vtkQuantizePolyDataPoints is a subclass of vtkCleanPolyData and inherits the functionality of vtkCleanPolyData with the addition that it quantizes the point coordinates before inserting into the point list. The user should set QFactor to a positive value (0.25 by default) and all {x,y,z} coordinates will be quantized to that grain size.

A tolerance of zero is expected, though positive values may be used, the quantization will take place before the tolerance is applied.

Warning:
Merging points can alter topology, including introducing non-manifold forms. Handling of degenerate cells is controlled by switches in vtkCleanPolyData.

Member Function Documentation

const char* vtkQuantizePolyDataPoints::GetClassName   [inline, 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 vtkCleanPolyData.

vtkQuantizePolyDataPoints* vtkQuantizePolyDataPoints::New   [static]
 

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

Reimplemented from vtkCleanPolyData.

virtual void vtkQuantizePolyDataPoints::OperateOnBounds float    in[6],
float    out[6]
[virtual]
 

Perform quantization on bounds

Reimplemented from vtkCleanPolyData.

virtual void vtkQuantizePolyDataPoints::OperateOnPoint float    in[3],
float    out[3]
[virtual]
 

Perform quantization on a point

Reimplemented from vtkCleanPolyData.

void vtkQuantizePolyDataPoints::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 vtkCleanPolyData.

virtual void vtkQuantizePolyDataPoints::SetQFactor float    [virtual]
 

Specify quantization grain size
