pub struct vtkSimpleScalarTree(/* private fields */);Expand description
organize data according to scalar values (used to accelerate contouring operations)
vtkSimpleScalarTree creates a pointerless binary tree that helps search for cells that lie within a particular scalar range. This object is used to accelerate some contouring (and other scalar-based techniques).
The tree consists of an array of (min,max) scalar range pairs per node in the tree. The (min,max) range is determined from looking at the range of the children of the tree node. If the node is a leaf, then the range is determined by scanning the range of scalar data in n cells in the dataset. The n cells are determined by arbitrary selecting cell ids from id(i) to id(i+n), and where n is specified using the BranchingFactor ivar. Note that leaf node i=0 contains the scalar range computed from cell ids (0,n-1); leaf node i=1 contains the range from cell ids (n,2n-1); and so on. The implication is that there are no direct lists of cell ids per leaf node, instead the cell ids are implicitly known. Despite the arbitrary grouping of cells, in practice this scalar tree actually performs quite well due to spatial/data coherence.
This class has an API that supports both serial and parallel operation. The parallel API enables the using class to grab arrays (or batches) of cells that potentially intersect the isocontour. These batches can then be processed in separate threads.
