Detailed Description

abstract class to specify cell behavior

vtkCell is an abstract class that specifies the interfaces for data cells. Data cells are simple topological elements like points, lines, polygons, and tetrahedra of which visualization datasets are composed. In some cases visualization datasets may explicitly represent cells (e.g., vtkPolyData, vtkUnstructuredGrid), and in some cases, the datasets are implicitly composed of cells (e.g., vtkStructuredPoints).

Warning: The #define VTK_CELL_SIZE is a parameter used to construct cells and provide a general guideline for controlling object execution. This parameter is not a hard boundary: you can create cells with more points.

Given a point x[3] return inside(=1), outside(=0) cell, or (-1) computational problem encountered; evaluate parametric coordinates, sub-cell id (!=0 only if cell is composite), distance squared of point x[3] to cell (in particular, the sub-cell indicated), closest point on cell to x[3] (unless closestPoint is null, in which case, the closest point and dist2 are not found), and interpolation weights in cell.

(The number of weights is equal to the number of points defining the cell). Note: on rare occasions a -1 is returned from the method. This means that numerical error has occurred and all data returned from this method should be ignored. Also, inside/outside is determine parametrically. That is, a point is inside if it satisfies parametric limits. This can cause problems for cells of topological dimension 2 or less, since a point in 3D can project onto the cell within parametric limits but be "far" from the cell. Thus the value dist2 may be checked to determine true in/out.

◆ EvaluateLocation()

virtual void vtkCell::EvaluateLocation	(	int &	subId,
		const double	pcoords[3],
		double	x[3],
		double *	weights
	)

pure virtual

Determine global coordinate (x[3]) from subId and parametric coordinates.

Also returns interpolation weights. (The number of weights is equal to the number of points in the cell.)

Implemented in vtkBiQuadraticQuad, vtkBiQuadraticQuadraticHexahedron, vtkBiQuadraticQuadraticWedge, vtkBiQuadraticTriangle, vtkConvexPointSet, vtkCubicLine, vtkEmptyCell, vtkGenericCell, vtkHexagonalPrism, vtkHexahedron, vtkHigherOrderCurve, vtkHigherOrderHexahedron, vtkHigherOrderQuadrilateral, vtkHigherOrderTetra, vtkHigherOrderTriangle, vtkHigherOrderWedge, vtkLine, vtkPentagonalPrism, vtkPixel, vtkPolygon, vtkPolyhedron, vtkPolyLine, vtkPolyVertex, vtkPyramid, vtkQuad, vtkQuadraticEdge, vtkQuadraticHexahedron, vtkQuadraticLinearQuad, vtkQuadraticLinearWedge, vtkQuadraticPolygon, vtkQuadraticPyramid, vtkQuadraticQuad, vtkQuadraticTetra, vtkQuadraticTriangle, vtkQuadraticWedge, vtkTetra, vtkTriangle, vtkTriangleStrip, vtkTriQuadraticHexahedron, vtkTriQuadraticPyramid, vtkVertex, vtkVoxel, and vtkWedge.

◆ Contour()

virtual void vtkCell::Contour	(	double	value,
		vtkDataArray *	cellScalars,
		vtkIncrementalPointLocator *	locator,
		vtkCellArray *	verts,
		vtkCellArray *	lines,
		vtkCellArray *	polys,
		vtkPointData *	inPd,
		vtkPointData *	outPd,
		vtkCellData *	inCd,
		vtkIdType	cellId,
		vtkCellData *	outCd
	)

pure virtual

Generate contouring primitives.

The scalar list cellScalars are scalar values at each cell point. The point locator is essentially a points list that merges points as they are inserted (i.e., prevents duplicates). Contouring primitives can be vertices, lines, or polygons. It is possible to interpolate point data along the edge by providing input and output point data - if outPd is nullptr, then no interpolation is performed. Also, if the output cell data is non-nullptr, the cell data from the contoured cell is passed to the generated contouring primitives. (Note: the CopyAllocate() method must be invoked on both the output cell and point data. The cellId refers to the cell from which the cell data is copied.)

