Detailed Description

abstract class specifies interface to map data to graphics primitives

vtkMapper is an abstract class to specify interface between data and graphics primitives. Subclasses of vtkMapper map data through a lookuptable and control the creation of rendering primitives that interface to the graphics library. The mapping can be controlled by supplying a lookup table and specifying a scalar range to map data through.

There are several important control mechanisms affecting the behavior of this object. The ScalarVisibility flag controls whether scalar data (if any) controls the color of the associated actor(s) that refer to the mapper. The ScalarMode ivar is used to determine whether scalar point data or cell data is used to color the object. By default, point data scalars are used unless there are none, in which cell scalars are used. Or you can explicitly control whether to use point or cell scalar data. Finally, the mapping of scalars through the lookup table varies depending on the setting of the ColorMode flag. See the documentation for the appropriate methods for an explanation.

Another important feature of this class is whether to use immediate mode rendering (ImmediateModeRenderingOn) or display list rendering (ImmediateModeRenderingOff). If display lists are used, a data structure is constructed (generally in the rendering library) which can then be rapidly traversed and rendered by the rendering library. The disadvantage of display lists is that they require additionally memory which may affect the performance of the system.

Another important feature of the mapper is the ability to shift the z-buffer to resolve coincident topology. For example, if you'd like to draw a mesh with some edges a different color, and the edges lie on the mesh, this feature can be useful to get nice looking lines. (See the ResolveCoincidentTopology-related methods.)

virtual int vtkMapper::GetForceCompileOnly ( )

virtual

Force compile only mode in case display lists are used (ImmediateModeRendering is false). If ImmediateModeRendering is true, no rendering happens. Changing the value of this flag does not change modified time of the mapper. Initial value is false. This can be used by another rendering class which also uses display lists (call of display lists can be nested but not their creation.) There is no good reason to expose it to wrappers.

virtual void vtkMapper::SetScalarMode ( int )

virtual

Control how the filter works with scalar point data and cell attribute data. By default (ScalarModeToDefault), the filter will use point data, and if no point data is available, then cell data is used. Alternatively you can explicitly set the filter to use point data (ScalarModeToUsePointData) or cell data (ScalarModeToUseCellData). You can also choose to get the scalars from an array in point field data (ScalarModeToUsePointFieldData) or cell field data (ScalarModeToUseCellFieldData). If scalars are coming from a field data array, you must call SelectColorArray before you call GetColors.

static void vtkMapper::SetResolveCoincidentTopology ( int val )

static

Set/Get a global flag that controls whether coincident topology (e.g., a line on top of a polygon) is shifted to avoid z-buffer resolution (and hence rendering problems). If not off, there are two methods to choose from. PolygonOffset uses graphics systems calls to shift polygons, but does not distinguish vertices and lines from one another. ShiftZBuffer remaps the z-buffer to distinguish vertices, lines, and polygons, but does not always produce acceptable results. If you use the ShiftZBuffer approach, you may also want to set the ResolveCoincidentTopologyZShift value. (Note: not all mappers/graphics systems implement this functionality.)
