Detailed Description

a cell that represents an n-sided polygon

vtkPolygon is a concrete implementation of vtkCell to represent a 2D n-sided polygon. The polygons cannot have any internal holes, and cannot self-intersect. Define the polygon with n-points ordered in the counter- clockwise direction; do not repeat the last point.

double vtkPolygon::ComputeArea ( )

Compute the area of a polygon.

This is a convenience function which simply calls static double ComputeArea(vtkPoints *p, vtkIdType numPts, vtkIdType *pts, double normal[3]); with the appropriate parameters from the instantiated vtkPolygon.

void vtkPolygon::InterpolateFunctions ( const double  x[3],
double sf 
)
override

Compute the interpolation functions/derivatives.

(aka shape functions/derivatives) Two interpolation algorithms are available: 1/r^2 and Mean Value Coordinate. The former is used by default. To use the second algorithm, set UseMVCInterpolation to be true. The function assumes the input point lies on the polygon plane without checking that.

static void vtkPolygon::ComputeNormal ( vtkPoints p,
int  numPts,
vtkIdType pts,
double  n[3] 
)
static

Computes the unit normal to the polygon.

If pts=nullptr, point indexing is assumed to be {0, 1, ..., numPts-1}.

static void vtkPolygon::ComputeNormal ( vtkPoints p,
double  n[3] 
)
static

Computes the unit normal to the polygon.

If pts=nullptr, point indexing is assumed to be {0, 1, ..., numPts-1}.

static void vtkPolygon::ComputeNormal ( vtkIdTypeArray ids,
vtkPoints pts,
double  n[3] 
)
static

Computes the unit normal to the polygon.

If pts=nullptr, point indexing is assumed to be {0, 1, ..., numPts-1}.

static void vtkPolygon::ComputeNormal ( int  numPts,
double pts,
double  n[3] 
)
static

Compute the polygon normal from an array of points.

This version assumes that the polygon is convex, and looks for the first valid normal.

bool vtkPolygon::IsConvex ( )

Determine whether or not a polygon is convex.

This is a convenience function that simply calls static bool IsConvex(int numPts, vtkIdType *pts, vtkPoints *p) with the appropriate parameters from the instantiated vtkPolygon.

static bool vtkPolygon::IsConvex ( vtkPoints p,
int  numPts,
vtkIdType pts 
)
static

Determine whether or not a polygon is convex.

If pts=nullptr, point indexing is assumed to be {0, 1, ..., numPts-1}.

static bool vtkPolygon::IsConvex ( vtkIdTypeArray ids,
vtkPoints p 
)
static

Determine whether or not a polygon is convex.

If pts=nullptr, point indexing is assumed to be {0, 1, ..., numPts-1}.

static bool vtkPolygon::IsConvex ( vtkPoints p)
static

Determine whether or not a polygon is convex.

If pts=nullptr, point indexing is assumed to be {0, 1, ..., numPts-1}.

static bool vtkPolygon::ComputeCentroid ( vtkPoints p,
int  numPts,
vtkIdType pts,
double  centroid[3] 
)
static

Compute the centroid of a set of points.

Returns false if the computation is invalid (this occurs when numPts=0 or when ids is empty).

static bool vtkPolygon::ComputeCentroid ( vtkIdTypeArray ids,
vtkPoints pts,
double  centroid[3] 
)
static

Compute the centroid of a set of points.

Returns false if the computation is invalid (this occurs when numPts=0 or when ids is empty).

static double vtkPolygon::ComputeArea ( vtkPoints p,
vtkIdType  numPts,
vtkIdType pts,
double  normal[3] 
)
static

Compute the area of a polygon in 3D.

The area is returned, as well as the normal (a side effect of using this method). If you desire to compute the area of a triangle, use vtkTriangleArea which is faster. If pts==nullptr, point indexing is supposed to be {0, 1, ..., numPts-1}. If you already have a vtkPolygon instantiated, a convenience function, ComputeArea() is provided.

int vtkPolygon::ParameterizePolygon ( double  p0[3],
double  p10[3],
double l10,
double  p20[3],
double l20,
double  n[3] 
)

Create a local s-t coordinate system for a polygon.

