vtkPriorityQueue

Section: Visualization Toolkit Common Classes

Usage

vtkPriorityQueue is a general object for creating and manipulating lists of object ids (e.g., point or cell ids). Object ids are sorted according to a user-specified priority, where entries at the top of the queue have the smallest values.

This implementation provides a feature beyond the usual ability to insert and retrieve (or pop) values from the queue. It is also possible to pop any item in the queue given its id number. This allows you to delete entries in the queue which can useful for reinserting an item into the queue.

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

  obj = vtkPriorityQueue
