Detailed Description

abstract class to specify cell behavior

vtkCell is an abstract class that specifies the interfaces for data cells. Data cells are simple topological elements like points, lines, polygons, and tetrahedra of which visualization datasets are composed. In some cases visualization datasets may explicitly represent cells (e.g., vtkPolyData, vtkUnstructuredGrid), and in some cases, the datasets are implicitly composed of cells (e.g., vtkStructuredPoints).

Warning
The #define VTK_CELL_SIZE is a parameter used to construct cells and provide a general guideline for controlling object execution. This parameter is not a hard boundary: you can create cells with more points.

pure virtual

pure virtual
virtual int vtkCell::CellBoundary ( int  subId,
double  pcoords[3],
vtkIdList pts 
)
pure virtual

Given parametric coordinates of a point, return the closest cell boundary, and whether the point is inside or outside of the cell. The cell boundary is defined by a list of points (pts) that specify a face (3D cell), edge (2D cell), or vertex (1D cell). If the return value of the method is != 0, then the point is inside the cell.

Implemented in vtkPolyhedron, vtkConvexPointSet, vtkTriQuadraticHexahedron, vtkBiQuadraticQuadraticHexahedron, vtkTetra, vtkPentagonalPrism, vtkBiQuadraticQuadraticWedge, vtkQuadraticLinearWedge, vtkQuadraticPyramid, vtkBiQuadraticQuad, vtkGenericCell, vtkVertex, vtkPyramid, vtkQuadraticPolygon, vtkWedge, vtkBiQuadraticTriangle, vtkHexagonalPrism, vtkQuadraticTetra, vtkPolyLine, vtkQuadraticLinearQuad, vtkHexahedron, vtkQuadraticWedge, vtkQuadraticHexahedron, vtkVoxel, vtkQuadraticQuad, vtkQuadraticTriangle, vtkQuadraticEdge, vtkCubicLine, vtkPolygon, vtkTriangle, vtkTriangleStrip, vtkQuad, vtkPixel, vtkPolyVertex, vtkLine, and vtkEmptyCell.

virtual int vtkCell::EvaluatePosition ( double  x[3],
double closestPoint,
int subId,
double  pcoords[3],
double dist2,
double weights 
)
pure 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.

Implemented in vtkPolyhedron, vtkConvexPointSet, vtkTriQuadraticHexahedron, vtkBiQuadraticQuadraticHexahedron, vtkQuadraticLinearWedge, vtkQuadraticPolygon, vtkBiQuadraticQuadraticWedge, vtkPentagonalPrism, vtkPolyLine, vtkQuadraticPyramid, vtkTetra, vtkPyramid, vtkWedge, vtkBiQuadraticTriangle, vtkHexahedron, vtkQuadraticTetra, vtkQuadraticLinearQuad, vtkBiQuadraticQuad, vtkGenericCell, vtkQuadraticWedge, vtkHexagonalPrism, vtkQuadraticHexahedron, vtkVoxel, vtkPolygon, vtkTriangleStrip, vtkQuadraticQuad, vtkQuadraticTriangle, vtkQuadraticEdge, vtkCubicLine, vtkPixel, vtkTriangle, vtkPolyVertex, vtkQuad, vtkEmptyCell, vtkVertex, and vtkLine.

double  pcoords[3],
double  x[3],
double weights 
)
pure virtual
virtual void vtkCell::Contour ( double  value,
vtkDataArray cellScalars,
vtkIncrementalPointLocator locator,
vtkCellArray verts,
vtkCellArray lines,
vtkCellArray polys,
vtkPointData inPd,
vtkPointData outPd,
vtkCellData inCd,
vtkIdType  cellId,
vtkCellData outCd 
)
pure virtual

Generate contouring primitives. The scalar list cellScalars are scalar values at each cell point. The point locator is essentially a points list that merges points as they are inserted (i.e., prevents duplicates). Contouring primitives can be vertices, lines, or polygons. It is possible to interpolate point data along the edge by providing input and output point data - if outPd is NULL, then no interpolation is performed. Also, if the output cell data is non-NULL, the cell data from the contoured cell is passed to the generated contouring primitives. (Note: the CopyAllocate() method must be invoked on both the output cell and point data. The cellId refers to the cell from which the cell data is copied.)

