Clipping means that it actually "cuts" through the cells of // the dataset, returning everything inside of the specified implicit // function (or greater than the scalar value) including "pieces" of // a cell. (Compare this with vtkExtractGeometry, which pulls out // entire, uncut cells.) The output of this filter is an unstructured // grid. // // To use this filter, you must decide if you will be clipping with an // implicit function, or whether you will be using the input scalar // data. If you want to clip with an implicit function, you must: // 1) define an implicit function // 2) set it with the SetClipFunction method // 3) apply the GenerateClipScalarsOn method // If a ClipFunction is not specified, or GenerateClipScalars is off // (the default), then the input's scalar data will be used to clip // the polydata. // // You can also specify a scalar value, which is used to decide what is // inside and outside of the implicit function. You can also reverse the // sense of what inside/outside is by setting the InsideOut instance // variable. (The clipping algorithm proceeds by computing an implicit // function value or using the input scalar data for each point in the // dataset. This is compared to the scalar value to determine // inside/outside.) // // This filter can be configured to compute a second output. The // second output is the part of the cell that is clipped away. Set the // GenerateClippedData boolean on if you wish to access this output data. // .SECTION Caveats // vtkClipDataSet will triangulate all types of 3D cells (i.e., create // tetrahedra). This is true even if the cell is not actually cut. This // is necessary to preserve compatibility across face neighbors. 2D cells // will only be triangulated if the cutting function passes through them. // .SECTION See Also // vtkImplicitFunction vtkCutter vtkClipVolume vtkClipPolyData #ifndef __vtkClipDataSet_h #define __vtkClipDataSet_h #include "vtkUnstructuredGridAlgorithm.h" class vtkImplicitFunction; class vtkPointLocator; class VTK_GRAPHICS_EXPORT vtkClipDataSet : public vtkUnstructuredGridAlgorithm { public: vtkTypeRevisionMacro(vtkClipDataSet,vtkUnstructuredGridAlgorithm); void PrintSelf(ostream& os, vtkIndent indent); // Description: // Construct with user-specified implicit function; InsideOut turned off; // value set to 0.0; and generate clip scalars turned off. static vtkClipDataSet *New(); // Description: // Set the clipping value of the implicit function (if clipping with // implicit function) or scalar value (if clipping with // scalars).