Implemented in vtkBiQuadraticQuad, vtkBiQuadraticQuadraticHexahedron, vtkBiQuadraticQuadraticWedge, vtkBiQuadraticTriangle, vtkCell3D, vtkConvexPointSet, vtkCubicLine, vtkGenericCell, vtkHexahedron, vtkHigherOrderCurve, vtkHigherOrderHexahedron, vtkHigherOrderQuadrilateral, vtkHigherOrderTetra, vtkHigherOrderTriangle, vtkHigherOrderWedge, vtkLine, vtkPixel, vtkPolygon, vtkPolyLine, vtkPolyVertex, vtkPyramid, vtkQuad, vtkQuadraticEdge, vtkQuadraticHexahedron, vtkQuadraticLinearQuad, vtkQuadraticLinearWedge, vtkQuadraticPolygon, vtkQuadraticPyramid, vtkQuadraticQuad, vtkQuadraticTetra, vtkQuadraticTriangle, vtkQuadraticWedge, vtkTetra, vtkTriangle, vtkTriangleStrip, vtkTriQuadraticHexahedron, vtkTriQuadraticPyramid, vtkVoxel, vtkWedge, vtkEmptyCell, vtkVertex, and vtkPolyhedron.

◆ Clip()

virtual void vtkCell::Clip	(	double	value,
		vtkDataArray *	cellScalars,
		vtkIncrementalPointLocator *	locator,
		vtkCellArray *	connectivity,
		vtkPointData *	inPd,
		vtkPointData *	outPd,
		vtkCellData *	inCd,
		vtkIdType	cellId,
		vtkCellData *	outCd,
		int	insideOut
	)

pure virtual

Cut (or clip) the cell based on the input cellScalars and the specified value.

The output of the clip operation will be one or more cells of the same topological dimension as the original cell. The flag insideOut controls what part of the cell is considered inside - normally cell points whose scalar value is greater than "value" are considered inside. If insideOut is on, this is reversed. Also, if the output cell data is non-nullptr, the cell data from the clipped cell is passed to the generated contouring primitives. (Note: the CopyAllocate() method must be invoked on both the output cell and point data. The cellId refers to the cell from which the cell data is copied.)

Implemented in vtkCell3D, vtkConvexPointSet, vtkGenericCell, vtkTetra, vtkCubicLine, vtkLine, vtkPolyLine, vtkQuadraticEdge, vtkBiQuadraticQuad, vtkBiQuadraticTriangle, vtkHigherOrderCurve, vtkHigherOrderHexahedron, vtkHigherOrderQuadrilateral, vtkHigherOrderTetra, vtkHigherOrderTriangle, vtkHigherOrderWedge, vtkPixel, vtkQuad, vtkQuadraticLinearQuad, vtkQuadraticPolygon, vtkQuadraticQuad, vtkQuadraticTriangle, vtkTriangle, vtkTriangleStrip, vtkEmptyCell, vtkVertex, vtkBiQuadraticQuadraticHexahedron, vtkBiQuadraticQuadraticWedge, vtkQuadraticHexahedron, vtkQuadraticLinearWedge, vtkQuadraticTetra, vtkQuadraticWedge, vtkTriQuadraticHexahedron, vtkQuadraticPyramid, vtkTriQuadraticPyramid, vtkPolygon, vtkPolyVertex, and vtkPolyhedron.

◆ Inflate()

virtual int vtkCell::Inflate ( double dist )

virtual

Inflates the cell.

Each edge is displaced following its normal by a distance of value dist. If dist is negative, then the cell shrinks. The resulting cell edges / faces are colinear / coplanar to their previous self.

The cell is assumed to be non-degenerate and to have no edge of length zero for linear 2D cells. If it is not the case, then no inflation is performed. This method needs to be overriden by inheriting non-linear / non-2D cells.

Returns: 1 if inflation was successful, 0 if no inflation was performed

Reimplemented in vtkCell3D, vtkLine, vtkPixel, vtkVoxel, and vtkVertex.

◆ ComputeBoundingSphere()

virtual double vtkCell::ComputeBoundingSphere ( double center[3] ) const

virtual

Computes the bounding sphere of the cell.

If the number of points in the cell is lower or equal to 4, an exact bounding sphere is computed. If not, Ritter's algorithm is followed. If the input sphere has zero points, then each coordinate of center is set to NaN, as well as the returned distance.

