KnownLengthArray

Repository source: KnownLengthArray

Description¶

This example creates a VTK style float array. This can be easily interchanged with vtkIntArray, vtkDoubleArray, etc.

The terminology is as follows:

SetNumberOfComponents(): sets the number of elements that a tuple in the array will have. See VectorArrayKnownLength for an example with tuples with more than one element.
SetNumberOfValues(): sets the number of tuples the array will have. See UnknownLengthArray for an example where the number of values is not known in advance.
