vtkExtentSplitter

Section: Visualization Toolkit Common Classes

Usage

vtkExtentSplitter splits each input extent into non-overlapping sub-extents that are completely contained within other "source extents". A source extent corresponds to some resource providing an extent. Each source extent has an integer identifier, integer priority, and an extent. The input extents are split into sub-extents according to priority, availability, and amount of overlap of the source extents. This can be used by parallel data readers to read as few piece files as possible.

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

  obj = vtkExtentSplitter
