vtk数据类型（VTK data type）.docVIP

vtk数据类型（VTK data type） design criteria Compact compact: save storage space. Efficient: ensure efficient retrieval and storage of data is constant time, regardless of the size of the data. Mappable mapping: provide two mapping. One is the data representation needs to be quickly mapped into geometric primitives; two is to be convenient to connect external data into internal data visualization. Minimal Coverage: a small coverage data representation cannot cover all possible data types. Simple Simple: Dataset Data visualization in the pipeline is called data set Dataset. Its itself is an abstract form. DataSet: information structure, topology and geometry information, and attribute data Primitive:cell, point[scalars, vectors, normals, texture, coordinates, tensors] Topology: with geometric invariance. For example, a polygon is a triangle, referring to the topology; and each given point coordinates for the geometry. Geometric space description. Common transformation rotation, translation and zoom. Attribute: is the topology and geometry information. May be a certain temperature value, or the quality of the class of cell. The structure of information units: points and cells. The cell specified topology, points specified geometry. Cell Types The data set consists of one or more cell. Cell cell / cell / acupoint: by point of the specified type column structure. In mathematics, Ci a cell, Ci={p1, P2, pn}, PI,... Belong to P, P is a set of n-dimensional points. VTK cell type vertex vertex, line, polygon and triangle (multiple triangular pieces). Triangle: 2D cell mainly, using three counter clockwise ordered point set representation. Point out the direction of the plane to the specified method, based on the right line. Triangle strip: (not) to form a plurality of coplanar triangles. Sequence number: n+2 Pixel: 2D cell form four points. Note here is different from the usual understanding of pixel is a point, but the cell consists of 4 adjacent points of the. Voxel: 3D cell for
