vtkHexahedron

Section: Visualization Toolkit Filtering Classes

Usage

vtkHexahedron is a concrete implementation of vtkCell to represent a linear, 3D rectangular hexahedron (e.g., "brick" topology). vtkHexahedron uses the standard isoparametric shape functions for a linear hexahedron. The hexahedron is defined by the eight points (0-7) where (0,1,2,3) is the base of the hexahedron which, using the right hand rule, forms a quadrilaterial whose normal points in the direction of the opposite face (4,5,6,7).

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

  obj = vtkHexahedron