The point p0 is the origin of the local system, p10 is s-axis vector, and p20 is the t-axis vector. (These are expressed in the modeling coordinate system and are vectors of dimension [3].) The values l20 and l20 are the lengths of the vectors p10 and p20, and n is the polygon normal.

static int vtkPolygon::PointInPolygon ( double  x[3],
int  numPts,
double pts,
double  bounds[6],
double  n[3] 
)
static

Determine whether point is inside polygon.

Function uses ray-casting to determine if point is inside polygon. Works for arbitrary polygon shape (e.g., non-convex). Returns 0 if point is not in polygon; 1 if it is. Can also return -1 to indicate degenerate polygon.

int vtkPolygon::Triangulate ( vtkIdList outTris)

Triangulate this polygon.

The user must provide the vtkIdList outTris. On output, the outTris list contains the ids of the points defining the triangulation. The ids are ordered into groups of three: each three-group defines one triangle.

int vtkPolygon::NonDegenerateTriangulate ( vtkIdList outTris)

Same as Triangulate(vtkIdList *outTris) but with a first pass to split the polygon into non-degenerate polygons.

int vtkPolygon::BoundedTriangulate ( vtkIdList outTris,
double  tol 
)

Triangulate polygon and enforce that the ratio of the smallest triangle area to the polygon area is greater than a user-defined tolerance.

The user must provide the vtkIdList outTris. On output, the outTris list contains the ids of the points defining the triangulation. The ids are ordered into groups of three: each three-group defines one triangle.

static double vtkPolygon::DistanceToPolygon ( double  x[3],
int  numPts,
double pts,
double  bounds[6],
double  closest[3] 
)
static

Compute the distance of a point to a polygon.

The closest point on the polygon is also returned. The bounds should be provided to accelerate the computation.

static int vtkPolygon::IntersectPolygonWithPolygon ( int  npts,
double pts,
double  bounds[6],
int  npts2,
double pts2,
double  bounds2[3],
double  tol,
double  x[3] 
)
static

Method intersects two polygons.

You must supply the number of points and point coordinates (npts, *pts) and the bounding box (bounds) of the two polygons. Also supply a tolerance squared for controlling error. The method returns 1 if there is an intersection, and 0 if not. A single point of intersection x[3] is also returned if there is an intersection.

static int vtkPolygon::IntersectConvex2DCells ( vtkCell cell1,
vtkCell cell2,
double  tol,
double  p0[3],
double  p1[3] 
)
static

Intersect two convex 2D polygons to produce a line segment as output.

The return status of the methods indicated no intersection (returns 0); a single point of intersection (returns 1); or a line segment (i.e., two points of intersection, returns 2). The points of intersection are returned in the arrays p0 and p1. If less than two points of intersection are generated then p1 and/or p0 may be indeterminiate. Finally, if the two convex polygons are parallel, then "0" is returned (i.e., no intersection) even if the triangles lie on one another.

virtual bool vtkPolygon::GetUseMVCInterpolation ( )
virtual

Set/Get the flag indicating whether to use Mean Value Coordinate for the interpolation.

If true, InterpolateFunctions() uses the Mean Value Coordinate to compute weights. Otherwise, the conventional 1/r^2 method is used. The UseMVCInterpolation parameter is set to false by default.

virtual void vtkPolygon::SetUseMVCInterpolation ( bool  )
virtual

Set/Get the flag indicating whether to use Mean Value Coordinate for the interpolation.

If true, InterpolateFunctions() uses the Mean Value Coordinate to compute weights. Otherwise, the conventional 1/r^2 method is used. The UseMVCInterpolation parameter is set to false by default.

int vtkPolygon::EarCutTriangulation ( )
protected

A fast triangulation method.

Uses recursive divide and conquer based on plane splitting to reduce loop into triangles. The cell (e.g., triangle) is presumed properly initialized (i.e., Points and PointIds).

int vtkPolygon::UnbiasedEarCutTriangulation ( int  seed)
protected

A fast triangulation method.

Uses recursive divide and conquer based on plane splitting to reduce loop into triangles. The cell (e.g., triangle) is presumed properly initialized (i.e., Points and PointIds). Unlike EarCutTriangulation(), vertices are visited sequentially without preference to angle.
