Detailed Description

Abstract class in support of both point location and point insertion.

Compared to a static point locator for pure location functionalities through some search structure established from a fixed set of points, an incremental point locator allows for, in addition, point insertion capabilities, with the search structure maintaining a dynamically increasing number of points. There are two incremental point locators, i.e., vtkPointLocator and vtkIncrementalOctreePointLocator. As opposed to the uniform bin-based search structure (adopted in vtkPointLocator) with a fixed spatial resolution, an octree mechanism (employed in vtkIncrementalOctreePointlocator) resorts to a hierarchy of tree-like sub-division of the 3D data domain. Thus it enables data-aware multi- resolution and accordingly accelerated point location as well as point insertion, particularly when handling a radically imbalanced layout of points as not uncommon in datasets defined on adaptive meshes. In other words, vtkIncrementalOctreePointLocator is an octree-based accelerated implementation of all functionalities of vtkPointLocator.

FindClosestInsertedPoint()

virtual vtkIdType vtkIncrementalPointLocator::FindClosestInsertedPoint ( const double  x[3] )

pure virtual

Given a point x assumed to be covered by the search structure, return the index of the closest point (already inserted to the search structure) regardless of the associated minimum squared distance relative to the squared insertion-tolerance distance.

This method is used when performing incremental point insertion. Note -1 indicates that no point is found. InitPointInsertion() should have been called in advance.

Implemented in vtkIncrementalOctreePointLocator, and vtkPointLocator.

InitPointInsertion() [1/2]

virtual int vtkIncrementalPointLocator::InitPointInsertion ( vtkPoints *  newPts, const double  bounds[6]  )

pure virtual

Initialize the point insertion process.

newPts is an object, storing 3D point coordinates, to which incremental point insertion puts coordinates. It is created and provided by an external VTK class. Argument bounds represents the spatial bounding box, into which the points fall.

Implemented in vtkPointLocator, and vtkIncrementalOctreePointLocator.

InitPointInsertion() [2/2]

virtual int vtkIncrementalPointLocator::InitPointInsertion ( vtkPoints *  newPts, const double  bounds[6], vtkIdType  estSize  )

pure virtual

Initialize the point insertion process.

newPts is an object, storing 3D point coordinates, to which incremental point insertion puts coordinates. It is created and provided by an external VTK class. Argument bounds represents the spatial bounding box, into which the points fall.

Implemented in vtkPointLocator, and vtkIncrementalOctreePointLocator.

IsInsertedPoint() [1/2]

virtual vtkIdType vtkIncrementalPointLocator::IsInsertedPoint ( double  x, double  y, double  z  )

pure virtual

Determine whether or not a given point has been inserted.

Return the id of the already inserted point if true, else return -1. InitPointInsertion() should have been called in advance.

Implemented in vtkIncrementalOctreePointLocator, vtkMergePoints, vtkPointLocator, and vtkNonMergingPointLocator.

IsInsertedPoint() [2/2]

virtual vtkIdType vtkIncrementalPointLocator::IsInsertedPoint ( const double  x[3] )

pure virtual

Determine whether or not a given point has been inserted.

Return the id of the already inserted point if true, else return -1. InitPointInsertion() should have been called in advance.

Implemented in vtkIncrementalOctreePointLocator, vtkMergePoints, vtkPointLocator, and vtkNonMergingPointLocator.

InsertUniquePoint()

virtual int vtkIncrementalPointLocator::InsertUniquePoint ( const double  x[3], vtkIdType &  ptId  )

pure virtual

Insert a point unless there has been a duplicate in the search structure.

This method is not thread safe.

Implemented in vtkIncrementalOctreePointLocator, vtkMergePoints, vtkNonMergingPointLocator, and vtkPointLocator.

InsertPoint()

virtual void vtkIncrementalPointLocator::InsertPoint ( vtkIdType  ptId, const double  x[3]  )

pure virtual

Insert a given point with a specified point index ptId.

InitPointInsertion() should have been called prior to this function. Also, IsInsertedPoint() should have been called in advance to ensure that the given point has not been inserted unless point duplication is allowed.

Implemented in vtkIncrementalOctreePointLocator, and vtkPointLocator.

InsertNextPoint()

virtual vtkIdType vtkIncrementalPointLocator::InsertNextPoint ( const double  x[3] )

pure virtual

Insert a given point and return the point index.

InitPointInsertion() should have been called prior to this function. Also, IsInsertedPoint() should have been called in advance to ensure that the given point has not been inserted unless point duplication is allowed.

Implemented in vtkIncrementalOctreePointLocator, and vtkPointLocator.
