Detailed Description

create a random cloud of points

vtkPointSource is a source object that creates a user-specified number of points within a specified radius about a specified center point. By default location of the points is random within the sphere. It is also possible to generate random points only on the surface of the sphere.

Member Function Documentation

vtkPointSource* vtkPointSource::New  )  [static]
 

Create an object with Debug turned off, modified time initialized to zero, and reference counting on.

Reimplemented from vtkAlgorithm.

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

Reimplemented from vtkPolyDataSource.

int vtkPointSource::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 vtkPolyDataSource.

virtual int vtkPointSource::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 vtkPolyDataSource.

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

Reimplemented from vtkPolyDataSource.

void vtkPointSource::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 vtkPolyDataSource.

virtual void vtkPointSource::SetNumberOfPoints vtkIdType   )  [virtual]
 

Set the number of points to generate.

virtual vtkIdType vtkPointSource::GetNumberOfPoints  )  [virtual]
 

Set the number of points to generate.

virtual void vtkPointSource::SetCenter double  ,
double  ,
double 
[virtual]
 

Set the center of the point cloud.

virtual void vtkPointSource::SetCenter double  [3]  )  [virtual]
 

Set the center of the point cloud.

virtual double* vtkPointSource::GetCenter  )  [virtual]
 

Set the center of the point cloud.

virtual void vtkPointSource::GetCenter double  data[3]  )  [virtual]
 

Set the center of the point cloud.

virtual void vtkPointSource::SetRadius double   )  [virtual]
 

Set the radius of the point cloud. If you are generating a Gaussian distribution, then this is the standard deviation for each of x, y, and z.

virtual double vtkPointSource::GetRadius  )  [virtual]
 

Set the radius of the point cloud. If you are generating a Gaussian distribution, then this is the standard deviation for each of x, y, and z.

virtual void vtkPointSource::SetDistribution int   )  [virtual]
 

Specify the distribution to use. The default is a uniform distribution. The shell distribution produces random points on the surface of the sphere, none in the interior.

void vtkPointSource::SetDistributionToUniform  )  [inline]
 

Specify the distribution to use. The default is a uniform distribution. The shell distribution produces random points on the surface of the sphere, none in the interior.

Definition at line 83 of file vtkPointSource.h.

void vtkPointSource::SetDistributionToShell  )  [inline]
 

Specify the distribution to use. The default is a uniform distribution. The shell distribution produces random points on the surface of the sphere, none in the interior.

Definition at line 85 of file vtkPointSource.h.

References VTK_POINT_SHELL.

virtual int vtkPointSource::GetDistribution  )  [virtual]
 

Specify the distribution to use. The default is a uniform distribution. The shell distribution produces random points on the surface of the sphere, none in the interior.

void vtkPointSource::Execute  )  [protected, virtual]
 

This method is the old style execute method

Reimplemented from vtkSource.
