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)

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 vtkProp3D.

Reimplemented in vtkLODActor, vtkAxisActor, vtkQuadricLODActor, vtkCubeAxesActor, vtkPolarAxesActor, vtkFollower, vtkAxisFollower, vtkOpenGLActor, and vtkOpenGLActor.

virtual vtkObjectBase* vtkActor::NewInstanceInternal ( ) const

void vtkActor::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 vtkObject.

Reimplemented in vtkLODActor, vtkQuadricLODActor, vtkFollower, vtkOpenGLActor, and vtkOpenGLActor.

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 from vtkProp.

Reimplemented in vtkAxisActor, vtkQuadricLODActor, vtkAxisFollower, vtkLODActor, vtkCubeAxesActor, vtkPolarAxesActor, and vtkFollower.

virtual int vtkActor::RenderTranslucentPolygonalGeometry ( vtkViewport viewport)
virtual

Support the standard render methods.

Reimplemented from vtkProp.

Reimplemented in vtkAxisActor, vtkAxisFollower, vtkCubeAxesActor, vtkPolarAxesActor, and vtkFollower.

virtual int vtkActor::HasTranslucentPolygonalGeometry ( )
virtual

Does this prop have some translucent polygonal geometry?

Reimplemented from vtkProp.

Reimplemented in vtkAxisActor, vtkCubeAxesActor, and vtkFollower.

virtual void vtkActor::Render ( vtkRenderer ,
vtkMapper  
)
inlinevirtual

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.

Definition at line 90 of file vtkActor.h.

void vtkActor::ShallowCopy ( vtkProp prop)
virtual

Shallow copy of an actor.

Overloads the virtual vtkProp method.

Reimplemented from vtkProp.

Reimplemented in vtkQuadricLODActor, vtkLODActor, 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.

Reimplemented in vtkQuadricLODActor, vtkLODActor, and vtkFollower.

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.

vtkProperty* vtkActor::GetProperty ( )

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.

virtual void vtkActor::SetMapper ( vtkMapper )
virtual

This is the method that is used to connect an actor to the end of a visualization pipeline, i.e.

the mapper. This should be a subclass of vtkMapper. Typically vtkPolyDataMapper and vtkDataSetMapper will be used.

virtual vtkMapper* vtkActor::GetMapper ( )
virtual

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.)

Definition at line 163 of file vtkActor.h.

double* vtkActor::GetBounds ( )
virtual

Return a reference to the Prop3D's composite transform.

Get the bounds for this Prop3D as (Xmin,Xmax,Ymin,Ymax,Zmin,Zmax).

Implements vtkProp3D.

virtual void vtkActor::ApplyProperties ( )
inlinevirtual

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().

Definition at line 174 of file vtkActor.h.

vtkMTimeType vtkActor::GetMTime ( )
virtual

Get the actors mtime plus consider its properties and texture if set.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

virtual vtkMTimeType vtkActor::GetRedrawMTime ( )
virtual

Return the mtime of anything that would cause the rendered image to appear differently.

Usually this involves checking the mtime of the prop plus anything else it depends on such as properties, textures, etc.

Reimplemented from vtkProp.

virtual bool vtkActor::GetForceOpaque ( )
virtual

Force the actor to be treated as opaque or translucent.

virtual void vtkActor::SetForceOpaque ( bool  )
virtual

Force the actor to be treated as opaque or translucent.

virtual void vtkActor::ForceOpaqueOn ( )
virtual

Force the actor to be treated as opaque or translucent.

virtual void vtkActor::ForceOpaqueOff ( )
virtual

Force the actor to be treated as opaque or translucent.

virtual bool vtkActor::GetForceTranslucent ( )
virtual

Force the actor to be treated as opaque or translucent.

virtual void vtkActor::SetForceTranslucent ( bool  )
virtual

Force the actor to be treated as opaque or translucent.

virtual void vtkActor::ForceTranslucentOn ( )
virtual

Force the actor to be treated as opaque or translucent.

virtual void vtkActor::ForceTranslucentOff ( )
virtual

Force the actor to be treated as opaque or translucent.

virtual bool vtkActor::GetSupportsSelection ( )
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.

Reimplemented from vtkProp.
