Detailed Description

layout a vtkTree into packed circles using the front chain algorithm.

vtkCirclePackFrontChainLayoutStrategy assigns circles to each node of the input vtkTree using the front chain algorithm. The algorithm packs circles by searching a "front chain" of circles around the perimeter of the circles that have already been packed for the current level in the tree hierarchy. Searching the front chain is in general faster than searching all of the circles that have been packed at the current level.

WARNING: The algorithm tends to break down and produce packings with overlapping circles when there is a large difference in the radii of the circles at a given level of the tree hierarchy. Roughly on the order a 1000:1 ratio of circle radii.

Please see the following reference for more details on the algorithm.

Member Function Documentation

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

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

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

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

Reimplemented from vtkCirclePackLayoutStrategy.

static int vtkCirclePackFrontChainLayoutStrategy::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 vtkCirclePackLayoutStrategy.

virtual int vtkCirclePackFrontChainLayoutStrategy::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 vtkCirclePackLayoutStrategy.

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

Reimplemented from vtkCirclePackLayoutStrategy.

void vtkCirclePackFrontChainLayoutStrategy::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 vtkCirclePackLayoutStrategy.

virtual void vtkCirclePackFrontChainLayoutStrategy::Layout ( vtkTree inputTree,
vtkDataArray areaArray,
vtkDataArray sizeArray 
) [virtual]

Perform the layout of the input tree, and store the circle bounds of each vertex as a tuple in a data array. (Xcenter, Ycenter, Radius).

Implements vtkCirclePackLayoutStrategy.

virtual int vtkCirclePackFrontChainLayoutStrategy::GetWidth ( ) [virtual]

Width and Height define the size of the output window that the circle packing is placed inside. Defaults to Width 1, Height 1

virtual void vtkCirclePackFrontChainLayoutStrategy::SetWidth ( int  ) [virtual]

Width and Height define the size of the output window that the circle packing is placed inside. Defaults to Width 1, Height 1

virtual int vtkCirclePackFrontChainLayoutStrategy::GetHeight ( ) [virtual]

Width and Height define the size of the output window that the circle packing is placed inside. Defaults to Width 1, Height 1

virtual void vtkCirclePackFrontChainLayoutStrategy::SetHeight ( int  ) [virtual]

Width and Height define the size of the output window that the circle packing is placed inside. Defaults to Width 1, Height 1
