vtkTransformFilter - transform points and associated normals and vectors

Super Class: vtkPointSetToPointSetFilter

Description:

vtkTransformFilter is a filter to transform point coordinates, and associated point normals and vectors. Other point data is passed through the filter. An alternative method of transformation is to use vtkActor's methods to scale, rotate, and translate objects. The difference between the two methods is that vtkActor's transformation simply effects where objects are rendered (via the graphics pipeline), whereas vtkTransformFilter actually modifies point coordinates in the visualization pipeline. This is necessary for some objects (e.g., vtkProbeFilter) that require point coordinates as input.