This method computes the center of the sphere, and returns its squared radius.

Reimplemented in vtkPixel, and vtkVoxel.

◆ IntersectWithLine()

virtual int vtkCell::IntersectWithLine	(	const double	p1[3],
		const double	p2[3],
		double	tol,
		double &	t,
		double	x[3],
		double	pcoords[3],
		int &	subId
	)

pure virtual

Intersect with a ray.

Return parametric coordinates (both line and cell) and global intersection coordinates, given ray definition p1[3], p2[3] and tolerance tol. The method returns non-zero value if intersection occurs. A parametric distance t between 0 and 1 along the ray representing the intersection point, the point coordinates x[3] in data coordinates and also pcoords[3] in parametric coordinates. subId is the index within the cell if a composed cell like a triangle strip.

Implemented in vtkBiQuadraticQuad, vtkBiQuadraticQuadraticHexahedron, vtkBiQuadraticQuadraticWedge, vtkBiQuadraticTriangle, vtkConvexPointSet, vtkCubicLine, vtkEmptyCell, vtkGenericCell, vtkHexagonalPrism, vtkHexahedron, vtkHigherOrderCurve, vtkHigherOrderHexahedron, vtkHigherOrderQuadrilateral, vtkHigherOrderTetra, vtkHigherOrderTriangle, vtkHigherOrderWedge, vtkLine, vtkPentagonalPrism, vtkPixel, vtkPolygon, vtkPolyhedron, vtkPolyLine, vtkPolyVertex, vtkPyramid, vtkQuad, vtkQuadraticEdge, vtkQuadraticHexahedron, vtkQuadraticLinearQuad, vtkQuadraticLinearWedge, vtkQuadraticPolygon, vtkQuadraticPyramid, vtkQuadraticQuad, vtkQuadraticTetra, vtkQuadraticTriangle, vtkQuadraticWedge, vtkTetra, vtkTriangle, vtkTriangleStrip, vtkTriQuadraticHexahedron, vtkTriQuadraticPyramid, vtkVertex, vtkVoxel, and vtkWedge.

◆ IntersectWithCell() [1/2]

virtual int vtkCell::IntersectWithCell	(	vtkCell *	other,
		double	tol = `0.0`
	)

virtual

Intersects with an other cell.

Returns 1 if cells intersect, 0 otherwise. If an exact intersection detection with regards to floating point precision is wanted, tol should be disregarded. vtkBoundingBox are optional parameters which slightly improve the speed of the computation if bounding boxes are already available to user.

◆ IntersectWithCell() [2/2]

virtual int vtkCell::IntersectWithCell	(	vtkCell *	other,
		const vtkBoundingBox &	boudingBox,
		const vtkBoundingBox &	otherBoundingBox,
		double	tol = `0.0`
	)

virtual

Intersects with an other cell.

Returns 1 if cells intersect, 0 otherwise. If an exact intersection detection with regards to floating point precision is wanted, tol should be disregarded. vtkBoundingBox are optional parameters which slightly improve the speed of the computation if bounding boxes are already available to user.

◆ Triangulate()

virtual int vtkCell::Triangulate	(	int	index,
		vtkIdList *	ptIds,
		vtkPoints *	pts
	)

pure virtual

Generate simplices of proper dimension.

If cell is 3D, tetrahedron are generated; if 2D triangles; if 1D lines; if 0D points. The form of the output is a sequence of points, each n+1 points (where n is topological cell dimension) defining a simplex. The index is a parameter that controls which triangulation to use (if more than one is possible). If numerical degeneracy encountered, 0 is returned, otherwise 1 is returned. This method does not insert new points: all the points that define the simplices are the points that define the cell.

