Detailed Description

abstract class defined API for attribute data

vtkGenericAttribute is an abstract class that defines an API for attribute data. Attribute data is data associated with the topology or geometry of a dataset (i.e., points, cells, etc.). vtkGenericAttribute is part of the adaptor framework (see GenericFiltering/README.html).

vtkGenericAttribute provides a more general interface to attribute data than its counterpart vtkDataArray (which assumes a linear, contiguous array). It adopts an iterator interface, and allows attributes to be associated with points, edges, faces, or edges.

Member Function Documentation

virtual const char* vtkGenericAttribute::GetClassName  )  [virtual]
 

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

int vtkGenericAttribute::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 vtkTypeRevisionMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

virtual int vtkGenericAttribute::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 vtkTypeRevisionMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

vtkGenericAttribute* vtkGenericAttribute::SafeDownCast vtkObject o  )  [static]
 

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

virtual void vtkGenericAttribute::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.

virtual const char* vtkGenericAttribute::GetName  )  [pure virtual]
 

Name of the attribute. (e.g. "velocity")

Postcondition:
result_may_not_exist: result!=0 || result==0

virtual int vtkGenericAttribute::GetNumberOfComponents  )  [pure virtual]
 

Dimension of the attribute. (1 for scalar, 3 for velocity)

Postcondition:
positive_result: result>=0

virtual int vtkGenericAttribute::GetCentering  )  [pure virtual]
 

Is the attribute centered either on points, cells or boundaries?

Postcondition:
valid_result: (result==vtkPointCentered) || (result==vtkCellCentered) || (result==vtkBoundaryCentered)

virtual int vtkGenericAttribute::GetType  )  [pure virtual]
