vtkAssemblyNode represents a node in an assembly. It is used by vtkAssemblyPath to create hierarchical assemblies of props. The props can be either 2D or 3D.

An assembly node refers to a vtkProp, and possibly a vtkMatrix4x4. Nodes are used by vtkAssemblyPath to build fully evaluated path (matrices are concatenated through the path) that is used by picking and other operations involving assemblies.

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

  obj = vtkAssemblyNode
