vtkQuadraticPyramid

Section: Visualization Toolkit Filtering Classes

Usage

vtkQuadraticPyramid is a concrete implementation of vtkNonLinearCell to represent a three-dimensional, 13-node isoparametric parabolic pyramid. The interpolation is the standard finite element, quadratic isoparametric shape function. The cell includes a mid-edge node. The ordering of the thirteen points defining the cell is point ids (0-4,5-12) where point ids 0-4 are the five corner vertices of the pyramid; followed by eight midedge nodes (5-12). Note that these midedge nodes correspond lie on the edges defined by (0,1), (1,2), (2,3), (3,0), (0,4), (1,4), (2,4), (3,4).

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