Detailed Description

abstract class specifies interface to map data.

Date:

Revision:
1.14

vtkAbstractMapper is an abstract class to specify interface between data and graphics primitives or software rendering techniques. Subclasses of vtkAbstractMapper can be used for rendering 2D data, geometry, or volumetric data.

Member Function Documentation

virtual const char* vtkAbstractMapper::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 vtkProcessObject.

Reimplemented in vtkMapper2D.

virtual float vtkAbstractMapper::GetTimeToDraw   [virtual]
 

Get the time required to draw the geometry last time it was rendered

virtual int vtkAbstractMapper::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 vtkProcessObject.

Reimplemented in vtkMapper2D.

int vtkAbstractMapper::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 vtkProcessObject.

Reimplemented in vtkMapper2D.

void vtkAbstractMapper::PrintSelf ostream &    os,
vtkIndent    indent
[virtual]
 

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 vtkProcessObject.

Reimplemented in vtkMapper2D.

virtual void vtkAbstractMapper::ReleaseGraphicsResources vtkWindow   [inline, virtual]
 

Release any graphics resources that are being consumed by this mapper. The parameter window could be used to determine which graphic resources to release.

Reimplemented in vtkDataSetMapper.

vtkAbstractMapper* vtkAbstractMapper::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 vtkProcessObject.

Reimplemented in vtkMapper2D.
