Detailed Description

map vtkPolyData to graphics primitives.

Date:

2000/12/10 20:08:47

Revision:

1.20

vtkPolyDataMapper is a class that maps polygonal data (i.e., vtkPolyData) to graphics primitives. vtkPolyDataMapper serves as a superclass for device-specific poly data mappers, that actually do the mapping to the rendering/graphics hardware/software.

Examples:

Member Function Documentation

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

Return the class name as a string. This method is defined in all subclasses of vtkObject with the vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h. Reimplemented from vtkMapper. Reimplemented in vtkMesaPolyDataMapper.

vtkPolyData* vtkPolyDataMapper::GetInput (    )

Get the input as a vtkDataSet. This method is overridden in the specialized mapper classes to return more specific data types. Reimplemented from vtkMapper.

virtual int vtkPolyDataMapper::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 vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h. Reimplemented from vtkMapper. Reimplemented in vtkMesaPolyDataMapper.

int vtkPolyDataMapper::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 vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h. Reimplemented from vtkMapper. Reimplemented in vtkMesaPolyDataMapper.

vtkPolyDataMapper* vtkPolyDataMapper::New (    )  [static]

Instantiate object with no start, end, or progress methods. Reimplemented from vtkProcessObject. Reimplemented in vtkMesaPolyDataMapper.

void vtkPolyDataMapper::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 vtkMapper.

virtual void vtkPolyDataMapper::Render (  vtkRenderer *   , vtkActor *    )  [inline, virtual]

Implement required Render method. Just a dummy routine here. Implements vtkMapper. Reimplemented in vtkMesaPolyDataMapper.

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

Will cast the supplied object to vtkObject* is this is a safe operation (i.e., a safe downcast); otherwise NULL is returned. This method is defined in all subclasses of vtkObject with the vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h. Reimplemented from vtkMapper. Reimplemented in vtkMesaPolyDataMapper.

virtual void vtkPolyDataMapper::SetGhostLevel (  int    )  [virtual]

Set the number of ghost cells to return.

void vtkPolyDataMapper::SetInput (  vtkPolyData *    in )

Specify the input data to map.

virtual void vtkPolyDataMapper::SetPiece (  int    )  [virtual]

If you want only a part of the data, specify by setting the piece.

void vtkPolyDataMapper::Update (    )  [virtual]

Update that sets the update piece first. Reimplemented from vtkMapper.
