It takes polygonal // data as input and generates polygonal data on output. The input dataset // is swept around the z-axis to create new polygonal primitives. These // primitives form a "skirt" or swept surface. For example, sweeping a // line results in a cylindrical shell, and sweeping a circle creates a // torus. // // There are a number of control parameters for this filter. You can // control whether the sweep of a 2D object (i.e., polygon or triangle // strip) is capped with the generating geometry via the "Capping" instance // variable. Also, you can control the angle of rotation, and whether // translation along the z-axis is performed along with the rotation. // (Translation is useful for creating "springs".) You also can adjust // the radius of the generating geometry using the "DeltaRotation" instance // variable. // // The skirt is generated by locating certain topological features. Free // edges (edges of polygons or triangle strips only used by one polygon or // triangle strips) generate surfaces. This is true also of lines or // polylines. Vertices generate lines. // // This filter can be used to model axisymmetric objects like cylinders, // bottles, and wine glasses; or translational/rotational symmetric objects // like springs or corkscrews. // .SECTION Caveats // If the object sweeps 360 degrees, radius does not vary, and the object // does not translate, capping is not performed. This is because the cap // is unnecessary. // // Some polygonal objects have no free edges (e.g., sphere). When swept, // this will result in two separate surfaces if capping is on, or no surface // if capping is off. // .SECTION See Also // vtkLinearExtrusionFilter #ifndef __vtkRotationalExtrusionFilter_h #define __vtkRotationalExtrusionFilter_h #include "vtkPolyDataAlgorithm.h" class VTK_GRAPHICS_EXPORT vtkRotationalExtrusionFilter : public vtkPolyDataAlgorithm { public: vtkTypeRevisionMacro(vtkRotationalExtrusionFilter,vtkPolyDataAlgorithm); void PrintSelf(ostream& os, vtkIndent indent); // Description: // Create object with capping on, angle of 360 degrees, resolution = 12, and // no translation along z-axis. // vector (0,0,1), and point (0,0,0). static vtkRotationalExtrusionFilter *New(); // Description: // Set/Get resolution of sweep operation.
