| '''Input'''<br>''(Input)'


The Calculator filter computes a new data array or new point coordinates as a function of existing scalar or vector arrays. If point-centered arrays are used in the computation of a new data array, the resulting array will also be point-centered. Similarly, computations using cell-centered arrays will produce a new cell-centered array. If the function is computing point coordinates, the result of the function must be a three-component vector. The Calculator interface operates similarly to a scientific calculator. In creating the function to evaluate, the standard order of operations applies.<br>

The scalars menu lists the names of the scalar arrays and the components of the vector arrays of either the point-centered or cell-centered data. The vectors menu lists the names of the point-centered or cell-centered vector arrays. The function will be computed for each point (or cell) using the scalar or vector value of the array at that point (or cell).<br>
The filter operates on any type of data set, but the input data set must have at least one scalar or vector array. The arrays can be either point-centered or cell-centered. The Calculator filter's output is of the same data set type as the input.<br>

The Cell Centers filter places a point at the center of each cell in the input data set. The center computed is the parametric center of the cell, not necessarily the geometric or bounding box center. The cell attributes of the input will be associated with these newly created points of the output. You have the option of creating a vertex cell per point in the outpuut. This is useful because vertex cells are rendered, but points are not. The points themselves could be used for placing glyphs (using the Glyph filter). The Cell Centers filter takes any type of data set as input and produces a polygonal data set as output.<br>

==Delaunay 2D==
The selected object must be the result of the following: sources (includes readers), filters




Create 2D Delaunay triangulation of input points. It expects a vtkPointSet as input and produces vtkPolyData as output. The points are expected to be in a mostly planar distribution.
The selected dataset must be one of the following types (or a subclass of one of them): vtkDataSet


Delaunay2D is a filter that constructs a 2D Delaunay triangulation from a list of input points. These points may be represented by any dataset of type vtkPointSet and subclasses. The output of the filter is a polygonal dataset containing a triangle mesh.<br><br><br>
The 2D Delaunay triangulation is defined as the triangulation that satisfies the Delaunay criterion for n-dimensional simplexes (in this case n=2 and the simplexes are triangles). This criterion states that a circumsphere of each simplex in a triangulation contains only the n+1 defining points of the simplex. In two dimensions, this translates into an optimal triangulation. That is, the maximum interior angle of any triangle is less than or equal to that of any possible triangulation.<br><br><br>
Delaunay triangulations are used to build topological structures from unorganized (or unstructured) points. The input to this filter is a list of points specified in 3D, even though the triangulation is 2D. Thus the triangulation is constructed in the x-y plane, and the z coordinate is ignored (although carried through to the output). You can use the option ProjectionPlaneMode in order to compute the best-fitting plane to the set of points, project the points and that plane and then perform the triangulation using their projected positions and then use it as the plane in which the triangulation is performed.<br><br><br>
The Delaunay triangulation can be numerically sensitive in some cases. To prevent problems, try to avoid injecting points that will result in triangles with bad aspect ratios (1000:1 or greater). In practice this means inserting points that are "widely dispersed", and enables smooth transition of triangle sizes throughout the mesh. (You may even want to add extra points to create a better point distribution.) If numerical problems are present, you will see a warning message to this effect at the end of the triangulation process.<br><br><br>
Warning:<br>
Points arranged on a regular lattice (termed degenerate cases) can be triangulated in more than one way (at least according to the Delaunay criterion). The choice of triangulation (as implemented by this algorithm) depends on the order of the input points. The first three points will form a triangle; other degenerate points will not break this triangle.<br><br><br>
Points that are coincident (or nearly so) may be discarded by the algorithm. This is because the Delaunay triangulation requires unique input points. The output of the Delaunay triangulation is supposedly a convex hull. In certain cases this implementation may not generate the convex hull.<br>

==Delaunay 3D==

Create a 3D Delaunay triangulation of input                                points.  It expects a vtkPointSet as input and                                produces vtkUnstructuredGrid as output.
==Connectivity=


