Detailed Description

provides several methods for sorting VTK arrays.

vtkSortDataArray is used to sort data, based on its value, or with an associated key, into either ascending or descending order. This is useful for operations like selection, or analysis, when evaluating and processing data. A variety of sorting functions are provided, treating both arrays (i.e., vtkAbstractArray) and id lists (vtkIdList). Note that complex arrays like variants and string arrays are also handled.

Additional functionality is provided to generate data ordering, without necessarily shuffling the data into a final, sorted position. Hence, the sorting process is organized into three steps because of the complexity of dealing with multiple types and multiple component data arrays. The first step involves creating and initializing a sorted index array, and then (second step) sorting this array to produce a map indicating the sorting order. In other words, the sorting index array is a permutation which can be applied to other, associated data to shuffle it (third step) into an order consistent with the sorting operation. Note that the generation of the sorted index array is useful unto itself (even without the final shuffling of data) because it generates an ordered list (from the data values of any component in any array). So for example, it is possible to find the top N cells with the largest scalar value simply by generating the sorting index array from the call scalar values.

Warning: This class has been threaded with vtkSMPTools. Using TBB or other non-sequential type (set in the CMake variable VTK_SMP_IMPLEMENTATION_TYPE) may improve performance significantly on multi-core machines.; The sort methods below are static, hence the sorting methods can be used without instantiating the class. All methods are thread safe.

Sorts the given data array using the specified component as a key.

static vtkIdType* vtkSortDataArray::InitializeSortIndices ( vtkIdType numKeys )

static

The following are general functions which can be used to produce an ordering, and/or sort various types of VTK arrays.

Don't use these methods unless you really know what you are doing. The basic idea is that an initial set of indices (InitializeSortIndices() that refer to the data contained in a vtkAbstractArray or vtkIdList) are sorted (GenerateSortIndices() based on the data values in the array). The result of the sort is the creation of a permutation array (the sort array idx) that indicates where the data tuples originated (e.g., after the sort, idx[0] indicates where in the array the tuple was originally located prior to sorting.) This sorted index array can be used to shuffle various types of VTK arrays (the types supported correspond to the various arrays which are subclasses of vtkDataArrayTemplate, use ShuffleArray() or for vtkIdList, use ShuffleIdList()). Also, the sort array, being an vtkIdType* (i.e., id list), can also be used to identify points or cells in sorted order (based on the data in the originating dataIn array). Note that sorting is always performed in ascending order, and the sorted index array reflects this; however the shuffling of data can be specified as either ascending (dir=0) or descending (dir=1) order. The user is responsible for taking ownership of the sort indices (i.e., free the idx array).
