Member Function Documentation

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

Construct plane passing through origin and normal to z-axis.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

static int vtkPlane::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 vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkImplicitFunction.

virtual int vtkPlane::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 vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkImplicitFunction.

static vtkPlane* vtkPlane::SafeDownCast ( vtkObjectBase o) [static]

Reimplemented from vtkImplicitFunction.

virtual vtkObjectBase* vtkPlane::NewInstanceInternal ( ) const [protected, virtual]

Reimplemented from vtkImplicitFunction.

Reimplemented from vtkImplicitFunction.

void vtkPlane::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 vtkImplicitFunction.

Evaluate plane equation for point x[3].

Implements vtkImplicitFunction.

double vtkPlane::EvaluateFunction ( double  x,
