vtkCGMWriter

Section: Visualization Toolkit IO Classes

Usage

vtkCGMWriter writes CGM (Computer Graphics Metafile) output. CGM is a 2D graphics vector format typically used by large plotters. This writer can handle vertices, lines, polygons, and triangle strips in any combination. Colors are specified either 1) from cell scalars (assumed to be RGB or RGBA color specification), 2) from a specified color; or 3) randomly assigned colors.

Note: During output of the polygonal data, triangle strips are converted to triangles, and polylines to lines. Also, due to limitations in the CGM color model, only 256 colors are available to the color palette.

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

  obj = vtkCGMWriter