Implemented in vtkTriQuadraticHexahedron, vtkBiQuadraticQuadraticHexahedron, vtkPolyhedron, vtkConvexPointSet, vtkBiQuadraticQuad, vtkGenericCell, vtkQuadraticLinearWedge, vtkVertex, vtkBiQuadraticQuadraticWedge, vtkQuadraticPyramid, vtkPyramid, vtkQuadraticPolygon, vtkWedge, vtkBiQuadraticTriangle, vtkQuadraticTetra, vtkPolyLine, vtkQuadraticLinearQuad, vtkHexahedron, vtkQuadraticWedge, vtkQuadraticHexahedron, vtkTetra, vtkVoxel, vtkQuadraticQuad, vtkQuadraticTriangle, vtkQuadraticEdge, vtkCubicLine, vtkPolygon, vtkTriangle, vtkTriangleStrip, vtkCell3D, vtkQuad, vtkPixel, vtkPolyVertex, vtkLine, and vtkEmptyCell.

virtual void vtkCell::Clip ( double  value,
vtkDataArray cellScalars,

vtkCellArray connectivity,
vtkPointData inPd,
vtkPointData outPd,
vtkCellData inCd,
vtkIdType  cellId,
vtkCellData outCd,
int  insideOut 
)
pure virtual

Cut (or clip) the cell based on the input cellScalars and the specified value. The output of the clip operation will be one or more cells of the same topological dimension as the original cell. The flag insideOut controls what part of the cell is considered inside - normally cell points whose scalar value is greater than "value" are considered inside. If insideOut is on, this is reversed. Also, if the output cell data is non-NULL, the cell data from the clipped cell is passed to the generated contouring primitives. (Note: the CopyAllocate() method must be invoked on both the output cell and point data. The cellId refers to the cell from which the cell data is copied.)

Implemented in vtkBiQuadraticQuadraticHexahedron, vtkTriQuadraticHexahedron, vtkPolyhedron, vtkConvexPointSet, vtkQuadraticLinearWedge, vtkBiQuadraticQuad, vtkBiQuadraticQuadraticWedge, vtkQuadraticPyramid, vtkBiQuadraticTriangle, vtkQuadraticTetra, vtkQuadraticWedge, vtkQuadraticHexahedron, vtkQuadraticLinearQuad, vtkCubicLine, vtkQuadraticTriangle, vtkGenericCell, vtkQuadraticQuad, vtkTriangle, vtkQuad, vtkQuadraticEdge, vtkCell3D, vtkQuadraticPolygon, vtkPolyLine, vtkTetra, vtkLine, vtkPolygon, vtkTriangleStrip, vtkPixel, vtkPolyVertex, vtkEmptyCell, and vtkVertex.

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

Intersect with a ray. Return parametric coordinates (both line and cell) and global intersection coordinates, given ray definition p1[3], p2[3] and tolerance tol. The method returns non-zero value if intersection occurs. A parametric distance t between 0 and 1 along the ray representing the intersection point, the point coordinates x[3] in data coordinates and also pcoords[3] in parametric coordinates. subId is the index within the cell if a composed cell like a triangle strip.

Implemented in vtkPolyhedron, vtkBiQuadraticQuadraticHexahedron, vtkTriQuadraticHexahedron, vtkConvexPointSet, vtkTriangle, vtkQuadraticLinearWedge, vtkBiQuadraticQuad, vtkBiQuadraticQuadraticWedge, vtkQuadraticPyramid, vtkBiQuadraticTriangle, vtkQuadraticTetra, vtkCubicLine, vtkQuadraticWedge, vtkQuadraticHexahedron, vtkQuadraticLinearQuad, vtkQuadraticTriangle, vtkQuadraticQuad, vtkVertex, vtkQuadraticEdge, vtkGenericCell, vtkQuadraticPolygon, vtkPentagonalPrism, vtkPolyLine, vtkLine, vtkTetra, vtkPyramid, vtkWedge, vtkHexahedron, vtkHexagonalPrism, vtkVoxel, vtkPixel, vtkPolygon, vtkTriangleStrip, vtkPolyVertex, vtkQuad, and vtkEmptyCell.

virtual int vtkCell::Triangulate ( int  index,
vtkIdList ptIds,
vtkPoints pts 
)
pure 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.

Implemented in vtkPolyhedron, vtkConvexPointSet, vtkBiQuadraticQuadraticHexahedron, vtkTriQuadraticHexahedron, vtkVertex, vtkQuadraticPolygon, vtkGenericCell, vtkPentagonalPrism, vtkPolyLine, vtkQuadraticLinearWedge, vtkBiQuadraticQuadraticWedge, vtkQuadraticPyramid, vtkTetra, vtkPyramid, vtkWedge, vtkHexahedron, vtkBiQuadraticTriangle, vtkQuadraticTetra, vtkHexagonalPrism, vtkVoxel, vtkBiQuadraticQuad, vtkPixel, vtkPolygon, vtkQuadraticLinearQuad, vtkQuadraticWedge, vtkTriangleStrip, vtkQuadraticHexahedron, vtkQuadraticQuad, vtkQuadraticTriangle, vtkQuadraticEdge, vtkCubicLine, vtkPolyVertex, vtkTriangle, vtkQuad, vtkEmptyCell, and vtkLine.

virtual void vtkCell::Derivatives ( int  subId,
double  pcoords[3],
double values,
int  dim,
double derivs 
)
pure 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)).