Implemented in vtkBiQuadraticQuad, vtkBiQuadraticQuadraticHexahedron, vtkBiQuadraticQuadraticWedge, vtkBiQuadraticTriangle, vtkConvexPointSet, vtkCubicLine, vtkEmptyCell, vtkGenericCell, vtkHexagonalPrism, vtkHexahedron, vtkHigherOrderCurve, vtkHigherOrderHexahedron, vtkHigherOrderQuadrilateral, vtkHigherOrderTetra, vtkHigherOrderTriangle, vtkHigherOrderWedge, vtkLine, vtkPentagonalPrism, vtkPixel, vtkPolygon, vtkPolyhedron, vtkPolyLine, vtkPolyVertex, vtkPyramid, vtkQuad, vtkQuadraticEdge, vtkQuadraticHexahedron, vtkQuadraticLinearQuad, vtkQuadraticLinearWedge, vtkQuadraticPolygon, vtkQuadraticPyramid, vtkQuadraticQuad, vtkQuadraticTetra, vtkQuadraticTriangle, vtkQuadraticWedge, vtkTetra, vtkTriangle, vtkTriangleStrip, vtkTriQuadraticHexahedron, vtkTriQuadraticPyramid, vtkVertex, vtkVoxel, and vtkWedge.

◆ Derivatives()

virtual void vtkCell::Derivatives	(	int	subId,
		const double	pcoords[3],
		const double *	values,
		int	dim,
		double *	derivs
	)

pure virtual

Compute derivatives given cell subId and parametric coordinates.

The values array is a series of data value(s) at the cell points. There is a one-to-one correspondence between cell point and data value(s). Dim is the number of data values per cell point. Derivs are derivatives in the x-y-z coordinate directions for each data value. Thus, if computing derivatives for a scalar function in a hexahedron, dim=1, 8 values are supplied, and 3 deriv values are returned (i.e., derivatives in x-y-z directions). On the other hand, if computing derivatives of velocity (vx,vy,vz) dim=3, 24 values are supplied ((vx,vy,vz)1, (vx,vy,vz)2, ....()8), and 9 deriv values are returned ((d(vx)/dx),(d(vx)/dy),(d(vx)/dz), (d(vy)/dx),(d(vy)/dy), (d(vy)/dz), (d(vz)/dx),(d(vz)/dy),(d(vz)/dz)).

Implemented in vtkBiQuadraticQuad, vtkBiQuadraticQuadraticHexahedron, vtkBiQuadraticQuadraticWedge, vtkBiQuadraticTriangle, vtkConvexPointSet, vtkCubicLine, vtkEmptyCell, vtkGenericCell, vtkHexagonalPrism, vtkHexahedron, vtkHigherOrderCurve, vtkHigherOrderHexahedron, vtkHigherOrderQuadrilateral, vtkHigherOrderTetra, vtkHigherOrderTriangle, vtkHigherOrderWedge, vtkLine, vtkPentagonalPrism, vtkPixel, vtkPolygon, vtkPolyhedron, vtkPolyLine, vtkPolyVertex, vtkPyramid, vtkQuad, vtkQuadraticEdge, vtkQuadraticHexahedron, vtkQuadraticLinearQuad, vtkQuadraticLinearWedge, vtkQuadraticPolygon, vtkQuadraticPyramid, vtkQuadraticQuad, vtkQuadraticTetra, vtkQuadraticTriangle, vtkQuadraticWedge, vtkTetra, vtkTriangle, vtkTriangleStrip, vtkTriQuadraticHexahedron, vtkTriQuadraticPyramid, vtkVertex, vtkVoxel, and vtkWedge.

◆ GetBounds() [1/2]

void vtkCell::GetBounds ( double bounds[6] )

Compute cell bounding box (xmin,xmax,ymin,ymax,zmin,zmax).

Copy result into user provided array.

◆ GetBounds() [2/2]

double * vtkCell::GetBounds ( )

Compute cell bounding box (xmin,xmax,ymin,ymax,zmin,zmax).

Return pointer to array of six double values.

◆ GetLength2()

double vtkCell::GetLength2 ( )

Compute Length squared of cell (i.e., bounding box diagonal squared).

◆ GetParametricCenter()

virtual int vtkCell::GetParametricCenter ( double pcoords[3] )

virtual

Return center of the cell in parametric coordinates.

Note that the parametric center is not always located at (0.5,0.5,0.5). The return value is the subId that the center is in (if a composite cell). If you want the center in x-y-z space, invoke the EvaluateLocation() method.

