vtkPainter

Section: Visualization Toolkit Rendering Classes

Usage

This defines the interface for a Painter. Painters are helpers used by Mapper to perform the rendering. The mapper sets up a chain of painters and passes the render request to the painter. Every painter may have a delegate painter to which the render request is forwarded. The Painter may modify the request or data before passing it to the delegate painter. All the information to control the rendering must be passed to the painter using the vtkInformation object. A concrete painter may read special keys from the vtkInformation object and affect the rendering.

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