Detailed Description

triangulate any type of dataset

vtkTriangulateDataSet generates n-dimensional simplices from any input dataset. That is, 3D cells are converted to tetrahedral meshes, 2D cells to triangles, and so on. The triangulation is guaranteed to be compatible.

This filter uses simple 1D and 2D triangulation techniques for cells that are of topological dimension 2 or less. For 3D cells--due to the issue of face compatibility across quadrilateral faces (which way to orient the diagonal?)--a fancier ordered Delaunay triangulation is used. This approach produces templates on the fly for triangulating the cells. The templates are then used to do the actual triangulation.

vtkDataSetTriangleFilter::~vtkDataSetTriangleFilter ( ) [protected]

Member Function Documentation

vtkDataSetTriangleFilter* vtkDataSetTriangleFilter::New ( ) [static]

Create an object with Debug turned off, modified time initialized to zero, and reference counting on.
Reimplemented from vtkAlgorithm.

virtual const char* vtkDataSetTriangleFilter::GetClassName ( ) [virtual]

Reimplemented from vtkDataSetToUnstructuredGridFilter.

int vtkDataSetTriangleFilter::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 vtkTypeRevisionMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.
Reimplemented from vtkDataSetToUnstructuredGridFilter.

virtual int vtkDataSetTriangleFilter::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 vtkTypeRevisionMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.
Reimplemented from vtkDataSetToUnstructuredGridFilter.

vtkDataSetTriangleFilter* vtkDataSetTriangleFilter::SafeDownCast ( vtkObject * o ) [static]

Reimplemented from vtkDataSetToUnstructuredGridFilter.

void vtkDataSetTriangleFilter::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 vtkDataSetToUnstructuredGridFilter.

void vtkDataSetTriangleFilter::Execute ( ) [protected, virtual]

This method is the old style execute method
Reimplemented from vtkSource.

void vtkDataSetTriangleFilter::StructuredExecute ( ) [protected]

void vtkDataSetTriangleFilter::UnstructuredExecute ( ) [protected]
