Detailed Description

sample unstructured points onto structured points using the method of Shepard

vtkShepardMethod is a filter used to visualize unstructured point data using Shepard's method. The method works by resampling the unstructured points onto a structured points set. The influence functions are described as "inverse distance weighted". Once the structured points are computed, the usual visualization techniques (e.g., iso-contouring or volume rendering) can be used visualize the structured points.

Warning:
The input to this filter is any dataset type. This filter can be used to resample any form of data, i.e., the input data need not be unstructured.

The bounds of the data (i.e., the sample space) is automatically computed if not set by the user.

If you use a maximum distance less than 1.0, some output points may never receive a contribution. The final value of these points can be specified with the "NullValue" instance variable.

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

Reimplemented from vtkDataSetToImageFilter.

int vtkShepardMethod::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 vtkDataSetToImageFilter.

virtual int vtkShepardMethod::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 vtkDataSetToImageFilter.

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

Reimplemented from vtkDataSetToImageFilter.

void vtkShepardMethod::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 vtkDataSetToImageFilter.

vtkShepardMethod* vtkShepardMethod::New  )  [static]
 

Construct with sample dimensions=(50,50,50) and so that model bounds are automatically computed from input. Null value for each unvisited output point is 0.0. Maximum distance is 0.25.

Reimplemented from vtkAlgorithm.

double vtkShepardMethod::ComputeModelBounds double  origin[3],
double  ar[3]
 

Compute ModelBounds from input geometry.

virtual int* vtkShepardMethod::GetSampleDimensions  )  [virtual]
 

Specify i-j-k dimensions on which to sample input points.

virtual void vtkShepardMethod::GetSampleDimensions int  data[3]  )  [virtual]
 

Specify i-j-k dimensions on which to sample input points.

void vtkShepardMethod::SetSampleDimensions int  i,
int  j,
int  k
 

Set the i-j-k dimensions on which to sample the distance function.

void vtkShepardMethod::SetSampleDimensions int  dim[3]  ) 
 

Set the i-j-k dimensions on which to sample the distance function.

virtual void vtkShepardMethod::SetMaximumDistance double   )  [virtual]
 

Specify influence distance of each input point. This distance is a fraction of the length of the diagonal of the sample space. Thus, values of 1.0 will cause each input point to influence all points in the structured point dataset. Values less than 1.0 can improve performance significantly.

virtual double vtkShepardMethod::GetMaximumDistance  )  [virtual]
 

Specify influence distance of each input point. This distance is a fraction of the length of the diagonal of the sample space. Thus, values of 1.0 will cause each input point to influence all points in the structured point dataset. Values less than 1.0 can improve performance significantly.
