vtkFeatureEdges

Section: Visualization Toolkit Graphics Classes

Usage

vtkFeatureEdges is a filter to extract special types of edges from input polygonal data. These edges are either 1) boundary (used by one polygon) or a line cell; 2) non-manifold (used by three or more polygons); 3) feature edges (edges used by two triangles and whose dihedral angle > FeatureAngle); or 4) manifold edges (edges used by exactly two polygons). These edges may be extracted in any combination. Edges may also be "colored" (i.e., scalar values assigned) based on edge type. The cell coloring is assigned to the cell data of the extracted edges.

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

  obj = vtkFeatureEdges

Methods

The class vtkFeatureEdges 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 vtkFeatureEdges class.
