This class also defines an API to support hardware clipping planes (at most six planes can be defined). It also provides geometric data about the input data it maps, such as the bounding box and center.
To create an instance of class vtkAbstractMapper3D, simply invoke its constructor as follows
obj = vtkAbstractMapper3D
obj
is an instance of the vtkAbstractMapper3D class.
string = obj.GetClassName ()
int = obj.IsA (string name)
vtkAbstractMapper3D = obj.NewInstance ()
vtkAbstractMapper3D = obj.SafeDownCast (vtkObject o)
double = obj.GetBounds ()
- Return bounding box (array of six doubles) of data expressed as
(xmin,xmax, ymin,ymax, zmin,zmax).
Update this->Bounds as a side effect.
obj.GetBounds (double bounds[6])
- Get the bounds for this mapper as (Xmin,Xmax,Ymin,Ymax,Zmin,Zmax).
double = obj.GetCenter ()
- Return the Center of this mapper's data.
obj.GetCenter (double center[3])
- Return the diagonal length of this mappers bounding box.
double = obj.GetLength ()
- Return the diagonal length of this mappers bounding box.
int = obj.IsARayCastMapper ()
- Is this a "render into image" mapper? A subclass would return 1 if the
mapper produces an image by rendering into a software image buffer.
int = obj.IsARenderIntoImageMapper ()
