Detailed Description

write stereo lithography files

vtkSTLWriter writes stereo lithography (.stl) files in either ASCII or binary form. Stereo lithography files only contain triangles. If polygons with more than 3 vertices are present, only the first 3 vertices are written. Use vtkTriangleFilter to convert polygons to triangles.

Warning:: Binary files written on one system may not be readable on other systems. vtkSTLWriter uses VAX or PC byte ordering and swaps bytes on other systems.

Member Function Documentation

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

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

Reimplemented from vtkAlgorithm.

static int vtkSTLWriter::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 vtkWriter.

virtual int vtkSTLWriter::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 vtkWriter.

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

Reimplemented from vtkWriter.

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

Reimplemented from vtkWriter.

vtkSTLWriter* vtkSTLWriter::NewInstance ( ) const

Reimplemented from vtkWriter.

virtual void vtkSTLWriter::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 vtkWriter.

vtkPolyData* vtkSTLWriter::GetInput ( )

Get the input to this writer.

Reimplemented from vtkWriter.

vtkPolyData* vtkSTLWriter::GetInput ( int port )

Get the input to this writer.

Reimplemented from vtkWriter.

virtual void vtkSTLWriter::SetFileName ( const char * ) [virtual]

Specify file name of vtk polygon data file to write.

virtual char* vtkSTLWriter::GetFileName ( ) [virtual]

Specify file name of vtk polygon data file to write.

virtual void vtkSTLWriter::SetFileType ( int ) [virtual]

Specify file type (ASCII or BINARY) for vtk data file.

virtual int vtkSTLWriter::GetFileType ( ) [virtual]

Specify file type (ASCII or BINARY) for vtk data file.

void vtkSTLWriter::SetFileTypeToASCII ( ) [inline]

Specify file type (ASCII or BINARY) for vtk data file.

Definition at line 64 of file vtkSTLWriter.h.

void vtkSTLWriter::SetFileTypeToBinary ( ) [inline]

Specify file type (ASCII or BINARY) for vtk data file.

Definition at line 65 of file vtkSTLWriter.h.

void vtkSTLWriter::WriteData ( ) [protected, virtual]

Implements vtkWriter.

void vtkSTLWriter::WriteBinarySTL	(	vtkPoints *	pts,
		vtkCellArray *	polys
	)		`[protected]`

void vtkSTLWriter::WriteAsciiSTL	(	vtkPoints *	pts,
		vtkCellArray *	polys
	)		`[protected]`

virtual int vtkSTLWriter::FillInputPortInformation	(	int	port,
		vtkInformation *	info
	)		`[protected, virtual]`

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

Reimplemented from vtkAlgorithm.