Reimplemented in vtkHigherOrderCurve, vtkHigherOrderHexahedron, vtkHigherOrderQuadrilateral, vtkHigherOrderWedge, vtkBiQuadraticQuad, vtkBiQuadraticQuadraticWedge, vtkBiQuadraticTriangle, vtkConvexPointSet, vtkCubicLine, vtkGenericCell, vtkHexagonalPrism, vtkHigherOrderTetra, vtkHigherOrderTriangle, vtkLine, vtkPentagonalPrism, vtkPixel, vtkPolyhedron, vtkPolyLine, vtkPolyVertex, vtkPyramid, vtkQuad, vtkQuadraticEdge, vtkQuadraticLinearQuad, vtkQuadraticLinearWedge, vtkQuadraticPyramid, vtkQuadraticQuad, vtkQuadraticTetra, vtkQuadraticTriangle, vtkQuadraticWedge, vtkTetra, vtkTriangle, vtkTriangleStrip, vtkTriQuadraticPyramid, vtkVertex, and vtkWedge.

◆ GetParametricDistance()

virtual double vtkCell::GetParametricDistance ( const double pcoords[3] )

virtual

Return the distance of the parametric coordinate provided to the cell.

If inside the cell, a distance of zero is returned. This is used during picking to get the correct cell picked. (The tolerance will occasionally allow cells to be picked who are not really intersected "inside" the cell.)

Reimplemented in vtkBiQuadraticTriangle, vtkCubicLine, vtkHigherOrderCurve, vtkHigherOrderHexahedron, vtkHigherOrderQuadrilateral, vtkHigherOrderTetra, vtkHigherOrderTriangle, vtkHigherOrderWedge, vtkQuadraticTetra, vtkQuadraticTriangle, vtkTetra, vtkTriangle, and vtkTriQuadraticPyramid.

◆ IsPrimaryCell()

virtual int vtkCell::IsPrimaryCell ( )

inlinevirtual

Return whether this cell type has a fixed topology or whether the topology varies depending on the data (e.g., vtkConvexPointSet).

This compares to composite cells that are typically composed of primary cells (e.g., a triangle strip composite cell is made up of triangle primary cells).

Reimplemented in vtkConvexPointSet, vtkGenericCell, vtkPolygon, vtkPolyhedron, vtkPolyLine, vtkPolyVertex, vtkQuadraticPolygon, and vtkTriangleStrip.

Definition at line 459 of file vtkCell.h.

◆ GetParametricCoords()

virtual double * vtkCell::GetParametricCoords ( )

virtual

Return a contiguous array of parametric coordinates of the points defining this cell.

In other words, (px,py,pz, px,py,pz, etc..) The coordinates are ordered consistent with the definition of the point ordering for the cell. This method returns a non-nullptr pointer when the cell is a primary type (i.e., IsPrimaryCell() is true). Note that 3D parametric coordinates are returned no matter what the topological dimension of the cell.

Reimplemented in vtkBiQuadraticQuad, vtkBiQuadraticQuadraticHexahedron, vtkBiQuadraticQuadraticWedge, vtkBiQuadraticTriangle, vtkConvexPointSet, vtkCubicLine, vtkGenericCell, vtkHexagonalPrism, vtkHexahedron, vtkHigherOrderCurve, vtkHigherOrderHexahedron, vtkHigherOrderQuadrilateral, vtkHigherOrderTetra, vtkHigherOrderTriangle, vtkHigherOrderWedge, vtkLine, vtkPentagonalPrism, vtkPixel, vtkPolyhedron, vtkPyramid, vtkQuad, vtkQuadraticEdge, vtkQuadraticHexahedron, vtkQuadraticLinearQuad, vtkQuadraticLinearWedge, vtkQuadraticPyramid, vtkQuadraticQuad, vtkQuadraticTetra, vtkQuadraticTriangle, vtkQuadraticWedge, vtkTetra, vtkTriangle, vtkTriQuadraticHexahedron, vtkTriQuadraticPyramid, vtkVertex, vtkVoxel, and vtkWedge.

		double *	vtkNotUsedweight
	)

inlinevirtual

Compute the interpolation functions/derivatives (aka shape functions/derivatives) No-ops at this level.

Typically overridden in subclasses.
