Conversion of degenerate cells is controlled by the flags ConvertLinesToPoints, ConvertPolysToLines, ConvertStripsToPolys which act cumulatively such that a degenerate strip may become a poly. The full set is Line with 1 points -> Vert (if ConvertLinesToPoints) Poly with 2 points -> Line (if ConvertPolysToLines) Poly with 1 points -> Vert (if ConvertPolysToLines && ConvertLinesToPoints) Strp with 3 points -> Poly (if ConvertStripsToPolys) Strp with 2 points -> Line (if ConvertStripsToPolys && ConvertPolysToLines) Strp with 1 points -> Vert (if ConvertStripsToPolys && ConvertPolysToLines && ConvertLinesToPoints)
If tolerance is specified precisely=0.0, then vtkCleanPolyData will use the vtkMergePoints object to merge points (which is faster). Otherwise the slower vtkIncrementalPointLocator is used. Before inserting points into the point locator, this class calls a function OperateOnPoint which can be used (in subclasses) to further refine the cleaning process. See vtkQuantizePolyDataPoints.
Note that merging of points can be disabled. In this case, a point locator will not be used, and points that are not used by any cells will be eliminated, but never merged.
To create an instance of class vtkCleanPolyData, simply invoke its constructor as follows
obj = vtkCleanPolyData
obj
is an instance of the vtkCleanPolyData class.
string = obj.GetClassName ()
int = obj.IsA (string name)
vtkCleanPolyData = obj.NewInstance ()
vtkCleanPolyData = obj.SafeDownCast (vtkObject o)

a fraction of Bounding box diagonal, if true, AbsoluteTolerance is
used when adding points to locator (merging)
obj.ToleranceIsAbsoluteOff ()

used when adding points to locator (merging)

performed. If on, a locator will be used, and points laying within
the appropriate tolerance may be merged. If off, points are never
merged. By default, merging is on.
