vtkPairwiseExtractHistogram2D

Section: Visualization Toolkit Infovis Classes

Usage

This class computes a 2D histogram between all adjacent pairs of columns of an input vtkTable. Internally it creates multiple vtkExtractHistogram2D instances (one for each pair of adjacent table columns). It also manages updating histogram computations intelligently, only recomputing those histograms for whom a relevant property has been altered.

Note that there are two different outputs from this filter. One is a table for which each column contains a flattened 2D histogram array. The other is a vtkMultiBlockDataSet for which each block is a vtkImageData representation of the 2D histogram.

To create an instance of class vtkPairwiseExtractHistogram2D, simply invoke its constructor as follows

  obj = vtkPairwiseExtractHistogram2D

Methods

The class vtkPairwiseExtractHistogram2D 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 vtkPairwiseExtractHistogram2D class.

string = obj.GetClassName ()
int = obj.IsA (string name)
vtkPairwiseExtractHistogram2D = obj.NewInstance ()
vtkPairwiseExtractHistogram2D = obj.SafeDownCast (vtkObject o)
obj.SetNumberOfBins (int , int ) - Set/get the bin dimensions of the histograms to compute
obj.SetNumberOfBins (int a[2]) - Set/get the bin dimensions of the histograms to compute
int = obj. GetNumberOfBins () - Set/get the bin dimensions of the histograms to compute
obj.SetCustomColumnRangeIndex (int ) - Strange method for setting an index to be used for setting custom column range. This was (probably) necessary to get this class to interact with the ParaView client/server message passing interface.
obj.SetCustomColumnRangeByIndex (double , double ) - Strange method for setting an index to be used for setting custom column range. This was (probably) necessary to get this class to interact with the ParaView client/server message passing interface.
obj.SetCustomColumnRange (int col, double range[2]) - More standard way to set the custom range for a particular column. This makes sure that only the affected histograms know that they need to be updated.
obj.SetCustomColumnRange (int col, double rmin, double rmax) - More standard way to set the custom range for a particular column. This makes sure that only the affected histograms know that they need to be updated.
obj.SetScalarType (int ) - Set the scalar type for each of the computed histograms.
obj.SetScalarTypeToUnsignedInt () - Set the scalar type for each of the computed histograms.
obj.SetScalarTypeToUnsignedLong () - Set the scalar type for each of the computed histograms.
obj.SetScalarTypeToUnsignedShort () - Set the scalar type for each of the computed histograms.
obj.SetScalarTypeToUnsignedChar () - Set the scalar type for each of the computed histograms.
int = obj.GetScalarType () - Set the scalar type for each of the computed histograms.
double = obj.GetMaximumBinCount (int idx) - Get the maximum bin count for a single histogram
double = obj.GetMaximumBinCount () - Get the maximum bin count over all histograms
int = obj.GetBinRange (int idx, vtkIdType binX, vtkIdType binY, double range[4]) - Compute the range of the bin located at position (binX,binY) in the 2D histogram at idx.
int = obj.GetBinRange (int idx, vtkIdType bin, double range[4]) - Get the range of the of the bin located at 1D position index bin in the 2D histogram array at idx.
obj.GetBinWidth (int idx, double bw[2]) - Get the width of all of the bins. Also stored in the spacing ivar of the histogram image output at idx.
vtkImageData = obj.GetOutputHistogramImage (int idx) - Get the vtkImageData output of the idx'th histogram filter
vtkExtractHistogram2D = obj.GetHistogramFilter (int idx) - Get a pointer to the idx'th histogram filter.
obj.Aggregate (vtkDataObjectCollection , vtkDataObject ) - Given a collection of models, calculate aggregate model. Not used
