vtkCellDerivatives is a filter that computes derivatives of scalars and vectors at the center of cells. You can choose to generate different output including the scalar gradient (a vector), computed tensor vorticity (a vector), gradient of input vectors (a tensor), and strain matrix of the input vectors (a tensor); or you may choose to pass data through to the output.
Note that it is assumed that on input scalars and vector point data is available, which are then used to generate cell vectors and tensors. (The interpolation functions of the cells are used to compute the derivatives which is why point data is required.)
To create an instance of class vtkCellDerivatives, simply invoke its constructor as follows
obj = vtkCellDerivatives
The class vtkCellDerivatives has several methods that can be used. They are listed below. Note that the documentation is translated automatically from the VTK sources, and may not be completely intelligible. When in doubt, consult the VTK website. In the methods listed below, obj
is an instance of the vtkCellDerivatives class.
