Thanks:
Thanks to David G. Gobbi who developed this class.
vtkGeneralTransform is like vtkTransform and vtkPerspectiveTransform, but it will work with any vtkAbstractTransform as input. It is not as efficient as the other two, however, because arbitrary transformations cannot be concatenated by matrix multiplication. Transform concatenation is simulated by passing each input point through each transform in turn.

Member Function Documentation

int vtkGeneralTransform::CircuitCheck vtkAbstractTransform   transform [virtual]
 

Check for self-reference. Will return true if concatenating with the specified transform, setting it to be our inverse, or setting it to be our input will create a circular reference. CircuitCheck is automatically called by SetInput(), SetInverse(), and Concatenate(vtkXTransform *). Avoid using this function, it is experimental.

Reimplemented from vtkAbstractTransform.

void vtkGeneralTransform::Concatenate vtkAbstractTransform   transform
 

Concatenate the specified transform with the current transformation according to PreMultiply or PostMultiply semantics. The concatenation is pipelined, meaning that if any of the transformations are changed, even after Concatenate() is called, those changes will be reflected when you call TransformPoint().

void vtkGeneralTransform::Concatenate vtkMatrix4x4   matrix [inline]
 

Concatenates the matrix with the current transformation according to PreMultiply or PostMultiply semantics.

virtual const char* vtkGeneralTransform::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 vtkAbstractTransform.

unsigned long vtkGeneralTransform::GetMTime   [virtual]
 

Override GetMTime to account for input and concatenation.

Reimplemented from vtkAbstractTransform.

void vtkGeneralTransform::Identity   [inline]
 

Set this transformation to the identity transformation. If the transform has an Input, then the transformation will be reset so that it is the same as the Input.

Reimplemented from vtkAbstractTransform.

void vtkGeneralTransform::InternalDeepCopy vtkAbstractTransform   t [protected, virtual]
 

Perform any subclass-specific DeepCopy.

Reimplemented from vtkAbstractTransform.

void vtkGeneralTransform::InternalTransformDerivative const float    in[3],
float    out[3],
float    derivative[3][3]
[virtual]
 

This will calculate the transformation as well as its derivative without calling Update. Meant for use only within other VTK classes.

Implements vtkAbstractTransform.

void vtkGeneralTransform::InternalTransformPoint const float    in[3],
float    out[3]
[virtual]
 

This will calculate the transformation without calling Update. Meant for use only within other VTK classes.

Implements vtkAbstractTransform.

void vtkGeneralTransform::InternalUpdate   [protected, virtual]
 

Perform any subclass-specific Update.

Reimplemented from vtkAbstractTransform.

void vtkGeneralTransform::Inverse   [inline, virtual]
 

Invert the transformation. This will also set a flag so that the transformation will use the inverse of its Input, if an Input has been set.

Implements vtkAbstractTransform.

virtual int vtkGeneralTransform::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 vtkAbstractTransform.

int vtkGeneralTransform::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 vtkAbstractTransform.

vtkAbstractTransform* vtkGeneralTransform::MakeTransform   [virtual]
 

Make another transform of the same type.

Implements vtkAbstractTransform.

vtkGeneralTransform* vtkGeneralTransform::New   [static]
 

Create an object with Debug turned off, modified time initialized to zero, and reference counting on.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

void vtkGeneralTransform::Pop   [inline]
 

Deletes the transformation on the top of the stack and sets the top to the next transformation on the stack.

void vtkGeneralTransform::PostMultiply   [inline]
 

Sets the internal state of the transform to PostMultiply. All subsequent operations will occur after those already represented in the current transformation. In homogeneous matrix notation, M = A*M where M is the current transformation matrix and A is the applied matrix. The default is PreMultiply.

void vtkGeneralTransform::PreMultiply   [inline]
 

Sets the internal state of the transform to PreMultiply. All subsequent operations will occur before those already represented in the current transformation. In homogeneous matrix notation, M = M*A where M is the current transformation matrix and A is the applied matrix. The default is PreMultiply.

void vtkGeneralTransform::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 vtkAbstractTransform.

void vtkGeneralTransform::Push   [inline]
 

Pushes the current transformation onto the transformation stack.

void vtkGeneralTransform::RotateWXYZ double    angle,
double    x,
double    y,
double    z
[inline]
 

Create a rotation matrix and concatenate it with the current transformation according to PreMultiply or PostMultiply semantics. The angle is in degrees, and (x,y,z) specifies the axis that the rotation will be performed around.

void vtkGeneralTransform::RotateX double    angle [inline]
 

Create a rotation matrix about the X, Y, or Z axis and concatenate it with the current transformation according to PreMultiply or PostMultiply semantics. The angle is expressed in degrees.

vtkGeneralTransform* vtkGeneralTransform::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 vtkAbstractTransform.

void vtkGeneralTransform::Scale double    x,
double    y,
double    z
[inline]
 

Create a scale matrix (i.e. set the diagonal elements to x, y, z) and concatenate it with the current transformation according to PreMultiply or PostMultiply semantics.

void vtkGeneralTransform::SetInput vtkAbstractTransform   input
 

Set the input for this transformation. This will be used as the base transformation if it is set. This method allows you to build a transform pipeline: if the input is modified, then this transformation will automatically update accordingly.

void vtkGeneralTransform::Translate double    x,
double    y,
double    z
[inline]
 

Create a translation matrix and concatenate it with the current transformation according to PreMultiply or PostMultiply semantics.
