By * default the location of the points is random within the sphere. It is also * possible to generate random points only on the surface of the sphere; or a * exponential distribution weighted towards the center point. The output * PolyData has the specified number of points and a single cell - a * vtkPolyVertex cell referencing all of the points. * * @note * If Lambda set to zero, a uniform distribution is used. Negative lambda * values are allowed, but the distribution function becomes inverted. * * @note * If you desire to create complex point clouds (e.g., stellar distributions) * then use multiple point sources and then append them together using the * an append filter (e.g., vtkAppendPolyData). * * @sa * vtkAppendPolyData */ #ifndef vtkPointSource_h #define vtkPointSource_h #include "vtkFiltersSourcesModule.h" // For export macro #include "vtkPolyDataAlgorithm.h" #define VTK_POINT_SHELL 0 #define VTK_POINT_UNIFORM 1 #define VTK_POINT_EXPONENTIAL 2 class vtkRandomSequence; class VTKFILTERSSOURCES_EXPORT vtkPointSource : public vtkPolyDataAlgorithm { public: ///@{ /** * Standard methods for instantiation, type information, and printing. */ static vtkPointSource* New(); vtkTypeMacro(vtkPointSource, vtkPolyDataAlgorithm); void PrintSelf(ostream& os, vtkIndent indent) override; ///@} ///@{ /** * Set the number of points to generate. */ vtkSetClampMacro(NumberOfPoints, vtkIdType, 1, VTK_ID_MAX); vtkGetMacro(NumberOfPoints, vtkIdType); ///@} ///@{ /** * Set the center of the point cloud. */ vtkSetVector3Macro(Center, double); vtkGetVectorMacro(Center, double, 3); ///@} ///@{ /** * Set the radius of the point cloud.
