vtkPolyDataSourceWidget

Section: Visualization Toolkit Widget Classes

Usage

This abstract class serves as parent to 3D widgets that have simple vtkPolyDataSource instances defining their geometry.

In addition to what is offered by the vtk3DWidget parent, this class makes it possible to manipulate the underlying polydatasource and to PlaceWidget() according to that, instead of having to make use of SetInput() or SetProp3D().

Implementors of child classes HAVE to implement their PlaceWidget(bounds) to check for the existence of Input and Prop3D FIRST. If these don't exist, place according to the underlying PolyDataSource. Child classes also have to imprement UpdatePlacement(), which updates the widget according to the geometry of the underlying PolyDataSource.

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

  obj = vtkPolyDataSourceWidget
