PointSet ​

Introduction ​

vtkPointSet is an abstract class that specifies the interface for datasets that explicitly use "point" arrays to represent geometry.

For example, vtkPolyData and vtkUnstructuredGrid require point arrays to specify point position, while vtkStructuredPoints generates point positions implicitly.

Methods ​

computeBounds ​

Compute the (X, Y, Z) bounds of the data.

extend ​

Method used to decorate a given object (publicAPI+model) with vtkPointSet characteristics.

ArgumentTypeRequiredDescription
publicAPIYesobject on which methods will be bounds (public)
modelYesobject on which data structure will be bounds (protected)
initialValuesIPointSetInitialValuesNo(default: {})

getBounds ​

Get the bounds for this mapper as [xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax,zmin, zmax].

getNumberOfPoints ​

getPoints ​

initialize ​

Empty the points and initialize the data set and .

newInstance ​

Method used to create a new instance of vtkPointSet.
