Detailed Description

octree-based spatial search object to quickly locate cells

vtkCellLocator is a spatial search object to quickly locate cells in 3D. vtkCellLocator uses a uniform-level octree subdivision, where each octant (an octant is also referred to as a bucket) carries an indication of whether it is empty or not, and each leaf octant carries a list of the cells inside of it. (An octant is not empty if it has one or more cells inside of it.) Typical operations are intersection with a line to return candidate cells, or intersection with another vtkCellLocator to return candidate cells.

Warning: Many other types of spatial locators have been developed, such as variable depth octrees and kd-trees. These are often more efficient for the operations described here. vtkCellLocator has been designed for subclassing; so these locators can be derived if necessary.

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 vtkAbstractCellLocator.

int vtkCellLocator::IntersectWithLine	(	const double	a0[3],

		double	tol,
		double &	t,
		double	x[3],
		double	pcoords[3],
		int &	subId,
		vtkIdType &	cellId,
		vtkGenericCell *	cell
	)

overridevirtual

Return intersection point (if any) AND the cell which was intersected by the finite line.

The cell is returned as a cell id and as a generic cell. For other IntersectWithLine signatures, see vtkAbstractCellLocator. Note this is currently not thread-safe.

Reimplemented from vtkAbstractCellLocator.

void vtkCellLocator::FindClosestPoint	(	const double	x[3],
		double	closestPoint[3],
		vtkGenericCell *	cell,
		vtkIdType &	cellId,
		int &	subId,
		double &	dist2
	)

overridevirtual

Return the closest point and the cell which is closest to the point x.

The closest point is somewhere on a cell, it need not be one of the vertices of the cell. This version takes in a vtkGenericCell to avoid allocating and deallocating the cell. This is much faster than the version which does not take a *cell, especially when this function is called many times in a row such as by a for loop, where the allocation and deallocation can be done only once outside the for loop. If a cell is found, "cell" contains the points and ptIds for the cell "cellId" upon exit.

Reimplemented from vtkAbstractCellLocator.

vtkIdType vtkCellLocator::FindClosestPointWithinRadius	(	double	x[3],
		double	radius,
		double	closestPoint[3],
		vtkGenericCell *	cell,
		vtkIdType &	cellId,
		int &	subId,
		double &	dist2,
		int &	inside
	)

overridevirtual

Return the closest point within a specified radius and the cell which is closest to the point x.

The closest point is somewhere on a cell, it need not be one of the vertices of the cell. This method returns 1 if a point is found within the specified radius. If there are no cells within the specified radius, the method returns 0 and the values of closestPoint, cellId, subId, and dist2 are undefined. This version takes in a vtkGenericCell to avoid allocating and deallocating the cell. This is much faster than the version which does not take a *cell, especially when this function is called many times in a row such as by a for loop, where the allocation and dealloction can be done only once outside the for loop. If a closest point is found, "cell" contains the points and ptIds for the cell "cellId" upon exit. If a closest point is found, inside returns the return value of the EvaluatePosition call to the closest cell; inside(=1) or outside(=0). For other FindClosestPointWithinRadius signatures, see vtkAbstractCellLocator.

Reimplemented from vtkAbstractCellLocator.

virtual vtkIdList* vtkCellLocator::GetCells ( int bucket )

virtual

Get the cells in a particular bucket.

virtual int vtkCellLocator::GetNumberOfBuckets ( void )

virtual

Return number of buckets available.

Insure that the locator has been built before attempting to access buckets (octants).

vtkIdType vtkCellLocator::FindCell	(	double	x[3],
		double	tol2,
		vtkGenericCell *	GenCell,
		double	pcoords[3],
		double *	weights
	)

overridevirtual

Find the cell containing a given point.

returns -1 if no cell found the cell parameters are copied into the supplied variables, a cell must be provided to store the information.

Reimplemented from vtkAbstractCellLocator.

void vtkCellLocator::FindCellsWithinBounds	(	double *	bbox,
		vtkIdList *	cells
	)

overridevirtual

Return a list of unique cell ids inside of a given bounding box.

The user must provide the vtkIdList to populate. This method returns data only after the locator has been built.

Reimplemented from vtkAbstractCellLocator.

void vtkCellLocator::FindCellsAlongLine	(	const double	p1[3],
		const double	p2[3],
		double	tolerance,
		vtkIdList *	cells
	)

overridevirtual

Given a finite line defined by the two points (p1,p2), return the list of unique cell ids in the buckets containing the line.

It is possible that an empty cell list is returned. The user must provide the vtkIdList to populate. This method returns data only after the locator has been built.
