Detailed Description

tessellates generic, higher-order datasets into linear cells

vtkGenericDataSetTessellator is a filter that subdivides a vtkGenericDataSet into linear elements (i.e., linear VTK cells). Tetrahedra are produced from 3D cells; triangles from 2D cells; and lines from 1D cells. The subdivision process depends on the cell tessellator associated with the input generic dataset, and its associated error metric. (These can be specified by the user if necessary.)

This filter is typically used to convert a higher-order, complex dataset represented vtkGenericDataSet into a conventional vtkDataSet that can be operated on by linear VTK graphics filters.

Member Function Documentation

vtkGenericDataSetTessellator* vtkGenericDataSetTessellator::New ( ) [static]

Standard VTK methods.
Reimplemented from vtkAlgorithm.

virtual const char* vtkGenericDataSetTessellator::GetClassName ( ) [virtual]

Reimplemented from vtkGenericDataSetToUnstructuredGridFilter.

int vtkGenericDataSetTessellator::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 vtkGenericDataSetToUnstructuredGridFilter.

virtual int vtkGenericDataSetTessellator::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 vtkGenericDataSetToUnstructuredGridFilter.

vtkGenericDataSetTessellator* vtkGenericDataSetTessellator::SafeDownCast ( vtkObject * o ) [static]

Reimplemented from vtkGenericDataSetToUnstructuredGridFilter.

void vtkGenericDataSetTessellator::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 vtkGenericDataSetToUnstructuredGridFilter.

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

This method is the old style execute method
Reimplemented from vtkSource.