Delaunay3D is a filter that constructs a 3D Delaunay triangulation<br>
from a list of input points. These points may be represented by any<br>
dataset of type vtkPointSet and subclasses. The output of the filter<br>
is an unstructured grid dataset. Usually the output is a tetrahedral<br>
mesh, but if a non-zero alpha distance value is specified (called<br>
the "alpha" value), then only tetrahedra, triangles, edges, and<br>
vertices lying within the alpha radius are output. In other words,<br>
non-zero alpha values may result in arbitrary combinations of<br>
tetrahedra, triangles, lines, and vertices. (The notion of alpha<br>
value is derived from Edelsbrunner's work on "alpha shapes".)<br><br><br>
The 3D Delaunay triangulation is defined as the triangulation that<br>
satisfies the Delaunay criterion for n-dimensional simplexes (in<br>
this case n=3 and the simplexes are tetrahedra). This criterion<br>
states that a circumsphere of each simplex in a triangulation<br>
contains only the n+1 defining points of the simplex. (See text for<br>
more information.) While in two dimensions this translates into an<br>
"optimal" triangulation, this is not true in 3D, since a measurement<br>
for optimality in 3D is not agreed on.<br><br><br>
Delaunay triangulations are used to build topological structures<br>
from unorganized (or unstructured) points. The input to this filter<br>
is a list of points specified in 3D. (If you wish to create 2D<br>
triangulations see Delaunay2D.) The output is an unstructured<br>
grid.<br><br><br>
The Delaunay triangulation can be numerically sensitive. To prevent<br>
problems, try to avoid injecting points that will result in<br>
triangles with bad aspect ratios (1000:1 or greater). In practice<br>
this means inserting points that are "widely dispersed", and enables<br>
smooth transition of triangle sizes throughout the mesh. (You may<br>
even want to add extra points to create a better point<br>
distribution.) If numerical problems are present, you will see a<br>
warning message to this effect at the end of the triangulation<br>
process.<br><br><br>
Warning:<br>
Points arranged on a regular lattice (termed degenerate cases) can<br>
be triangulated in more than one way (at least according to the<br>
Delaunay criterion). The choice of triangulation (as implemented by<br>
this algorithm) depends on the order of the input points. The first<br>
four points will form a tetrahedron; other degenerate points<br>
(relative to this initial tetrahedron) will not break it.<br><br><br>
Points that are coincident (or nearly so) may be discarded by the<br>
algorithm. This is because the Delaunay triangulation requires<br>
unique input points. You can control the definition of coincidence<br>
with the "Tolerance" instance variable.<br><br><br>
The output of the Delaunay triangulation is supposedly a convex<br>
hull. In certain cases this implementation may not generate the<br>
convex hull. This behavior can be controlled by the Offset instance<br>
variable. Offset is a multiplier used to control the size of the<br>
initial triangulation. The larger the offset value, the more likely<br>
you will generate a convex hull; and the more likely you are to see<br>
numerical problems.<br><br><br>
The implementation of this algorithm varies from the 2D Delaunay<br>
algorithm (i.e., Delaunay2D) in an important way. When points are<br>
injected into the triangulation, the search for the enclosing<br>
tetrahedron is quite different. In the 3D case, the closest<br>
previously inserted point point is found, and then the connected<br>
tetrahedra are searched to find the containing one. (In 2D, a "walk"<br>
towards the enclosing triangle is performed.) If the triangulation<br>
is Delaunay, then an enclosing tetrahedron will be found. However,<br>
in degenerate cases an enclosing tetrahedron may not be found and<br>
the point will be rejected.<br>

==Delaunay 2D=


==Generate Ids==


Create 2D Delaunay triangulation of input points. It expects a vtkPointSet as input and produces vtkPolyData as output. The points are expected to be in a mostly planar distribution


