Member Function Documentation

void vtkPolyDataSource::ComputeInputUpdateExtents vtkDataObject   output [protected, virtual]
 

What is the input update extent that is required to produce the desired output? By default, the whole input is always required but this is overridden in many subclasses.

Reimplemented from vtkSource.

Reimplemented in vtkAppendPolyData.

virtual const char* vtkPolyDataSource::GetClassName   [virtual]
 

Return the class name as a string. This method is defined in all subclasses of vtkObject with the vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkSource.

Reimplemented in vtkArcPlotter.

vtkPolyData* vtkPolyDataSource::GetOutput  
 

Get the output of this source.

Reimplemented in vtkSpatialRepresentationFilter.

virtual int vtkPolyDataSource::IsA const char *    type [virtual]
 

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.

Reimplemented from vtkSource.

Reimplemented in vtkArcPlotter.

int vtkPolyDataSource::IsTypeOf const char *    type [static]
 

Return 1 if this class type 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.

Reimplemented from vtkSource.

Reimplemented in vtkArcPlotter.

vtkPolyDataSource* vtkPolyDataSource::New   [static]
 

Instantiate object with no start, end, or progress methods.

Reimplemented from vtkSource.

Reimplemented in vtkArcPlotter.

vtkPolyDataSource* vtkPolyDataSource::SafeDownCast vtkObject   o [static]
 

Will cast the supplied object to vtkObject* is this is a safe operation (i.e., a safe downcast); otherwise NULL is returned. This method is defined in all subclasses of vtkObject with the vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkSource.

Reimplemented in vtkArcPlotter.
