Detailed Description

is a helper class that aids in transferring data between CPU memory and GPU memory.

vtkDataTransferHelper is a helper class that aids in transferring data between the CPU memory and the GPU memory. The data in GPU memory is stored as textures which that in CPU memory is stored as vtkDataArray. vtkDataTransferHelper provides API to transfer only a sub-extent of CPU structured data to/from the GPU.

Return 1 if this class is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class.

Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

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 vtkObject.

◆ SetContext()

void vtkDataTransferHelper::SetContext ( vtkRenderWindow * context )

Get/Set the context.

Context must be a vtkOpenGLRenderWindow. This does not increase the reference count of the context to avoid reference loops. SetContext() may raise an error if the OpenGL context does not support the required OpenGL extensions.

◆ GetContext()

vtkRenderWindow * vtkDataTransferHelper::GetContext ( )

Get/Set the context.

Context must be a vtkOpenGLRenderWindow. This does not increase the reference count of the context to avoid reference loops. SetContext() may raise an error if the OpenGL context does not support the required OpenGL extensions.

Set the CPU data extent.

The extent matches the vtkDataArray size. If the vtkDataArray comes from an vtkImageData and it is part of the point data, it is usually the vtkImageData extent. It can be on cell data too, but in this case it does not match the vtkImageData extent. If the vtkDataArray comes from a vtkDataSet, just set it to a one-dimenstional extent equal to the number of tuples. Initial value is (0,0,0,0,0,0), a valid one tuple array.

It can be on cell data too, but in this case it does not match the vtkImageData extent. If the vtkDataArray comes from a vtkDataSet, just set it to a one-dimenstional extent equal to the number of tuples. Initial value is (0,0,0,0,0,0), a valid one tuple array.
