Detailed Description

spline abstract class.

Date:

Revision:
1.17

vtkSpline is used to create interpolated data points for specified data. vtkSpline is an abstract class: its subclasses vtkCardinalSpline and vtkKochenekSpline do the interpolation, The current implementation of splines is limited to data dimensions not exceeding four.

Typically a spline is used by adding a sequence of points followed by use of an evaluation function (e.g., vtkCardinalSpline::Evaluate()). Since these splines are 1D, a point in this context is a independent/ dependent variable pair. Note that the parameter space of the spline ranges from (0,N-1), where N is the number of points in the spline.

Splines can also be set up to be closed or open. Closed splines continue from the last point to the first point with continuous function and derivative values. (You don't need to duplicate the first point to close the spline, just set ClosedOn.) If the spline is closed, the parameter space of the spline becomes (0,N).

Member Function Documentation

virtual const char* vtkSpline::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.

Reimplemented in vtkCardinalSpline, and vtkKochanekSpline.

int vtkSpline::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.

Reimplemented in vtkCardinalSpline, and vtkKochanekSpline.

virtual int vtkSpline::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.

Reimplemented in vtkCardinalSpline, and vtkKochanekSpline.

vtkSpline* vtkSpline::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.

Reimplemented in vtkCardinalSpline, and vtkKochanekSpline.

void vtkSpline::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 vtkObject.

Reimplemented in vtkCardinalSpline, and vtkKochanekSpline.

virtual void vtkSpline::SetClampValue int    [virtual]
 

Set/Get ClampValue. If On, results of the interpolation will be clamped to the min/max of the input data.

virtual int vtkSpline::GetClampValue   [virtual]
 

virtual void vtkSpline::ClampValueOn   [virtual]
 

virtual void vtkSpline::ClampValueOff   [virtual]
 

virtual void vtkSpline::Compute   [pure virtual]
 

Compute the coefficients for the spline.

Reimplemented in vtkCardinalSpline, and vtkKochanekSpline.

void vtkSpline::AddPoint float    t,
float    x
 

Add a pair of points to be fit with the spline.

void vtkSpline::RemovePoint float    t
 

Remove a point from the data to be fit with the spline.

void vtkSpline::RemoveAllPoints  
 

Remove all points from the data.

virtual void vtkSpline::SetClosed int    [virtual]
 

Control whether the spline is open or closed. A closed spline forms a continuous loop: the first and last points are the same, and derivatives are continuous.

virtual int vtkSpline::GetClosed   [virtual]
 

virtual void vtkSpline::ClosedOn   [virtual]
 

virtual void vtkSpline::ClosedOff   [virtual]
 

virtual void vtkSpline::SetLeftConstraint int    [virtual]
 

Set the type of constraint of the left(right) end points. Three constraints are available: 1: the first derivative at left(right)most point is set to Left(Right)Value. 2: the second derivative at left(right)most point is set to Left(Right)Value. 3: the second derivative at left(right)most points is Left(Right)Value times second derivative at first interior point.

virtual int vtkSpline::GetLeftConstraint   [virtual]
 

virtual void vtkSpline::SetRightConstraint int    [virtual]
 

virtual int vtkSpline::GetRightConstraint   [virtual]
 

virtual void vtkSpline::SetLeftValue float    [virtual]
 

virtual float vtkSpline::GetLeftValue   [virtual]
 

virtual void vtkSpline::SetRightValue float    [virtual]
 

virtual float vtkSpline::GetRightValue   [virtual]
 

unsigned long vtkSpline::GetMTime   [virtual]
 

Return the MTime also considering the Piecewise function.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.
