vtkMergeFilter - extract separate components of data from different datasets

Description:

vtkMergeFilter is a filter that extracts separate components of data from different datasets and merges them into a single dataset. The output from this filter is of the same type as the input (i.e., vtkDataSet.) It treats both cell and point data set attributes.

Methods:

	void SetTensors (vtkDataSet *)
	vtkDataSet *GetTensors ()
	void SetFieldData (vtkDataSet *)

Detailed Method Descriptions:

Update the data, re-executing if required.

void Update ()

Specify object from which to extract geometry information.

	void SetGeometry (vtkDataSet *)
	vtkDataSet *GetGeometry ()

Get the output of this source. Different methods are available for a specific concrete type. In other words, you can get the output as the same type as the input (run-time error chacking is performed to enforce this).

	vtkDataSet *GetOutput ()
	vtkPolyData *GetPolyDataOutput ()
	vtkStructuredPoints *GetStructuredPointsOutput ()
	vtkStructuredGrid *GetStructuredGridOutput ()
	vtkUnstructuredGrid *GetUnstructuredGridOutput ()
	vtkRectilinearGrid *GetRectilinearGridOutput ()

Specify object from which to extract scalar information.

	void SetScalars (vtkDataSet *)
	vtkDataSet *GetScalars ()

Set / get the object from which to extract vector information.

	void SetScalars (vtkImageCache *)
	void SetVectors (vtkDataSet *)
	vtkDataSet *GetVectors ()

Set / get the object from which to extract normal information.

	void SetNormals (vtkDataSet *)
	vtkDataSet *GetNormals ()

Set / get the object from which to extract texture coordinates information.

	void SetTCoords (vtkDataSet *)
	vtkDataSet *GetTCoords ()

Set / get the object from which to extract tensor data.

	void SetTensors (vtkDataSet *)
	vtkDataSet *GetTensors ()

Set / get the object from which to extract field data.

	void SetFieldData (vtkDataSet *)
	vtkDataSet *GetFieldData ()
