Hello,
I have two meshes A and B. For each point on A, I need to find the
point on B that is closest to it. I looked up
vtkCellLocator::FindClosestPoint, and have a few questions about it.
1. In the function prototype
virtual void vtkCellLocator::FindClosestPoint ( double x[3], double
closestPoint[3], vtkGenericCell * cell, vtkIdType & cellId, int &
subId, double & dist2 )
- What is the subId field? I understand that it is populated if and
when a closest point is found, but am not sure as to what information
it ends up holding.
- dist2 equals the distance of the closest point from the point x?
- Which cell's ID does vtkCellId end up holding?
In general, I'm confused about the usage of this function. Suggestions?
Best,
Ambar
