Detailed Description

extract separate components of data from different datasets.

Date:

2000/12/10 20:08:43

Revision:

1.47

vtkMergeFilter is a filter that extracts separate components of data from different datasets and merges them into a single dataset. The output from this filter is of the same type as the input (i.e., vtkDataSet.) It treats both cell and point data set attributes.

Examples:

Member Function Documentation

vtkMergeFilter* vtkMergeFilter::New (    )  [static]

Instantiate object with no start, end, or progress methods. Reimplemented from vtkDataSetSource.

virtual const char* vtkMergeFilter::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 vtkDataSetToDataSetFilter.

int vtkMergeFilter::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 vtkDataSetToDataSetFilter.

virtual int vtkMergeFilter::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 vtkDataSetToDataSetFilter.

vtkMergeFilter* vtkMergeFilter::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 vtkDataSetToDataSetFilter.

void vtkMergeFilter::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.

void vtkMergeFilter::SetGeometry (  vtkDataSet *    input )  [inline]

Specify object from which to extract geometry information. Definition at line 68 of file vtkMergeFilter.h.

vtkDataSet* vtkMergeFilter::GetGeometry (    )  [inline]

Definition at line 69 of file vtkMergeFilter.h.

void vtkMergeFilter::SetScalars (  vtkDataSet *    )

Specify object from which to extract scalar information.

vtkDataSet* vtkMergeFilter::GetScalars (    )

void vtkMergeFilter::SetScalars (  vtkImageData *    cache )  [inline]

Definition at line 74 of file vtkMergeFilter.h.

void vtkMergeFilter::SetVectors (  vtkDataSet *    )

Set / get the object from which to extract vector information.

vtkDataSet* vtkMergeFilter::GetVectors (    )

void vtkMergeFilter::SetNormals (  vtkDataSet *    )

Set / get the object from which to extract normal information.

vtkDataSet* vtkMergeFilter::GetNormals (    )

void vtkMergeFilter::SetTCoords (  vtkDataSet *    )

Set / get the object from which to extract texture coordinates information.

vtkDataSet* vtkMergeFilter::GetTCoords (    )

void vtkMergeFilter::SetTensors (  vtkDataSet *    )

Set / get the object from which to extract tensor data.

vtkDataSet* vtkMergeFilter::GetTensors (    )

void vtkMergeFilter::SetFieldData (  vtkDataSet *    )

Set / get the object from which to extract field data.

vtkDataSet* vtkMergeFilter::GetFieldData (    )

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

Definition at line 103 of file vtkMergeFilter.h.

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

Reimplemented from vtkSource.

void vtkMergeFilter::ComputeInputUpdateExtents (  vtkDataObject *    data )  [protected, virtual]

By default copy the output update extent to the input Reimplemented from vtkDataSetToDataSetFilter.
