vtkGenericAttribute

Section: Visualization Toolkit Filtering Classes

Usage

vtkGenericAttribute is an abstract class that defines an API for attribute data. Attribute data is data associated with the topology or geometry of a dataset (i.e., points, cells, etc.). vtkGenericAttribute is part of the adaptor framework (see GenericFiltering/README.html).

vtkGenericAttribute provides a more general interface to attribute data than its counterpart vtkDataArray (which assumes a linear, contiguous array). It adopts an iterator interface, and allows attributes to be associated with points, edges, faces, or edges.

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

  obj = vtkGenericAttribute
