vtkPolyDataNormals: Split into separate classes
vtkPolyDataNormals
used to be a single class that performed, splitting of strips, orienting polygons,
splitting sharp edges, and computing normals. This class has been split as follows to make
it easier to use and understand.
-
vtkTriangleFilter
now has an option toPreservePolys
, so that only strips can be split. -
vtkOrientPolyData
is a new class that orients polygons. -
vtkSplitSharpEdgesPolyData
is a new class that splits sharp edges. -
vtkPolyDataNormals
now only computes point and cell normals.
The new classes are more efficient and easier to use and read than the old vtkPolyDataNormals
class.
Additionally, vtkAbstractCellLinks
now also have ShallowCopy
which is used to copy the cell links
to avoid copying/rebuilding them.
Moreover, vtkStaticCellLinks
's BuildLinks for vtkPolyData
has been fixed and multi-threaded.
Finally, vtkPolyData
when Editable
is Off, vtkStaticCellLinks
is used to create the cell links.
