Detailed Description

defines dataset interface

In VTK, spatial-temporal data is defined in terms of a dataset. The dataset consists of geometry (e.g., points), topology (e.g., cells), and attributes (e.g., scalars, vectors, etc.) vtkGenericDataSet is an abstract class defining this abstraction.

Since vtkGenericDataSet provides a general interface to manipulate data, algorithms that process it tend to be slower than those specialized for a particular data type. For this reason, there are concrete, non-abstract subclasses that represent and provide access to data more efficiently. Note that filters to process this dataset type are currently found in the VTK/GenericFiltering/ subdirectory.

Unlike the vtkDataSet class, vtkGenericDataSet provides a more flexible interface including support for iterators. vtkGenericDataSet is also designed to interface VTK to external simulation packages without the penalty of copying memory (see VTK/GenericFiltering/README.html) for more information. Thus vtkGenericDataSet plays a central role in the adaptor framework.

Please note that this class introduces the concepts of "boundary cells". This refers to the boundaries of a cell (e.g., face of a tetrahedron) which may in turn be represented as a cell. Boundary cells are derivative topological features of cells, and are therefore never explicitly represented in the dataset. Often in visualization algorithms, looping over boundaries (edges or faces) is employed, while the actual dataset cells may not traversed. Thus there are methods to loop over these boundary cells.

Finally, as a point of clarification, points are not the same as vertices. Vertices refer to points, and points specify a position is space. Vertices are a type of 0-D cell. Also, the concept of a DOFNode, which is where coefficients for higher-order cells are kept, is a new concept introduced by the adaptor framework (see vtkGenericAdaptorCell for more information).

virtual vtkIdType vtkGenericDataSet::GetNumberOfPoints ( )

pure virtual

Return the number of points composing the dataset.

See NewPointIterator() for more details.

Postcondition: positive_result: result>=0

virtual vtkIdType vtkGenericDataSet::GetNumberOfCells ( int dim = -1 )

pure virtual

Return the number of cells that explicitly define the dataset.

See NewCellIterator() for more details.

Precondition: valid_dim_range: (dim>=-1) && (dim<=3)

Postcondition: positive_result: result>=0

virtual int vtkGenericDataSet::GetCellDimension ( )

pure virtual

Return -1 if the dataset is explicitly defined by cells of varying dimensions or if there are no cells.

If the dataset is explicitly defined by cells of a unique dimension, return this dimension.

Postcondition: valid_range: (result>=-1) && (result<=3)

virtual void vtkGenericDataSet::GetCellTypes ( vtkCellTypes * types )

virtual

Get a list of types of cells in a dataset.

The list consists of an array of types (not necessarily in any order), with a single entry per type. For example a dataset 5 triangles, 3 lines, and 100 hexahedra would result a list of three entries, corresponding to the types VTK_TRIANGLE, VTK_LINE, and VTK_HEXAHEDRON. THIS METHOD IS THREAD SAFE IF FIRST CALLED FROM A SINGLE THREAD AND THE DATASET IS NOT MODIFIED

Precondition: types_exist: types!=0

virtual vtkGenericCellIterator* vtkGenericDataSet::NewCellIterator ( int dim = -1 )

pure virtual

Return an iterator to traverse cells of dimension `dim' (or all dimensions if -1) that explicitly define the dataset.

For instance, it will return only tetrahedra if the mesh is defined by tetrahedra. If the mesh is composed of two parts, one with tetrahedra and another part with triangles, it will return both, but will not return the boundary edges and vertices of these cells. The user is responsible for deleting the iterator.

Precondition: valid_dim_range: (dim>=-1) && (dim<=3)

Postcondition: result_exists: result!=0

virtual vtkGenericCellIterator* vtkGenericDataSet::NewBoundaryIterator	(	int	dim = `-1`,
		int	exteriorOnly = `0`
	)

pure virtual

Return an iterator to traverse cell boundaries of dimension `dim' (or all dimensions if -1) of the dataset.

If `exteriorOnly' is true, only the exterior cell boundaries of the dataset will be returned, otherwise it will return exterior and interior cell boundaries. The user is responsible for deleting the iterator.

Precondition: valid_dim_range: (dim>=-1) && (dim<=2)

Postcondition: result_exists: result!=0

virtual vtkGenericPointIterator* vtkGenericDataSet::NewPointIterator ( )

pure virtual

Return an iterator to traverse the points composing the dataset; they can be points that define a cell (corner points) or isolated points.

The user is responsible for deleting the iterator.

Postcondition: result_exists: result!=0

virtual int vtkGenericDataSet::FindCell	(	double	x[3],
		vtkGenericCellIterator *&	cell,
		double	tol2,
		int &	subId,
		double	pcoords[3]
	)

pure virtual

Locate the closest cell to position `x' (global coordinates) with respect to a tolerance squared `tol2' and an initial guess `cell' (if valid).

The result consists in the `cell', the `subId' of the sub-cell (0 if primary cell), the parametric coordinates `pcoord' of the position. It returns whether the position is inside the cell or not (boolean). Tolerance is used to control how close the point is to be considered "in" the cell. THIS METHOD IS NOT THREAD SAFE.

Precondition: not_empty: GetNumberOfCells()>0; cell_exists: cell!=0; positive_tolerance: tol2>0

virtual void vtkGenericDataSet::FindPoint	(	double	x[3],

The return value is VOLATILE.

virtual void vtkGenericDataSet::GetBounds ( double bounds[6] )

virtual

Return the geometry bounding box in global coordinates in the form (xmin,xmax, ymin,ymax, zmin,zmax) in the `bounds' array.

virtual double* vtkGenericDataSet::GetCenter ( )

virtual

Get the center of the bounding box in global coordinates.

The return value is VOLATILE.

Postcondition: result_exists: result!=0

virtual void vtkGenericDataSet::GetCenter ( double center[3] )

virtual

Get the center of the bounding box in global coordinates.

virtual double vtkGenericDataSet::GetLength ( )

virtual

Return the length of the diagonal of the bounding box.

Postcondition: positive_result: result>=0

virtual vtkGenericAttributeCollection* vtkGenericDataSet::GetAttributes ( )

virtual

Get the collection of attributes associated with this dataset.

vtkDataSetAttributes* vtkGenericDataSet::GetAttributes ( int type )

inlineoverridevirtual

Returns the attributes of the data object of the specified attribute type.

The type may be:

POINT - Defined in vtkDataSet subclasses.
CELL - Defined in vtkDataSet subclasses.
VERTEX - Defined in vtkGraph subclasses.
EDGE - Defined in vtkGraph subclasses.
ROW - Defined in vtkTable.

The other attribute type, FIELD, will return nullptr since field data is stored as a vtkFieldData instance, not a vtkDataSetAttributes instance. To retrieve field data, use GetAttributesAsFieldData.
