vtkImplicitPlaneRepresentation

Section: Visualization Toolkit Widget Classes

# Usage

This class is a concrete representation for the vtkImplicitPlaneWidget2. It represents an infinite plane defined by a normal and point in the context of a bounding box. Through interaction with the widget, the plane can be manipulated by adjusting the plane normal or moving the origin point.

To use this representation, you normally define a (plane) origin and (plane) normal. The PlaceWidget() method is also used to intially position the representation.

To create an instance of class vtkImplicitPlaneRepresentation, simply invoke its constructor as follows

      obj = vtkImplicitPlaneRepresentation

# Methods

The class vtkImplicitPlaneRepresentation has several methods that can be used. They are listed below. Note that the documentation is translated automatically from the VTK sources, and may not be completely intelligible. When in doubt, consult the VTK website.

This controls how the interaction with the widget proceeds. Normally this method is used as part of a handshaking process with the widget: First ComputeInteractionState() is invoked that returns a state based on geometric considerations (i.e., cursor near a widget feature), then based on events, the widget may modify this further.

- `obj.SetRepresentationState (int )` - Sets the visual appearance of the representation based on the state it is in. This state is usually the same as InteractionState.
