Detailed Description

works around type-checking limitations

vtkCastToConcrete is a filter that works around type-checking limitations in the filter classes. Some filters generate abstract types on output, and cannot be connected to the input of filters requiring a concrete input type. For example, vtkElevationFilter generates vtkDataSet for output, and cannot be connected to vtkDecimate, because vtkDecimate requires vtkPolyData as input. This is true even though (in this example) the input to vtkElevationFilter is of type vtkPolyData, and you know the output of vtkElevationFilter is the same type as its input.

vtkCastToConcrete performs run-time checking to insure that output type is of the right type. An error message will result if you try to cast an input type improperly. Otherwise, the filter performs the appropriate cast and returns the data.

Warning
You must specify the input before you can get the output. Otherwise an error results.

protectedvirtual

This is called within ProcessRequest when a request asks the algorithm to do its work. This is the method you should override to do whatever the algorithm is designed to do. This happens during the fourth pass in the pipeline execution process.

Reimplemented from vtkDataSetAlgorithm.

virtual int vtkCastToConcrete::RequestInformation ( vtkInformation *  ,
vtkInformationVector **  ,
vtkInformationVector *   
)
protectedvirtual

This is called within ProcessRequest when a request asks for Information. Typically an algorithm provides whatever lightweight information about its output that it can here without doing any lengthy computations. This happens in the first pass of the pipeline execution.

Reimplemented from vtkDataSetAlgorithm.
