse arrays.

void vtkArray::SetName ( const vtkStdString name)

Sets the array name.

vtkStdString vtkArray::GetName ( )

virtual void vtkArray::GetCoordinatesN ( const SizeT  n,
vtkArrayCoordinates coordinates 
)
pure virtual

Returns the coordinates of the n-th value in the array, where n is in the range [0, GetNonNullSize()). Note that the order in which coordinates are visited is undefined, but is guaranteed to match the order in which values are visited using vtkTypedArray::GetValueN() and vtkTypedArray::SetValueN().

Implemented in vtkSparseArray< T >, and vtkDenseArray< T >.
