OBJReader

Introduction

The vtkOBJReader aims to read a text file formatted as below and create
a bumpy plane based on the elevation defined in that file. If a line has 10
elevation values, that means the plane will have 10 points along the X axis.
If the file has 5 lines, that means the plane will have 5 points along the Y
axis.

1 2 3 4 5
5 4 3 2 1
1 2 3 4 5
5 4 3 2 1
1 2 3 4 5

Each number represents an elevation on a uniform grid where a line
(horizontal) define the elevations along the X axis. With that in mind, new
lines (vertical) define the elevations along the Y axis and the actual number
is the elevation along Z.

In order to properly represent that in world coordinates, you can provide an
origin which will define the coordinate of the first point without its
elevation. Then you need to describe how much you should move along X and Y
between two elevations definition. For that we use xSpacing and ySpacing.
Since the elevation is given to us as a number, we can scale it via
zScaling. Finally you may decide that your grid should move along positive
X and negative Y while reading the file. The xDirection and yDirection
are meant to give you control on that end.

Methods

extend

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

Argument Type Required Description
publicAPI Yes object on which methods will be bounds (public)
model Yes object on which data structure will be bounds (protected)
initialValues IOBJReaderInitialValues No (default: {})

getBaseURL

getDataAccessHelper

getPointDuplicateIds

Convenient method to get the id of all duplicated points.
Relies on a “Duplicates” array that contains the id of:
- the first duplicate id for the original point (or self Id if there is no duplicate)

  • the original id for the duplicate points
    Duplicated points must be adjacent to each other.
    Example:
    • Points: [pt0, pt1, pt2, pt3, pt1d0, pt1d1, pt1d3, pt3d1, pt3d2]
  • Duplicates: [0, 4, 2, 3, 1, 1, 1, 3, 3]
    Expected results:
  • getPointDuplicateIds(p, 1) => [1, 4, 5, 6]
  • getPointDuplicateIds(p, 0) => [0]
  • getPointDuplicateIds(p, 5) => [1, 4, 5, 6]
