vtkPolyDataMapper2D

Section: Visualization Toolkit Rendering Classes

Usage

vtkPolyDataMapper2D is a mapper that renders 3D polygonal data (vtkPolyData) onto the 2D image plane (i.e., the renderer's viewport). By default, the 3D data is transformed into 2D data by ignoring the z-coordinate of the 3D points in vtkPolyData, and taking the x-y values as local display values (i.e., pixel coordinates). Alternatively, you can provide a vtkCoordinate object that will transform the data into local display coordinates (use the vtkCoordinate::SetCoordinateSystem() methods to indicate which coordinate system you are transforming the data from).

To create an instance of class vtkPolyDataMapper2D, simply invoke its constructor as follows

  obj = vtkPolyDataMapper2D
