Detailed Description

abstract superclass for cells requiring an explicit representation

vtkExplicitCell is an abstract superclass for cells that cannot be represented implicitly. An implicit representation requires only a cell type and connectivity list (e.g., triangle). Explicit cells require information beyond this; e.g., a NURBS surface or cells that require explicit face/edge descriptions. Most cells in VTK are implicitly represented.

virtual int vtkExplicitCell::IsExplicitCell ( )

inlinevirtual

Explicit cells require additional representational information beyond the usual cell type and connectivity list information. Most cells in VTK are implicit cells. The vtkCell::IsImplicitCell() virtual function is overloaded to reflect this requirement.

Definition at line 43 of file vtkExplicitCell.h.

virtual void vtkExplicitCell::SetCellId ( vtkIdType  )

virtual

Set/Get the cell id. This is necessary for explicit cells because they often need to keep extra information (typically contained in the cell data of a point set). This information might be things like knot points/weights, boundaries, etc.

virtual vtkIdType vtkExplicitCell::GetCellId ( )

virtual

Set/Get the cell id. This is necessary for explicit cells because they often need to keep extra information (typically contained in the cell data of a point set). This information might be things like knot points/weights, boundaries, etc.

virtual void vtkExplicitCell::SetDataSet ( vtkDataSet *  )

virtual

Set/Get the mesh that owns this cell. This is necessary for explicit cells because they often need to keep extra information (typically contained in the cell data of a point set). This information might be things like knot points/weights, boundaries, etc.

virtual vtkDataSet* vtkExplicitCell::GetDataSet ( )

virtual

Set/Get the mesh that owns this cell. This is necessary for explicit cells because they often need to keep extra information (typically contained in the cell data of a point set). This information might be things like knot points/weights, boundaries, etc.
