The * mesh within the loop consists of complete cells (the cells are not * cut). Alternatively, this filter can be used to generate scalars. * These scalar values, which are a distance measure to the loop, can * be used to clip, contour. or extract data (i.e., anything that an * implicit function can do). * * The loop is defined by an array of x-y-z point coordinates. * (Coordinates should be in the same coordinate space as the input * polygonal data.) The loop can be concave and non-planar, but not * self-intersecting. The input to the filter is a polygonal mesh * (only surface primitives such as triangle strips and polygons); the * output is either a) a portion of the original mesh laying within * the selection loop (GenerateSelectionScalarsOff); or b) the same * polygonal mesh with the addition of scalar values * (GenerateSelectionScalarsOn). * * The algorithm works as follows. For each point coordinate in the * loop, the closest point in the mesh is found. The result is a loop * of closest point ids from the mesh. Then, the edges in the mesh * connecting the closest points (and laying along the lines forming * the loop) are found. A greedy edge tracking procedure is used as * follows. At the current point, the mesh edge oriented in the * direction of and whose end point is closest to the line is * chosen. The edge is followed to the new end point, and the * procedure is repeated. This process continues until the entire loop * has been created. * * To determine what portion of the mesh is inside and outside of the * loop, three options are possible. 1) the smallest connected region, * 2) the largest connected region, and 3) the connected region * closest to a user specified point. (Set the ivar SelectionMode.) * * Once the loop is computed as above, the GenerateSelectionScalars * controls the output of the filter. If on, then scalar values are * generated based on distance to the loop lines. Otherwise, the cells * laying inside the selection loop are output. By default, the mesh * laying within the loop is output; however, if InsideOut is on, then * the portion of the mesh laying outside of the loop is output. * * The filter can be configured to generate the unselected portions of * the mesh as output by setting GenerateUnselectedOutput. Use the * method GetUnselectedOutput to access this output. (Note: this flag * is pertinent only when GenerateSelectionScalars is off.) * * @warning * Make sure that the points you pick are on a connected surface. If * not, then the filter will generate an empty or partial result. Also, * self-intersecting loops will generate unpredictable results. * * @warning * During processing of the data, non-triangular cells are converted to * triangles if GenerateSelectionScalars is off. * * @sa * vtkImplicitSelectionLoop */ #ifndef vtkSelectPolyData_h #define vtkSelectPolyData_h #include "vtkFiltersModelingModule.h" // For export macro #include "vtkPolyDataAlgorithm.h" #define VTK_INSIDE_SMALLEST_REGION 0 #define VTK_INSIDE_LARGEST_REGION 1 #define VTK_INSIDE_CLOSEST_POINT_REGION 2 class vtkCharArray; class vtkPoints; class vtkIdList; class VTKFILTERSMODELING_EXPORT vtkSelectPolyData : public vtkPolyDataAlgorithm { public: /** * Instantiate object with InsideOut turned off, and * GenerateSelectionScalars turned off.
