Detailed Description

read binary marching cubes file

vtkMCubesReader is a source object that reads binary marching cubes files. (Marching cubes is an isosurfacing technique that generates many triangles.) The binary format is supported by W. Lorensen's marching cubes program (and the vtkSliceCubes object). The format repeats point coordinates, so this object will merge the points with a vtkLocator object. You can choose to supply the vtkLocator or use the default.

Warning
Binary files assumed written in sun/hp/sgi (i.e., Big Endian) form.
Because points are merged when read, degenerate triangles may be removed. Thus the number of triangles read may be fewer than the number of triangles actually created.
The point merging does not take into account that the same point may have different normals. For example, running vtkPolyDataNormals after vtkContourFilter may split triangles because of the FeatureAngle ivar. Subsequent reading with vtkMCubesReader will merge the points and use the first point's normal. For the most part, this is undesirable.
Normals are generated from the gradient of the data scalar values. Hence the normals may on occasion point in a direction inconsistent with the ordering of the triangle vertices. If this happens, the resulting surface may be "black". Reverse the sense of the FlipNormals boolean flag to correct this.

static
virtual int vtkMCubesReader::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.

void vtkMCubesReader::PrintSelf ( ostream &  os,

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 vtkPolyDataAlgorithm.

static vtkMCubesReader* vtkMCubesReader::New ( )
static

Construct object with FlipNormals turned off and Normals set to true.

virtual void vtkMCubesReader::SetFileName ( const char *  )
virtual

Specify file name of marching cubes file.

virtual char* vtkMCubesReader::GetFileName ( )
virtual

Specify file name of marching cubes file.

virtual void vtkMCubesReader::SetLimitsFileName ( const char *  )
virtual

Set / get the file name of the marching cubes limits file.

virtual char* vtkMCubesReader::GetLimitsFileName ( )
virtual

Set / get the file name of the marching cubes limits file.

virtual void vtkMCubesReader::SetHeaderSize ( int  )
virtual

Specify a header size if one exists. The header is skipped and not used at this time.

virtual int vtkMCubesReader::GetHeaderSize ( )
virtual

Specify a header size if one exists. The header is skipped and not used at this time.

virtual void vtkMCubesReader::SetFlipNormals ( int  )
virtual

Specify whether to flip normals in opposite direction. Flipping ONLY changes the direction of the normal vector. Contrast this with flipping in vtkPolyDataNormals which flips both the normal and the cell point order.

virtual int vtkMCubesReader::GetFlipNormals ( )
virtual

Specify whether to flip normals in opposite direction. Flipping ONLY changes the direction of the normal vector. Contrast this with flipping in vtkPolyDataNormals which flips both the normal and the cell point order.

virtual void vtkMCubesReader::FlipNormalsOn ( )
virtual

Specify whether to flip normals in opposite direction. Flipping ONLY changes the direction of the normal vector. Contrast this with flipping in vtkPolyDataNormals which flips both the normal and the cell point order.

virtual void vtkMCubesReader::FlipNormalsOff ( )
virtual

Specify whether to flip normals in opposite direction. Flipping ONLY changes the direction of the normal vector. Contrast this with flipping in vtkPolyDataNormals which flips both the normal and the cell point order.

virtual void vtkMCubesReader::SetNormals ( int  )
virtual

Specify whether to read normals.

virtual int vtkMCubesReader::GetNormals ( )

Specify whether to read normals.

virtual void vtkMCubesReader::NormalsOn ( )

void vtkMCubesReader::SetDataByteOrderToBigEndian ( )

These methods should be used instead of the SwapBytes methods. They indicate the byte ordering of the file you are trying to read in. These methods will then either swap or not swap the bytes depending on the byte ordering of the machine it is being run on. For example, reading in a BigEndian file on a BigEndian machine will result in no swapping. Trying to read the same file on a LittleEndian machine will result in swapping. As a quick note most UNIX machines are BigEndian while PC's and VAX tend to be LittleEndian. So if the file you are reading in was generated on a VAX or PC, SetDataByteOrderToLittleEndian otherwise SetDataByteOrderToBigEndian.
