Detailed Description

Superclass for algorithms that produce only data object as output.

vtkDataObjectAlgorithm is a convenience class to make writing algorithms easier. It is also designed to help transition old algorithms to the new pipeline architecture. Ther are some assumptions and defaults made by this class you should be aware of. This class defaults such that your filter will have one input port and one output port. If that is not the case simply change it with SetNumberOfInputPorts etc. See this classes constructor for the default. This class also provides a FillInputPortInfo method that by default says that all inputs will be DataObject. If that isn't the case then please override this method in your subclass. This class breaks out the downstream requests into seperate functions such as ExecuteData and ExecuteInformation. For new algorithms you should implement RequestData( request, inputVec, outputVec) but for older filters there is a default implementation that calls the old ExecuteData(output) signature, for even older filters that don;t implement ExecuteData the default implementation calls the even older Execute() signature.

void vtkDataObjectAlgorithm::SetInput ( vtkDataObject  ) 

Set an input of this algorithm. You should not override these methods because they are not the only way to connect a pipeline. Note that these methods support old-style pipeline connections. When writing new code you should use the more general vtkAlgorithm::SetInputConnection(). These methods transform the input index to the input port index, not an index of a connection within a single port.

void vtkDataObjectAlgorithm::SetInput ( int  ,
vtkDataObject  
)

Set an input of this algorithm. You should not override these methods because they are not the only way to connect a pipeline. Note that these methods support old-style pipeline connections. When writing new code you should use the more general vtkAlgorithm::SetInputConnection(). These methods transform the input index to the input port index, not an index of a connection within a single port.

void vtkDataObjectAlgorithm::AddInput ( vtkDataObject  ) 

Add an input of this algorithm. Note that these methods support old-style pipeline connections. When writing new code you should use the more general vtkAlgorithm::AddInputConnection(). See SetInput() for details.

void vtkDataObjectAlgorithm::AddInput ( int  ,
vtkDataObject  
)

Add an input of this algorithm. Note that these methods support old-style pipeline connections. When writing new code you should use the more general vtkAlgorithm::AddInputConnection(). See SetInput() for details.

int vtkDataObjectAlgorithm::UpdateExtentIsEmpty ( vtkDataObject output  )  [protected]

This detects when the UpdateExtent will generate no data. This condition is satisfied when the UpdateExtent has zero volume (0,-1,...) or the UpdateNumberOfPieces is 0. The source uses this call to determine whether to call Execute.

Reimplemented from vtkAlgorithm.

virtual void vtkDataObjectAlgorithm::ExecuteData ( vtkDataObject output  )  [protected, virtual]

This method is the old style execute method

virtual void vtkDataObjectAlgorithm::Execute (  )  [protected, virtual]

This method is the old style execute method

virtual int vtkDataObjectAlgorithm::FillOutputPortInformation ( int  port,
vtkInformation info 
) [protected, virtual]

Fill the output port information objects for this algorithm. This is invoked by the first call to GetOutputPortInformation for each port so subclasses can specify what they can handle.

Reimplemented from vtkAlgorithm.

Reimplemented in vtkAreaContourSpectrumFilter, vtkReebGraphSurfaceSkeletonFilter, vtkReebGraphVolumeSkeletonFilter, vtkVolumeContourSpectrumFilter, and vtkStringToCategory.
