Detailed Description

write binary marching cubes file

vtkMCubesWriter is a polydata writer that writes binary marching cubes files. (Marching cubes is an isosurfacing technique that generates many triangles.) The binary format is supported by W. Lorensen's marching cubes program (and the vtkSliceCubes object). Each triangle is represented by three records, with each record consisting of six single precision floating point numbers representing the a triangle vertex coordinate and vertex normal.

Warning:: Binary files are written in sun/hp/sgi (i.e., Big Endian) form.

Member Function Documentation

vtkMCubesWriter* vtkMCubesWriter::New ( ) [static]

Created object with default header, ASCII format, and default names for scalars, vectors, tensors, normals, and texture coordinates.
Reimplemented from vtkPolyDataWriter.

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

Reimplemented from vtkPolyDataWriter.

int vtkMCubesWriter::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 vtkPolyDataWriter.

virtual int vtkMCubesWriter::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 vtkPolyDataWriter.

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

Reimplemented from vtkPolyDataWriter.

void vtkMCubesWriter::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 vtkPolyDataWriter.

virtual void vtkMCubesWriter::SetLimitsFileName ( const char * ) [virtual]

Set/get file name of marching cubes limits file.

virtual char* vtkMCubesWriter::GetLimitsFileName ( ) [virtual]

Set/get file name of marching cubes limits file.

void vtkMCubesWriter::WriteData ( ) [protected, virtual]

Reimplemented from vtkPolyDataWriter.
