vtkSynchronizedTemplates3D

Section: Visualization Toolkit Graphics Classes

# Usage

vtkSynchronizedTemplates3D is a 3D implementation of the synchronized template algorithm. Note that vtkContourFilter will automatically use this class when appropriate.

To create an instance of class vtkSynchronizedTemplates3D, simply invoke its constructor as follows

      obj = vtkSynchronizedTemplates3D

# Methods

The class vtkSynchronizedTemplates3D 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. In the methods listed below, `obj` is an instance of the vtkSynchronizedTemplates3D class.

- `string = obj.GetClassName ()`
- `int = obj.IsA (string name)`
- `vtkSynchronizedTemplates3D = obj.NewInstance ()`
- `vtkSynchronizedTemplates3D = obj.SafeDownCast (vtkObject o)`
- `long = obj.GetMTime ()` - Because we delegate to vtkContourValues
- `obj.SetComputeNormals (int )` - Set/Get the computation of normals. Normal computation is fairly expensive in both time and storage. If the output data will be processed by filters that modify topology or geometry, it may be wise to turn Normals and Gradients off.
- `int = obj.GetComputeNormals ()` - Set/Get the computation of normals. Normal computation is fairly expensive in both time and storage. If the output data will be processed by filters that modify topology or geometry, it may be wise to turn Normals and Gradients off.
- `obj.ComputeNormalsOn ()` - Set/Get the computation of normals. Normal computation is fairly expensive in both time and storage. If the output data will be processed by filters that modify topology or geometry, it may be wise to turn Normals and Gradients off.
- `obj.ComputeNormalsOff ()` - Set/Get the computation of normals. Normal computation is fairly expensive in both time and storage. If the output data will be processed by filters that modify topology or geometry, it may be wise to turn Normals and Gradients off.
- `obj.SetComputeGradients (int )` - Set/Get the computation of gradients. Gradient computation is fairly expensive in both time and storage. Note that if ComputeNormals is on, gradients will have to be calculated, but will not be stored in the output dataset. If the output data will be processed by filters that modify topology or geometry, it may be wise to turn Normals and Gradients off.
- `int = obj.GetComputeGradients ()` - Set/Get the computation of gradients. Gradient computation is fairly expensive in both time and storage. Note that if ComputeNormals is on, gradients will have to be calculated, but will not be stored in the output dataset. If the output data will be processed by filters that modify topology or geometry, it may be wise to turn Normals and Gradients off.
- `obj.ComputeGradientsOn ()` - Set/Get the computation of gradients. Gradient computation is fairly expensive in both time and storage. Note that if ComputeNormals is on, gradients will have to be calculated, but will not be stored in the output dataset. If the output data will be processed by filters that modify topology or geometry, it may be wise to turn Normals and Gradients off.
- `obj.ComputeGradientsOff ()` - Set/Get the computation of gradients. Gradient computation is fairly expensive in both time and storage. Note that if ComputeNormals is on, gradients will have to be calculated, but will not be stored in the output dataset. If the output data will be processed by filters that modify topology or geometry, it may be wise to turn Normals and Gradients off.
- `obj.SetComputeScalars (int )` - Set/Get the computation of scalars.
- `int = obj.GetComputeScalars ()` - Set/Get the computation of scalars.
- `obj.ComputeScalarsOn ()` - Set/Get the computation of scalars.
- `obj.ComputeScalarsOff ()` - Set/Get the computation of scalars.
- `obj.SetValue (int i, double value)` - Get the ith contour value.
- `double = obj.GetValue (int i)` - Get a pointer to an array of contour values. There will be GetNumberOfContours() values in the list.
- `obj.GetValues (double contourValues)` - Set the number of contours to place into the list. You only really need to use this method to reduce list size. The method SetValue() will automatically increase list size as needed.
- `obj.SetNumberOfContours (int number)` - Get the number of contours in the list of contour values.
- `int = obj.GetNumberOfContours ()` - Generate numContours equally spaced contour values between specified range. Contour values will include min/max range values.
- `obj.GenerateValues (int numContours, double range[2])` - Generate numContours equally spaced contour values between specified range. Contour values will include min/max range values.
- `obj.GenerateValues (int numContours, double rangeStart, double rangeEnd)` - Needed by templated functions.
- `int = obj.GetExecuteExtent ()` - Needed by templated functions.
- `obj.ThreadedExecute (vtkImageData data, vtkInformation inInfo, vtkInformation outInfo, int exExt, vtkDataArray inScalars)` - Needed by templated functions.
- `obj.SetInputMemoryLimit (long limit)` - Determines the chunk size fro streaming. This filter will act like a collector: ask for many input pieces, but generate one output. Limit is in KBytes
- `long = obj.GetInputMemoryLimit ()` - Determines the chunk size fro streaming. This filter will act like a collector: ask for many input pieces, but generate one output. Limit is in KBytes
- `obj.SetArrayComponent (int )` - Set/get which component of the scalar array to contour on; defaults to 0.
- `int = obj.GetArrayComponent ()` - Set/get which component of the scalar array to contour on; defaults to 0.