Generate scalars from point and cell ids.
Delaunay2D is a filter that constructs a 2D Delaunay triangulation from a list of input points. These points may be represented by any dataset of type vtkPointSet and subclasses. The output of the filter is a polygonal dataset containing a triangle mesh.<br><br><br
The 2D Delaunay triangulation is defined as the triangulation that satisfies the Delaunay criterion for n-dimensional simplexes (in this case n=2 and the simplexes are triangles). This criterion states that a circumsphere of each simplex in a triangulation contains only the n+1 defining points of the simplex. In two dimensions, this translates into an optimal triangulation. That is, the maximum interior angle of any triangle is less than or equal to that of any possible triangulation.<br><br><br
Delaunay triangulations are used to build topological structures from unorganized (or unstructured) points. The input to this filter is a list of points specified in 3D, even though the triangulation is 2D. Thus the triangulation is constructed in the x-y plane, and the z coordinate is ignored (although carried through to the output). You can use the option ProjectionPlaneMode in order to compute the best-fitting plane to the set of points, project the points and that plane and then perform the triangulation using their projected positions and then use it as the plane in which the triangulation is performed.<br><br><br
The Delaunay triangulation can be numerically sensitive in some cases. To prevent problems, try to avoid injecting points that will result in triangles with bad aspect ratios (1000:1 or greater). In practice this means inserting points that are "widely dispersed", and enables smooth transition of triangle sizes throughout the mesh. (You may even want to add extra points to create a better point distribution.) If numerical problems are present, you will see a warning message to this effect at the end of the triangulation process.<br><br><br
Warning:<br
Points arranged on a regular lattice (termed degenerate cases) can be triangulated in more than one way (at least according to the Delaunay criterion). The choice of triangulation (as implemented by this algorithm) depends on the order of the input points. The first three points will form a triangle; other degenerate points will not break this triangle.<br><br><br
Points that are coincident (or nearly so) may be discarded by the algorithm. This is because the Delaunay triangulation requires unique input points. The output of the Delaunay triangulation is supposedly a convex hull. In certain cases this implementation may not generate the convex hull.<br


This filter generates scalars  using cell and point ids. That is, the point attribute data scalars are generated from the point ids, and the cell attribute data scalars or field data are generated from the the cell ids.<br>

dataset of type vtkPointSet and subclasses. The output of the filter<br
is an unstructured grid dataset. Usually the output is a tetrahedral<br
mesh, but if a non-zero alpha distance value is specified (called<br
the "alpha" value), then only tetrahedra, triangles, edges, and<br
vertices lying within the alpha radius are output. In other words,<br
non-zero alpha values may result in arbitrary combinations of<br
tetrahedra, triangles, lines, and vertices. (The notion of alpha<br
value is derived from Edelsbrunner's work on "alpha shapes".)<br><br><br
The 3D Delaunay triangulation is defined as the triangulation that<br
satisfies the Delaunay criterion for n-dimensional simplexes (in<br
this case n=3 and the simplexes are tetrahedra). This criterion<br
states that a circumsphere of each simplex in a triangulation<br
contains only the n+1 defining points of the simplex. (See text for<br
more information.) While in two dimensions this translates into an<br
"optimal" triangulation, this is not true in 3D, since a measurement<br
for optimality in 3D is not agreed on.<br><br><br
Delaunay triangulations are used to build topological structures<br
from unorganized (or unstructured) points. The input to this filter<br
is a list of points specified in 3D. (If you wish to create 2D<br
triangulations see Delaunay2D.) The output is an unstructured<br
grid.<br><br><br
The Delaunay triangulation can be numerically sensitive. To prevent<br
problems, try to avoid injecting points that will result in<br
triangles with bad aspect ratios (1000:1 or greater). In practice<br
this means inserting points that are "widely dispersed", and enables<br
smooth transition of triangle sizes throughout the mesh. (You may<br

Warning:<br
Points arranged on a regular lattice (termed degenerate cases) can<br
be triangulated in more than one way (at least according to the<br
Delaunay criterion). The choice of triangulation (as implemented by<br
this algorithm) depends on the order of the input points. The first<br
four points will form a tetrahedron; other degenerate points<br
(relative to this initial tetrahedron) will not break it.<br><br><br
Points that are coincident (or nearly so) may be discarded by the<br
algorithm. This is because the Delaunay triangulation requires<br
unique input points. You can control the definition of coincidence<br
with the "Tolerance" instance variable.<br><br><br
The output of the Delaunay triangulation is supposedly a convex<br
hull. In certain cases this implementation may not generate the<br
convex hull. This behavior can be controlled by the Offset instance<br
variable. Offset is a multiplier used to control the size of the<br
initial triangulation. The larger the offset value, the more likely<br
you will generate a convex hull; and the more likely you are to see<br
numerical problems.<br><br><br
The implementation of this algorithm varies from the 2D Delaunay<br
algorithm (i.e., Delaunay2D) in an important way. When points are<br
injected into the triangulation, the search for the enclosing<br
tetrahedron is quite different. In the 3D case, the closest<br
previously inserted point point is found, and then the connected<br
tetrahedra are searched to find the containing one. (In 2D, a "walk"<br
towards the enclosing triangle is performed.) If the triangulation<br
is Delaunay, then an enclosing tetrahedron will be found. However,<br
in degenerate cases an enclosing tetrahedron may not be found and<br
the point will be rejected.<br
