## Detailed Description

read vtk polygonal data file

Date:
  2002/05/31 23:12:41

Revision:
  1.30

vtkPolyDataReader is a source object that reads ASCII or binary polygonal data files in vtk format (see text for format details). The output of this reader is a single vtkPolyData data object. The superclass of this class, vtkDataReader, provides many methods for controlling the reading of the data file, see vtkDataReader for more information.

Warning:
  Binary files written on one system may not be readable on other systems.

## Member Function Documentation

vtkPolyDataReader* vtkPolyDataReader::New | ( |  | ) | `[static]`

| Create an object with Debug turned off, modified time initialized to zero, and reference counting on. Reimplemented from vtkDataReader.

virtual const char* vtkPolyDataReader::GetClassName | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

| Reimplemented from vtkDataReader.

int vtkPolyDataReader::IsTypeOf | ( | const char * | type | ) | `[static]`

| Return 1 if this class type is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeRevisionMacro found in vtkSetGet.h. Reimplemented from vtkDataReader.

virtual int vtkPolyDataReader::IsA | ( | const char * | type | ) | `[virtual]`

| Return 1 if this class is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeRevisionMacro found in vtkSetGet.h. Reimplemented from vtkDataReader.

vtkPolyDataReader* vtkPolyDataReader::SafeDownCast | ( | vtkObject * | o | ) | `[static]`

| Reimplemented from vtkDataReader.

void vtkPolyDataReader::PrintSelf | ( | ostream & | os,
|  | vtkIndent | indent
| ) | `[virtual]`

| Methods invoked by print to print information about the object including superclasses. Typically not called by the user (use Print() instead) but used in the hierarchical print process to combine the output of several classes. Reimplemented from vtkDataReader.

vtkPolyData* vtkPolyDataReader::GetOutput | ( |  | ) |

| Get the output of this reader.

vtkPolyData* vtkPolyDataReader::GetOutput | ( | int | idx | ) | `[inline]`

| Get the output of this reader. Reimplemented from vtkSource. Definition at line 69 of file vtkPolyDataReader.h. References vtkSource::GetOutput().

void vtkPolyDataReader::SetOutput | ( | vtkPolyData * | output | ) |

| Get the output of this reader.

void vtkPolyDataReader::Execute | ( |  | ) | `[protected, virtual]`

| This method is the old style execute method Reimplemented from vtkSource.

void vtkPolyDataReader::ComputeInputUpdateExtents | ( | vtkDataObject * | output | ) | `[protected, virtual]`

| What is the input update extent that is required to produce the desired output? By default, the whole input is always required but this is overridden in many subclasses. Reimplemented from vtkSource.
