The * dataset consists of geometry (e.g., points), topology (e.g., cells), and * attributes (e.g., scalars, vectors, etc.) vtkGenericDataSet is an abstract * class defining this abstraction. * * Since vtkGenericDataSet provides a general interface to manipulate data, * algorithms that process it tend to be slower than those specialized for a * particular data type. For this reason, there are concrete, non-abstract * subclasses that represent and provide access to data more efficiently. * Note that filters to process this dataset type are currently found in the * VTK/GenericFiltering/ subdirectory. * * Unlike the vtkDataSet class, vtkGenericDataSet provides a more flexible * interface including support for iterators. vtkGenericDataSet is also * designed to interface VTK to external simulation packages without the * penalty of copying memory (see VTK/GenericFiltering/README.html) for * more information. Thus vtkGenericDataSet plays a central role in the * adaptor framework. * * Please note that this class introduces the concepts of "boundary cells". * This refers to the boundaries of a cell (e.g., face of a tetrahedron) * which may in turn be represented as a cell. Boundary cells are derivative * topological features of cells, and are therefore never explicitly * represented in the dataset. Often in visualization algorithms, looping * over boundaries (edges or faces) is employed, while the actual dataset * cells may not traversed. Thus there are methods to loop over these * boundary cells. * * Finally, as a point of clarification, points are not the same as vertices. * Vertices refer to points, and points specify a position is space. Vertices * are a type of 0-D cell. Also, the concept of a DOFNode, which is where * coefficients for higher-order cells are kept, is a new concept introduced * by the adaptor framework (see vtkGenericAdaptorCell for more information). * * @sa * vtkGenericAdaptorCell vtkDataSet */ #ifndef vtkGenericDataSet_h #define vtkGenericDataSet_h #include "vtkCommonDataModelModule.h" // For export macro #include "vtkDataObject.h" class vtkCellTypes; class vtkGenericCellIterator; class vtkGenericAttributeCollection; class vtkGenericCellTessellator; class vtkGenericPointIterator; class VTKCOMMONDATAMODEL_EXPORT vtkGenericDataSet : public vtkDataObject { public: //@{ /** * Standard VTK type and print macros. */ vtkTypeMacro(vtkGenericDataSet, vtkDataObject); void PrintSelf(ostream& os, vtkIndent indent) override; //@} /** * Return the number of points composing the dataset.
