Detailed Description

create a polygonal sphere centered at the origin.

Date:
2000/12/10 20:08:52
Revision:
1.44

vtkSphereSource creates a sphere (represented by polygons) of specified radius centered at the origin. The resolution (polygonal discretization) in both the latitude (phi) and longitude (theta) directions can be specified. It also is possible to create partial spheres by specifying maximum phi and theta angles.

Warning:
Resolution means the number of latitude or longitude lines for a complete sphere. If you create partial spheres the number of latitude/longitude lines may be off by one.

Member Function Documentation

virtual const char* vtkSphereSource::GetClassName   [virtual]
 

Return the class name as a string. This method is defined in all subclasses of vtkObject with the vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkPolyDataSource.

int vtkSphereSource::IsTypeOf const char *    type [static]
 

Return 1 if this class type 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 vtkPolyDataSource.

virtual int vtkSphereSource::IsA const char *    type [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 vtkPolyDataSource.

vtkSphereSource* vtkSphereSource::SafeDownCast vtkObject   o [static]
 

Will cast the supplied object to vtkObject* is this is a safe operation (i.e., a safe downcast); otherwise NULL is returned. This method is defined in all subclasses of vtkObject with the vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkPolyDataSource.

void vtkSphereSource::PrintSelf ostream &    os,
vtkIndent    indent
[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 vtkSource.

vtkSphereSource* vtkSphereSource::New   [static]
 

Construct sphere with radius=0.5 and default resolution 8 in both Phi and Theta directions. Theta ranges from (0,360) and phi (0,180) degrees.

Reimplemented from vtkPolyDataSource.

virtual void vtkSphereSource::SetRadius float    [virtual]
 

Set radius of sphere. Default is .5.

virtual float vtkSphereSource::GetRadius   [virtual]
 

virtual void vtkSphereSource::SetCenter float   ,
float   ,
float   
[virtual]
 

Set the center of the sphere. Default is 0,0,0.

virtual void vtkSphereSource::SetCenter float   [3] [virtual]
 

virtual float* vtkSphereSource::GetCenter   [virtual]
 

virtual void vtkSphereSource::GetCenter float    data[3] [virtual]
 

virtual void vtkSphereSource::SetThetaResolution int    [virtual]
 

Set the number of points in the longitude direction (ranging from StartTheta to EndTheta).

virtual int vtkSphereSource::GetThetaResolution   [virtual]
 

virtual void vtkSphereSource::SetPhiResolution int    [virtual]
 

Set the number of points in the latitude direction (ranging from StartPhi to EndPhi).

virtual int vtkSphereSource::GetPhiResolution   [virtual]
 

virtual void vtkSphereSource::SetStartTheta float    [virtual]
 

Set the starting longitude angle. By default StartTheta=0 degrees.

virtual float vtkSphereSource::GetStartTheta   [virtual]
 

virtual void vtkSphereSource::SetEndTheta float    [virtual]
 

Set the ending longitude angle. By default EndTheta=360 degrees.

virtual float vtkSphereSource::GetEndTheta   [virtual]
 

virtual void vtkSphereSource::SetStartPhi float    [virtual]
 

Set the starting latitude angle (0 is at north pole). By default StartPhi=0 degrees.

virtual float vtkSphereSource::GetStartPhi   [virtual]
 

virtual void vtkSphereSource::SetEndPhi float    [virtual]
 

Set the ending latitude angle. By default EndPhi=180 degrees.

virtual float vtkSphereSource::GetEndPhi   [virtual]
 

void vtkSphereSource::operator= const vtkSphereSource &    [inline, protected]
 

Definition at line 117 of file vtkSphereSource.h.

void vtkSphereSource::Execute   [protected, virtual]
 

Reimplemented from vtkSource.

void vtkSphereSource::ExecuteInformation   [protected, virtual]
 

Reimplemented from vtkSource.
