vtkGlyphSource2D

Section: Visualization Toolkit Graphics Classes

Usage

vtkGlyphSource2D can generate a family of 2D glyphs each of which lies in the x-y plane (i.e., the z-coordinate is zero). The class is a helper class to be used with vtkGlyph2D and vtkXYPlotActor.

To use this class, specify the glyph type to use and its attributes. Attributes include its position (i.e., center point), scale, color, and whether the symbol is filled or not (a polygon or closed line sequence). You can also put a short line through the glyph running from -x to +x (the glyph looks like it's on a line), or a cross.

To create an instance of class vtkGlyphSource2D, simply invoke its constructor as follows

  obj = vtkGlyphSource2D
