vtkMatrix3x3

Section: Visualization Toolkit Common Classes

Usage

vtkMatrix3x3 is a class to represent and manipulate 3x3 matrices. Specifically, it is designed to work on 3x3 transformation matrices found in 2D rendering using homogeneous coordinates [x y w].

To create an instance of class vtkMatrix3x3, simply invoke its constructor as follows

  obj = vtkMatrix3x3

Methods

The class vtkMatrix3x3 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 vtkMatrix3x3 class.

string = obj.GetClassName ()
int = obj.IsA (string name)
vtkMatrix3x3 = obj.NewInstance ()
vtkMatrix3x3 = obj.SafeDownCast (vtkObject o)
obj.DeepCopy (vtkMatrix3x3 source) - Non-static member function. Assigns *from* elements array
obj.DeepCopy (double Elements[9]) - Set all of the elements to zero.
obj.Zero () - Set equal to Identity matrix
obj.Identity () - Matrix Inversion (adapted from Richard Carling in "Graphics Gems," Academic Press, 1990).
obj.Invert () - Transpose the matrix and put it into out.
obj.Transpose () - Multiply a homogeneous coordinate by this matrix, i.e. out = A*in. The in[3] and out[3] can be the same array.
obj.MultiplyPoint (float in[3], float out[3]) - Multiply a homogeneous coordinate by this matrix, i.e. out = A*in. The in[3] and out[3] can be the same array.
obj.MultiplyPoint (double in[3], double out[3]) - Multiplies matrices a and b and stores the result in c (c=a*b).
obj.Adjoint (vtkMatrix3x3 in, vtkMatrix3x3 out) - Compute the determinant of the matrix and return it.
double = obj.Determinant () - Sets the element i,j in the matrix.
obj.SetElement (int i, int j, double value) - Sets the element i,j in the matrix.
double = obj.GetElement (int i, int j) const
bool = obj.IsIdentity ()
