Detailed Description

a 3D cell that represents a linear wedge

vtkWedge is a concrete implementation of vtkCell to represent a linear 3D wedge. A wedge consists of two triangular and three quadrilateral faces and is defined by the six points (0-5). vtkWedge uses the standard isoparametric shape functions for a linear pyramid. The pyramid is defined by the six points (0-5) where (0,1,2) is the base of the wedge which, using the right hand rule, forms a triangle whose normal points in the direction of the opposite triangular face (3,4,5).

Get the list of vertices that define a face. The list is terminated with a negative number. Note that the vertices are 0-offset; that is, they refer to the ids of the cell, not the point ids of the mesh that the cell belongs to. The faceId must range between 0<=faceId<this->GetNumberOfFaces().

int vtkWedge::CellBoundary int  subId,
double  pcoords[3],
vtkIdList pts
[virtual]
 

Given parametric coordinates of a point, return the closest cell boundary, and whether the point is inside or outside of the cell. The cell boundary is defined by a list of points (pts) that specify a face (3D cell), edge (2D cell), or vertex (1D cell). If the return value of the method is != 0, then the point is inside the cell.

Implements vtkCell.

Generate contouring primitives. The scalar list cellScalars are scalar values at each cell point. The point locator is essentially a points list that merges points as they are inserted (i.e., prevents duplicates). Contouring primitives can be vertices, lines, or polygons. It is possible to interpolate point data along the edge by providing input and output point data - if outPd is NULL, then no interpolation is performed. Also, if the output cell data is non-NULL, the cell data from the contoured cell is passed to the generated contouring primitives. (Note: the CopyAllocate() method must be invoked on both the output cell and point data. The cellId refers to the cell from which the cell data is copied.)

Implements vtkCell.

int vtkWedge::EvaluatePosition double  x[3],
double *  closestPoint,
int &  subId,
double  pcoords[3],
double &  dist2,
double *  weights
[virtual]
 

Given a point x[3] return inside(=1) or outside(=0) cell; evaluate parametric coordinates, sub-cell id (!=0 only if cell is composite), distance squared of point x[3] to cell (in particular, the sub-cell indicated), closest point on cell to x[3] (unless closestPoint is null, in which case, the closest point and dist2 are not found), and interpolation weights in cell. (The number of weights is equal to the number of points defining the cell). Note: on rare occasions a -1 is returned from the method. This means that numerical error has occurred and all data returned from this method should be ignored. Also, inside/outside is determine parametrically. That is, a point is inside if it satisfies parametric limits. This can cause problems for cells of topological dimension 2 or less, since a point in 3D can project onto the cell within parametric limits but be "far" from the cell. Thus the value dist2 may be checked to determine true in/out.

Implements vtkCell.

void vtkWedge::EvaluateLocation int &  subId,
double  pcoords[3],
double  x[3],
double *  weights
[virtual]
 

Determine global coordinate (x[3]) from subId and parametric coordinates. Also returns interpolation weights. (The number of weights is equal to the number of points in the cell.)

Implements vtkCell.

int vtkWedge::IntersectWithLine double  p1[3],
double  p2[3],
double  tol,
double &  t,
double  x[3],
double  pcoords[3],
int &  subId
[virtual]
 

Intersect with a ray. Return parametric coordinates (both line and cell) and global intersection coordinates, given ray definition and tolerance. The method returns non-zero value if intersection occurs.

Implements vtkCell.

int vtkWedge::Triangulate int  index,
vtkIdList ptIds,
vtkPoints pts
[virtual]
 

Generate simplices of proper dimension. If cell is 3D, tetrahedron are generated; if 2D triangles; if 1D lines; if 0D points. The form of the output is a sequence of points, each n+1 points (where n is topological cell dimension) defining a simplex. The index is a parameter that controls which triangulation to use (if more than one is possible). If numerical degeneracy encountered, 0 is returned, otherwise 1 is returned.

Implements vtkCell.

void vtkWedge::Derivatives int  subId,
double  pcoords[3],
double *  values,
int  dim,
double *  derivs
[virtual]
 

Compute derivatives given cell subId and parametric coordinates. The values array is a series of data value(s) at the cell points. There is a one-to-one correspondence between cell point and data value(s). Dim is the number of data values per cell point. Derivs are derivatives in the x-y-z coordinate directions for each data value. Thus, if computing derivatives for a scalar function in a hexahedron, dim=1, 8 values are supplied, and 3 deriv values are returned (i.e., derivatives in x-y-z directions). On the other hand, if computing derivatives of velocity (vx,vy,vz) dim=3, 24 values are supplied ((vx,vy,vz)1, (vx,vy,vz)2, ....()8), and 9 deriv values are returned ((d(vx)/dx),(d(vx)/dy),(d(vx)/dz), (d(vy)/dx),(d(vy)/dy), (d(vy)/dz), (d(vz)/dx),(d(vz)/dy),(d(vz)/dz)).

Implements vtkCell.

virtual double* vtkWedge::GetParametricCoords  )  [virtual]
 

Return a contiguous array of parametric coordinates of the points defining this cell. In other words, (px,py,pz, px,py,pz, etc..) The coordinates are ordered consistent with the definition of the point ordering for the cell. This method returns a non-NULL pointer when the cell is a primary type (i.e., IsPrimaryCell() is true). Note that 3D parametric coordinates are returned no matter what the topological dimension of the cell.

Return the center of the wedge in parametric coordinates.
