vpClassifyScalars(3) Library Functions Manual vpClassifyScalars(3) NAME vpClassifyScalars - create a preclassified volume from scalar data SYNOPSIS #include <volpack.h> vpResult vpClassifyScalars(vpc, scalar_data, length, scalar_field, gradient_field, norm_field) vpContext *vpc; unsigned char *scalars; int size; int scalar_field, gradient_field, norm_field; ARGUMENTS vpc VolPack context from vpCreateContext. scalar_data A 3D array containing one 8-bit scalar value for each voxel in the volume. length Size of scalar_data in bytes. scalar_field Field number identifying a voxel field for storing the scalar value. gradient_field Field number identifying a voxel field for storing the gradient mag- nitude of the scalar value. norm_field Field number identifying a voxel field for storing the surface nor- mal vector for the voxel. DESCRIPTION vpClassifyScalars combines the functionality of vpVolumeNormals and vpClas- sifyVolume to produce a preclassified volume directly from a 3D array of scalar values without creating a 3D voxel array. This routine is useful for preparing large data sets for rendering with a fixed classification function, especially if the 3D voxel array would be too large to fit in main memory. The primary limitation is that the only fields each voxel may contain are the fields produced by vpVolumeNormals: an 8-bit scalar value, and 8-bit gradient and/or a 16-bit surface normal vector. See also vpClas- sifyScanline for processing one scanline of a scalar array at a time. To use the function, first define the volume size, voxel size, and voxel fields as you would before calling vpVolumeNormals. However, there is no need to call vpSetRawVoxels. Also define the opacity transfer function (see vpSetClassifierTable(3)). Then call vpClassifyScalars with the same arguments you would use for vpVolumeNormals; see vpVolumeNormals(3) for more details. The result is a preclassified volume, as described in vp- ClassifyVolume(3). If a voxel array has been declared it is not used or modified. Any existing preclassified volume data is destroyed. STATE VARIABLES Information about the current preclassified volume can be retrieved with the following state variable codes (see vpGeti(3)): VP_VIEW_X_SIZE, VP_VIEW_Y_SIZE, VP_VIEW_Z_SIZE, VP_VIEW_X_AXIS, VP_VIEW_Y_AXIS, VP_VIEW_Z_AXIS. ERRORS The normal return value is VP_OK. The following error return values are possible: VPERROR_BAD_VOXEL The voxel size or the voxel fields have not been specified or have been incorrectly specified. VPERROR_BAD_CLASSIFIER The opacity transfer function tables have invalid sizes or are asso- ciated with invalid voxel fields or have been incorrectly specified.
