Detailed Description

abstract filter class.

Revision:

1.42

vtkPointSetToPointSetFilter is an abstract filter class whose subclasses take as input a point set and generates a point set on output. At a minimum, the concrete subclasses of vtkPointSetToPointSetFilter modify their point coordinates. They never modify their topological form, however.

This is an abstract filter type. What that means is that the output of the filter is an abstract type (i.e., vtkPointSet), no matter what the input of the filter is. This can cause problems connecting together filters due to the change in dataset type. (For example, in a series of filters processing vtkPolyData, when a vtkPointSetToPointSetFilter or subclass is introduced into the pipeline, if the filter downstream of it takes vtkPolyData as input, the pipeline connection cannot be made.) To get around this problem, use one of the convenience methods to return a concrete type (e.g., vtkGetPolyDataOutput(), GetStructuredGridOutput(), etc.).

Member Function Documentation

virtual const char* vtkPointSetToPointSetFilter::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 vtkPointSetSource. Reimplemented in vtkTransformFilter, vtkWarpLens, vtkWarpScalar, vtkWarpTo, and vtkWarpVector.

int vtkPointSetToPointSetFilter::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 vtkPointSetSource. Reimplemented in vtkTransformFilter, vtkWarpLens, vtkWarpScalar, vtkWarpTo, and vtkWarpVector.

virtual int vtkPointSetToPointSetFilter::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 vtkPointSetSource. Reimplemented in vtkTransformFilter, vtkWarpLens, vtkWarpScalar, vtkWarpTo, and vtkWarpVector.

vtkPointSetToPointSetFilter* vtkPointSetToPointSetFilter::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 vtkPointSetSource. Reimplemented in vtkTransformFilter, vtkWarpLens, vtkWarpScalar, vtkWarpTo, and vtkWarpVector.

void vtkPointSetToPointSetFilter::SetInput (  vtkPointSet *    input )

Specify the input data or filter.

vtkPointSet* vtkPointSetToPointSetFilter::GetInput (    )

Get the input data or filter.

vtkPointSet* vtkPointSetToPointSetFilter::GetOutput (    )

Get the output of this filter. If output is NULL, then input hasn't been set, which is necessary for abstract filter objects. Reimplemented from vtkPointSetSource.

vtkPointSet* vtkPointSetToPointSetFilter::GetOutput (  int    idx )  [inline]

Reimplemented from vtkPointSetSource. Definition at line 89 of file vtkPointSetToPointSetFilter.h.

vtkPolyData* vtkPointSetToPointSetFilter::GetPolyDataOutput (    )

Get the output as vtkPolyData. Performs run-time checking.

vtkStructuredGrid* vtkPointSetToPointSetFilter::GetStructuredGridOutput (    )

Get the output as vtkStructuredGrid. Performs run-time checking.

vtkUnstructuredGrid* vtkPointSetToPointSetFilter::GetUnstructuredGridOutput (    )

Get the output as vtkUnstructuredGrid. Performs run-time checking.

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

Definition at line 105 of file vtkPointSetToPointSetFilter.h.
