vtkProbeFilter - sample data values at specified point locations

Super Class: vtkDataSetToDataSetFilter

Description:

vtkProbeFilter is a filter that computes point attributes (e.g., scalars, vectors, etc.) at specified point positions. The filter has two inputs: the Input and Source. The Input geometric structure is passed through the filter. The point attributes are computed at the Input point positions by interpolating into the source data. For example, we can compute data values on a plane (plane specified as Input) from a volume (Source).

 

Methods:

void vtkProbeFilter ()
void vtkProbeFilter ()
static vtkProbeFilter *New ()
const char *GetClassName ()
void PrintSelf (unknown & ,vtkIndent )
void Update ()
void SetSource (vtkDataSet *)
vtkDataSet *GetSource ()
void SetSource (vtkImageCache *)
void Execute ()

 

Detailed Method Descriptions:

Overload update method because execution can branch two ways (Input and Source). Also input and output are abstract.

void Update ()

Specify the point locations used to probe input. Any geometry can be used.

void SetSource (vtkDataSet *)
vtkDataSet *GetSource ()
