Detailed Description

interpolate a series of transformation matrices

This class is used to interpolate a series of 4x4 transformation matrices. Position, scale and orientation (i.e., rotations) are interpolated separately, and can be interpolated linearly or with a spline function. Note that orientation is interpolated using quaternions via SLERP (spherical linear interpolation) or the special vtkQuaternionSpline class.

To use this class, specify at least two pairs of (t,transformation matrix) with the AddTransform() method. Then interpolated the transforms with the InterpolateTransform(t,transform) method, where "t" must be in the range of (min,max) times specified by the AddTransform() method.

By default, spline interpolation is used for the interpolation of the transformation matrices. The position, scale and orientation of the matrices are interpolated with instances of the classes vtkTupleInterpolator (position,scale) and vtkQuaternionInterpolator (rotation). The user can override the interpolation behavior by gaining access to these separate interpolation classes. These interpolator classes (vtkTupleInterpolator and vtkQuaternionInterpolator) can be modified to perform linear versus spline interpolation, and/or different spline basis functions can be specified.

Warning: The interpolator classes are initialized when the InterpolateTransform() is called. Any changes to the interpolators, or additions to the list of transforms to be interpolated, causes a reinitialization of the interpolators the next time InterpolateTransform() is invoked. Thus the best performance is obtained by 1) configuring the interpolators, 2) adding all the transforms, and 3) finally performing interpolation.

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.

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.

static vtkTransformInterpolator* vtkTransformInterpolator::New ( )

static

Instantiate the class.

int vtkTransformInterpolator::GetNumberOfTransforms ( )

Return the number of transforms in the list of transforms.

double vtkTransformInterpolator::GetMinimumT ( )

Obtain some information about the interpolation range.

The numbers returned (corresponding to parameter t, usually thought of as time) are undefined if the list of transforms is empty.

double vtkTransformInterpolator::GetMaximumT ( )

Obtain some information about the interpolation range.

The numbers returned (corresponding to parameter t, usually thought of as time) are undefined if the list of transforms is empty.

void vtkTransformInterpolator::Initialize ( )

Clear the list of transforms.

void vtkTransformInterpolator::AddTransform	(	double	t,
		vtkTransform *	xform
	)

Add another transform to the list of transformations defining the transform function.

Note that using the same time t value more than once replaces the previous transform value at t. At least two transforms must be added to define a function. There are variants to this method depending on whether you are adding a vtkTransform, vtkMaxtirx4x4, and/or vtkProp3D.

void vtkTransformInterpolator::AddTransform	(	double	t,
		vtkMatrix4x4 *	matrix
	)

Add another transform to the list of transformations defining the transform function.

Note that using the same time t value more than once replaces the previous transform value at t. At least two transforms must be added to define a function. There are variants to this method depending on whether you are adding a vtkTransform, vtkMaxtirx4x4, and/or vtkProp3D.

void vtkTransformInterpolator::AddTransform	(	double	t,
		vtkProp3D *	prop3D
	)

Add another transform to the list of transformations defining the transform function.

Note that using the same time t value more than once replaces the previous transform value at t. At least two transforms must be added to define a function. There are variants to this method depending on whether you are adding a vtkTransform, vtkMaxtirx4x4, and/or vtkProp3D.

void vtkTransformInterpolator::RemoveTransform ( double t )

Delete the transform at a particular parameter t.

If there is no transform defined at location t, then the method does nothing.

void vtkTransformInterpolator::InterpolateTransform	(	double	t,
		vtkTransform *	xform
	)

Interpolate the list of transforms and determine a new transform (i.e., fill in the transformation provided).

If t is outside the range of (min,max) values, then t is clamped.

These are convenience methods to switch between linear and spline interpolation.

The methods simply forward the request for linear or spline interpolation to the position, scale and orientation interpolators. Note that if the InterpolationType is set to "Manual", then the interpolators are expected to be directly manipulated and this class does not forward the request for interpolation type to its interpolators.
