Detailed Description

object provides direct access to cells in vtkCellArray and type information.

Date:

2000/12/10 20:08:07

Revision:

1.17

This class is a supplemental object to vtkCellArray to allow random access into cells as well as representing cell type information. The "location" field is the location in the vtkCellArray list in terms of an integer offset. An integer offset was used instead of a pointer for easy storage and inter-process communication. The type information is defined in the file vtkCellType.h.

Warning:

Sometimes this class is used to pass type information independent of the random access (i.e., location) information. For example, see vtkDataSet::GetCellTypes(). If you use the class in this way, you can use a location value of -1.

Member Function Documentation

vtkCellTypes* vtkCellTypes::New (    )  [static]

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

virtual const char* vtkCellTypes::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 vtkObject.

int vtkCellTypes::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 vtkObject.

virtual int vtkCellTypes::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 vtkObject.

vtkCellTypes* vtkCellTypes::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 vtkObject.

int vtkCellTypes::Allocate (  int    sz = 512, int    ext = 1000 )

Allocate memory for this array. Delete old storage only if necessary.

void vtkCellTypes::InsertCell (  int    id, unsigned char    type, int    loc )

Add a cell at specified id.

int vtkCellTypes::InsertNextCell (  unsigned char    type, int    loc )

Add a cell to the object in the next available slot.

int vtkCellTypes::GetCellLocation (  int    cellId )  [inline]

Return the location of the cell in the associated vtkCellArray. Definition at line 92 of file vtkCellTypes.h.

void vtkCellTypes::DeleteCell (  int    cellId )  [inline]

Delete cell by setting to NULL cell type. Definition at line 95 of file vtkCellTypes.h. Referenced by vtkPolyData::DeleteCell().

int vtkCellTypes::GetNumberOfTypes (    )  [inline]

Return the number of types in the list. Definition at line 98 of file vtkCellTypes.h. Referenced by IsType().

int vtkCellTypes::IsType (  unsigned char    type )  [inline]

Return 1 if type specified is contained in list; 0 otherwise. Definition at line 146 of file vtkCellTypes.h.

int vtkCellTypes::InsertNextType (  unsigned char    type )  [inline]

Add the type specified to the end of the list. Range checking is performed. Definition at line 105 of file vtkCellTypes.h.

_vtkCell_s& vtkCellTypes::GetCell (  int    id )  [inline]

Return a reference to a cell list structure. Definition at line 108 of file vtkCellTypes.h.

unsigned char vtkCellTypes::GetCellType (  int    cellId )  [inline]

Return the type of cell. Definition at line 111 of file vtkCellTypes.h. Referenced by IsType().

void vtkCellTypes::Squeeze (    )

Reclaim any extra memory.

void vtkCellTypes::Reset (    )

Initialize object without releasing memory.

unsigned long vtkCellTypes::GetActualMemorySize (    )

Return the memory in kilobytes consumed by this cell type array. Used to support streaming and reading/writing data. The value returned is guaranteed to be greater than or equal to the memory required to actually represent the data represented by this object. The information returned is valid only after the pipeline has been updated.

void vtkCellTypes::DeepCopy (  vtkCellTypes *    src )

Standard DeepCopy method. Since this object contains no reference to other objects, there is no ShallowCopy.

void vtkCellTypes::operator= (  const vtkCellTypes &    )  [inline, protected]

Definition at line 135 of file vtkCellTypes.h.
