Detailed Description

transform points and associated normals and vectors for polygonal dataset.

Date:

2000/12/10 20:08:56

Revision:

1.18

vtkTransformPolyDataFilter is a filter to transform point coordinates and associated point and cell normals and vectors. Other point and cell data is passed through the filter unchanged. This filter is specialized for polygonal data. See vtkTransformFilter for more general data.

An alternative method of transformation is to use vtkActor's methods to scale, rotate, and translate objects. The difference between the two methods is that vtkActor's transformation simply effects where objects are rendered (via the graphics pipeline), whereas vtkTransformPolyDataFilter actually modifies point coordinates in the visualization pipeline. This is necessary for some objects (e.g., vtkProbeFilter) that require point coordinates as input.

Member Function Documentation

vtkTransformPolyDataFilter* vtkTransformPolyDataFilter::New (    )  [static]

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

virtual const char* vtkTransformPolyDataFilter::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 vtkPolyDataToPolyDataFilter.

int vtkTransformPolyDataFilter::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 vtkPolyDataToPolyDataFilter.

virtual int vtkTransformPolyDataFilter::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 vtkPolyDataToPolyDataFilter.

vtkTransformPolyDataFilter* vtkTransformPolyDataFilter::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 vtkPolyDataToPolyDataFilter.

void vtkTransformPolyDataFilter::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.

unsigned long vtkTransformPolyDataFilter::GetMTime (    )  [virtual]

Return the MTime also considering the transform. Reimplemented from vtkObject.

virtual void vtkTransformPolyDataFilter::SetTransform (  vtkAbstractTransform *    )  [virtual]

Specify the transform object used to transform points.

virtual vtkAbstractTransform* vtkTransformPolyDataFilter::GetTransform (    )  [virtual]

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

Definition at line 90 of file vtkTransformPolyDataFilter.h.

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

Reimplemented from vtkSource.
