Detailed Description

generate a subdivision surface using the Loop Scheme

vtkLoopSubdivisionFilter is an approximating subdivision scheme that creates four new triangles for each triangle in the mesh. The user can specify the NumberOfSubdivisions. Loop's subdivision scheme is described in: Loop, C., "Smooth Subdivision surfaces based on triangles,", Masters Thesis, University of Utah, August 1987. For a nice summary of the technique see, Hoppe, H., et. al, "Piecewise Smooth Surface Reconstruction,:, Proceedings of Siggraph 94 (Orlando, Florida, July 24-29, 1994). In COmputer Graphics Proceedings, Annual COnference Series, 1994, ACM SIGGRAPH, pp. 295-302.

The filter only operates on triangles. Users should use the vtkTriangleFilter to triangulate meshes that contain polygons or triangle strips.

The filter approximates point data using the same scheme. New triangles create at a subdivision step will have the cell data of their parent cell.

Member Function Documentation

vtkLoopSubdivisionFilter* vtkLoopSubdivisionFilter::New ( ) [static]

Construct object with NumberOfSubdivisions set to 1.
Reimplemented from vtkObject.

virtual const char* vtkLoopSubdivisionFilter::GetClassName ( ) [virtual]

Reimplemented from vtkApproximatingSubdivisionFilter.

int vtkLoopSubdivisionFilter::IsTypeOf ( const char * type ) [static]

Return 1 if this class type is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeRevisionMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.
Reimplemented from vtkApproximatingSubdivisionFilter.

virtual int vtkLoopSubdivisionFilter::IsA ( const char * type ) [virtual]

Return 1 if this class is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeRevisionMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.
Reimplemented from vtkApproximatingSubdivisionFilter.

vtkLoopSubdivisionFilter* vtkLoopSubdivisionFilter::SafeDownCast ( vtkObject * o ) [static]

Reimplemented from vtkApproximatingSubdivisionFilter.

void vtkLoopSubdivisionFilter::GenerateSubdivisionPoints ( vtkPolyData * inputDS,

vtkIntArray * edgeData,

vtkPoints * outputPts,

vtkPointData * outputPD

) [protected, virtual]

Implements vtkApproximatingSubdivisionFilter.

void vtkLoopSubdivisionFilter::GenerateEvenStencil ( vtkIdType p1,

vtkPolyData * polys,

vtkIdList * stencilIds,

double * weights

) [protected]

void vtkLoopSubdivisionFilter::GenerateOddStencil ( vtkIdType p1,

vtkIdType p2,

vtkPolyData * polys,

vtkIdList * stencilIds,

double * weights

) [protected]

void vtkLoopSubdivisionFilter::ComputeInputUpdateExtents ( vtkDataObject * output ) [protected, virtual]

What is the input update extent that is required to produce the desired output? By default, the whole input is always required but this is overridden in many subclasses.
Reimplemented from vtkPolyDataSource.
