vtkElevationFilter - generate scalars along a specified direction

Description:

vtkElevationFilter is a filter to generate scalar values from a dataset. The scalar values lie within a user specified range, and are generated by computing a projection of each dataset point onto a line. The line can be oriented arbitrarily. A typical example is to generate scalars based on elevation or height above a plane.

Methods:

	void vtkElevationFilter ()
	const char *GetClassName ()
	void PrintSelf (unknown & ,vtkIndent )
	static vtkElevationFilter *New ()
	void SetLowPoint (float ,float ,float )
	void SetLowPoint (float *)
	float *GetLowPoint ()
	void SetHighPoint (float ,float ,float )
	void SetHighPoint (float *)
	float *GetHighPoint ()
	void SetScalarRange (float ,float )
	void SetScalarRange (float *)
	float *GetScalarRange ()
	void Execute ()

Detailed Method Descriptions:

Construct object with LowPoint=(0,0,0) and HighPoint=(0,0,1). Scalar range is (0,1).

static vtkElevationFilter *New ()

Define one end of the line (small scalar values).

	void SetLowPoint (float ,float ,float )
	void SetLowPoint (float *)
	float *GetLowPoint ()

Define other end of the line (large scalar values).

	void SetHighPoint (float ,float ,float )
	void SetHighPoint (float *)
	float *GetHighPoint ()

Specify range to map scalars into.

	void SetScalarRange (float ,float )
	void SetScalarRange (float *)
	float *GetScalarRange ()
