vtkPKdTree

Section: Visualization Toolkit Parallel Classes

Usage

Build, in parallel, a k-d tree decomposition of one or more vtkDataSets distributed across processors. We assume each process has read in one portion of a large distributed data set. When done, each process has access to the k-d tree structure, can obtain information about which process contains data for each spatial region, and can depth sort the spatial regions.

This class can also assign spatial regions to processors, based on one of several region assignment schemes. By default a contiguous, convex region is assigned to each process. Several queries return information about how many and what cells I have that lie in a region assigned to another process.

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

  obj = vtkPKdTree
