Detailed Description

template<typename ValueType>
class vtkCompositeImplicitBackend< ValueType >

A utility structure serving as a backend for composite arrays: an array composed of multiple arrays concatenated together.

This structure can be classified as a closure and can be called using syntax similar to a function call.

This class uses indirect addressing of cached arrays to provide an access compute complexity of O(log_2(number_of_arrays)) through its () operator.

At construction it takes an array arrays in order to represent their concatenation.

An example of potential usage in a vtkImplicitArray

vtkNew<vtkIntArray> leftArr;
leftArr->SetNumberOfComponents(1);
leftArr->SetNumberOfTuples(1);
leftArr->SetValue(0, 0);
vtkNew<vtkIntArray> rightArr;
rightArr->SetNumberOfComponents(1);
rightArr->SetNumberOfTuples(1);
rightArr->SetValue(0, 1);
vtkNew<vtkImplicitArray<vtkCompositeImplicitBackend<int>>> compositeArr; // easier with
`vtkNew<vtkCompositeArray<int>> compositeArr;` if applicable
std::vector<vtkDataArray*> arrays({leftArr, rightArr});
compositeArr->SetBackend(std::make_shared<vtkCompositeImplicitBackend<int>>(arrays));
CHECK(compositArr->GetValue(1) == 1);

‍WARNING: Arrays input to the backend are flattened upon use and are no longer sensitive to component information.

Member Function Documentation

operator()()

template<typename ValueType >

ValueType vtkCompositeImplicitBackend< ValueType >::operator()

(

int

idx

)

const

Indexing operator for the composite of the two arrays respecting the vtkImplicitArray expectations.

Conceptually, the composite array uses a binary search algorithm through the use of std::upper_bounds to offer a compute complexity of O(log_2(n_arrays))

getMemorySize()

template<typename ValueType >

unsigned long vtkCompositeImplicitBackend< ValueType >::getMemorySize

(

)

const

Returns the smallest integer memory size in KiB needed to store the array.

The memory size of the composite array is calculated as the sum of the sizes of its components. Used to implement GetActualMemorySize on vtkCompositeArray.