Implemented in vtkPolyhedron, vtkConvexPointSet, vtkBiQuadraticQuadraticHexahedron, vtkTriQuadraticHexahedron, vtkQuadraticPolygon, vtkVertex, vtkGenericCell, vtkPentagonalPrism, vtkPolyLine, vtkQuadraticLinearWedge, vtkBiQuadraticQuadraticWedge, vtkQuadraticPyramid, vtkTetra, vtkPyramid, vtkWedge, vtkHexahedron, vtkBiQuadraticTriangle, vtkQuadraticTetra, vtkHexagonalPrism, vtkVoxel, vtkBiQuadraticQuad, vtkPixel, vtkPolygon, vtkQuadraticLinearQuad, vtkQuadraticWedge, vtkTriangleStrip, vtkQuadraticHexahedron, vtkQuadraticQuad, vtkQuadraticTriangle, vtkQuadraticEdge, vtkCubicLine, vtkPolyVertex, vtkTriangle, vtkQuad, vtkEmptyCell, and vtkLine.

void vtkCell::GetBounds ( double  bounds[6])

Compute cell bounding box (xmin,xmax,ymin,ymax,zmin,zmax). Copy result into user provided array.

double* vtkCell::GetBounds ( )

Compute cell bounding box (xmin,xmax,ymin,ymax,zmin,zmax). Return pointer to array of six double values.

double vtkCell::GetLength2 ( )

Compute Length squared of cell (i.e., bounding box diagonal squared).

virtual int vtkCell::GetParametricCenter ( double  pcoords[3])
virtual

Return center of the cell in parametric coordinates. Note that the parametric center is not always located at (0.5,0.5,0.5). The return value is the subId that the center is in (if a composite cell). If you want the center in x-y-z space, invoke the EvaluateLocation() method.

Reimplemented in vtkPolyhedron, vtkConvexPointSet, vtkTriangle, vtkQuadraticLinearWedge, vtkBiQuadraticQuadraticWedge, vtkQuadraticPyramid, vtkBiQuadraticQuad, vtkBiQuadraticTriangle, vtkQuadraticTetra, vtkQuadraticWedge, vtkQuadraticLinearQuad, vtkQuadraticTriangle, vtkQuadraticQuad, vtkTetra, vtkQuadraticEdge, vtkGenericCell, vtkPentagonalPrism, vtkPolyLine, vtkCubicLine, vtkPyramid, vtkWedge, vtkVertex, vtkHexagonalPrism, vtkTriangleStrip, vtkLine, vtkPolyVertex, vtkQuad, and vtkPixel.

virtual double vtkCell::GetParametricDistance ( double  pcoords[3])
virtual

Return the distance of the parametric coordinate provided to the cell. If inside the cell, a distance of zero is returned. This is used during picking to get the correct cell picked. (The tolerance will occasionally allow cells to be picked who are not really intersected "inside" the cell.)

Reimplemented in vtkTriangle, vtkBiQuadraticTriangle, vtkQuadraticTetra, vtkQuadraticTriangle, vtkTetra, and vtkCubicLine.

virtual int vtkCell::IsPrimaryCell ( )
inlinevirtual

Return whether this cell type has a fixed topology or whether the topology varies depending on the data (e.g., vtkConvexPointSet). This compares to composite cells that are typically composed of primary cells (e.g., a triangle strip composite cell is made up of triangle primary cells).

Reimplemented in vtkPolyhedron, vtkConvexPointSet, vtkGenericCell, vtkPolyLine, vtkPolygon, vtkTriangleStrip, vtkPolyVertex, and vtkQuadraticPolygon.

Definition at line 287 of file vtkCell.h.

virtual double* vtkCell::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 in vtkBiQuadraticQuadraticHexahedron, vtkTriQuadraticHexahedron, vtkGenericCell, vtkPentagonalPrism, vtkQuadraticLinearWedge, vtkBiQuadraticQuadraticWedge, vtkQuadraticPyramid, vtkTetra, vtkPyramid, vtkWedge, vtkHexahedron, vtkBiQuadraticTriangle, vtkQuadraticTetra, vtkHexagonalPrism, vtkBiQuadraticQuad, vtkPixel, vtkQuadraticLinearQuad, vtkQuadraticWedge, vtkQuadraticHexahedron, vtkQuadraticQuad, vtkQuadraticTriangle, vtkQuadraticEdge, vtkCubicLine, vtkPolyhedron, vtkTriangle, vtkQuad, vtkLine, vtkVertex, vtkConvexPointSet, and vtkVoxel.

)
inlinevirtual

Compute the interpolation functions/derivatives (aka shape functions/derivatives) No-ops at this level. Typically overridden in subclasses.
