vtkGenericEdgeTable

Section: Visualization Toolkit Filtering Classes

Usage

vtkGenericEdgeTable is used to indicate the existance of and hold information about edges. Similar to vtkEdgeTable, this class is more sophisticated in that it uses reference counting to keep track of when information about an edge should be deleted.

vtkGenericEdgeTable is a helper class used in the adaptor framework. It is used during the tessellation process to hold information about the error metric on each edge. This avoids recomputing the error metric each time the same edge is visited.

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

  obj = vtkGenericEdgeTable
