Detailed Description

Parse and evaluate a mathematical expression.

vtkFunctionParser is a class that takes in a mathematical expression as a char string, parses it, and evaluates it at the specified values of the variables in the input string.

You can use the "if" operator to create conditional expressions such as if ( test, trueresult, falseresult). These evaluate the boolean valued test expression and then evaluate either the trueresult or the falseresult expression to produce a final (scalar or vector valued) value. "test" may contain <,>,=,|,&, and () and all three subexpressions can evaluate arbitrary function operators (ln, cos, +, if, etc)

Thanks:: Thomas Dunne (thomas.dunne@iwr.uni-heidelberg.de) for adding code for two-parameter-parsing and a few functions (sign, min, max).

Thanks:: Sid Sydoriak (sxs@lanl.gov) for adding boolean operations and conditional expressions and for fixing a variety of bugs.

Member Function Documentation

static vtkFunctionParser* vtkFunctionParser::New ( ) [static]

Create an object with Debug turned off, modified time initialized to zero, and reference counting on.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

virtual const char* vtkFunctionParser::GetClassName ( ) [virtual]

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

static int vtkFunctionParser::IsTypeOf ( const char * name ) [static]

Return 1 if this class type is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeRevisionMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

virtual int vtkFunctionParser::IsA ( const char * name ) [virtual]

Return 1 if this class is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeRevisionMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

static vtkFunctionParser* vtkFunctionParser::SafeDownCast ( vtkObject * o ) [static]

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

void vtkFunctionParser::PrintSelf	(	ostream &	os,
		vtkIndent	indent
	)			`[virtual]`

Methods invoked by print to print information about the object including superclasses. Typically not called by the user (use Print() instead) but used in the hierarchical print process to combine the output of several classes.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

void vtkFunctionParser::SetFunction ( const char * function )

Set/Get input string to evaluate.

virtual char* vtkFunctionParser::GetFunction ( ) [virtual]

Set/Get input string to evaluate.

int vtkFunctionParser::IsScalarResult ( )

Check whether the result is a scalar result. If it isn't, then either the result is a vector or an error has occurred.

int vtkFunctionParser::IsVectorResult ( )

Check whether the result is a vector result. If it isn't, then either the result is scalar or an error has occurred.

double vtkFunctionParser::GetScalarResult ( )

Get a scalar result from evaluating the input function.

double* vtkFunctionParser::GetVectorResult ( )

Get a vector result from evaluating the input function.

void vtkFunctionParser::GetVectorResult ( double result[3] ) [inline]

Get a vector result from evaluating the input function.
