vtkRungeKutta45
Section: Visualization Toolkit Common Classes
Usage
This is a concrete sub-class of vtkInitialValueProblemSolver.
It uses a 5th order Runge-Kutta method with stepsize control to obtain
the values of a set of functions at the next time step. The stepsize
is adjusted by calculating an estimated error using an embedded 4th
order Runge-Kutta formula:

To create an instance of class vtkRungeKutta45, simply
invoke its constructor as follows
obj = vtkRungeKutta45
Methods
The class vtkRungeKutta45 has several methods that can be used.
They are listed below.
Note that the documentation is translated automatically from the VTK sources,
and may not be completely intelligible. When in doubt, consult the VTK website.
In the methods listed below, obj
is an instance of the vtkRungeKutta45 class.
-
string = obj.GetClassName ()
-
int = obj.IsA (string name)
-
vtkRungeKutta45 = obj.NewInstance ()
-
vtkRungeKutta45 = obj.SafeDownCast (vtkObject o)
