Detailed Description
Use a
vtkWindow as input to image pipeline.
vtkWindowToImageFilter provides methods needed to read the data in a vtkWindow and use it as input to the imaging pipeline. This is useful for saving an image to a file for example. Use this filter to convert RenderWindows or ImageWindows to an image format.
- Warning:
- A vtkWindow doesn't behave like other parts of the VTK pipeline: its modification time doesn't get updated when an image is rendered. As a result, naive use of vtkWindowToImageFilter will produce an image of the first image that the window rendered, but which is never updated on subsequent window updates. This behavior is unexpected and in general undesirable.
To force an update of the output image, call vtkWindowToImageFilter's Modified method after rendering to the window.
In VTK versions 4 and later, this filter is part of the canonical way to output an image of a window to a file (replacing the obsolete SaveImageAsPPM method for vtkRenderWindows that existed in 3.2 and earlier). Connect this filter to the output of the window, and filter's output to a writer such as vtkPNGWriter.

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.

Methods invoked by print to print information about the object including superclasses. Typically not called by the user (use Print() instead) but used in the hierarchical print process to combine the output of several classes.
