Detailed Description

superclass for 3D geometric pickers (uses ray cast)

vtkPicker is used to select instances of vtkProp3D by shooting a ray into a graphics window and intersecting with the actor's bounding box. The ray is defined from a point defined in window (or pixel) coordinates, and a point located from the camera's position.

vtkPicker may return more than one vtkProp3D, since more than one bounding box may be intersected. vtkPicker returns an unsorted list of props that were hit, and a list of the corresponding world points of the hits. For the vtkProp3D that is closest to the camera, vtkPicker returns the pick coordinates in world and untransformed mapper space, the prop itself, the data set, and the mapper. For vtkPicker the closest prop is the one whose center point (i.e., center of bounding box) projected on the view ray is closest to the camera. Subclasses of vtkPicker use other methods for computing the pick point.

See also
vtkPicker is used for quick geometric picking. If you desire more precise picking of points or cells based on the geometry of any vtkProp3D, use the subclasses vtkPointPicker or vtkCellPicker. For hardware-accelerated picking of any type of vtkProp, use vtkPropPicker or vtkWorldPointPicker.

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 vtkAbstractPropPicker.

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 vtkAbstractPropPicker.

Reimplemented in vtkVolumePicker, and vtkPointPicker.

virtual void vtkPicker::SetTolerance ( double  )
virtual

Specify tolerance for performing pick operation.

Tolerance is specified as fraction of rendering window size. (Rendering window size is measured across diagonal.)

virtual double vtkPicker::GetTolerance ( )
virtual

Specify tolerance for performing pick operation.

Tolerance is specified as fraction of rendering window size. (Rendering window size is measured across diagonal.)

virtual double* vtkPicker::GetMapperPosition ( )
virtual

Return position in mapper (i.e., non-transformed) coordinates of pick point.

virtual void vtkPicker::GetMapperPosition ( double  data[3])
virtual

Return position in mapper (i.e., non-transformed) coordinates of pick point.

virtual vtkAbstractMapper3D* vtkPicker::GetMapper ( )
virtual

Return mapper that was picked (if any).

virtual vtkDataSet* vtkPicker::GetDataSet ( )
virtual

Get a pointer to the dataset that was picked (if any).

If nothing was picked then NULL is returned.

vtkProp3DCollection* vtkPicker::GetProp3Ds ( )
inline

Return a collection of all the prop 3D's that were intersected by the pick ray.

This collection is not sorted.

Definition at line 101 of file vtkPicker.h.

vtkActorCollection* vtkPicker::GetActors ( )

Return a collection of all the actors that were intersected.

This collection is not sorted. (This is a convenience method to maintain backward compatibility.)

vtkPoints* vtkPicker::GetPickedPositions ( )
inline

Return a list of the points the the actors returned by GetProp3Ds were intersected at.

The order of this list will match the order of GetProp3Ds.

Definition at line 116 of file vtkPicker.h.

virtual int vtkPicker::Pick ( double  selectionX,
double  selectionY,
double  selectionZ,
vtkRenderer renderer 
)
virtual

Perform pick operation with selection point provided.

Normally the first two values for the selection point are x-y pixel coordinate, and the third value is =0. Return non-zero if something was successfully picked.

Implements vtkAbstractPicker.

Reimplemented in vtkCellPicker, and vtkResliceCursorPicker.

int vtkPicker::Pick ( double  selectionPt[3],
vtkRenderer ren 
)
inline

Perform pick operation with selection point provided.

Normally the first two values for the selection point are x-y pixel coordinate, and the third value is =0. Return non-zero if something was successfully picked.
