Detailed Description

abstract interface for parametric functions

vtkParametricFunction is an abstract interface for functions defined by parametric mapping i.e. f(u,v,w)->(x,y,z) where u_min <= u < u_max, v_min <= v < v_max, w_min <= w < w_max. (For notational convenience, we will write f(u)->x and assume that u means (u,v,w) and x means (x,y,z).)

The interface contains the pure virtual function, Evaluate(), that generates a point and the derivatives at that point which are then used to construct the surface. A second pure virtual function, EvaluateScalar(), can be used to generate a scalar for the surface. Finally, the GetDimension() virtual function is used to differentiate 1D, 2D, and 3D parametric functions. Since this abstract class defines a pure virtual API, its subclasses must implement the pure virtual functions GetDimension(), Evaluate() and EvaluateScalar().

This class has also methods for defining a range of parametric values (u,v,w).

Thanks:: Andrew Maclean a.maclean@cas.edu.au for creating and contributing the class.

virtual int vtkParametricFunction::GetDimension ( ) [pure virtual]

Return the dimension of parametric space. Depending on the dimension, then the (u,v,w) parameters and associated information (e.g., derivates) have meaning.

This is a pure virtual function that must be instantiated in a derived class. uvw are the parameters, with u corresponding to uvw[0], v to uvw[1] and w to uvw[2] respectively.
