Usage

vtkTemporalDataSetCache cache time step requests of a temporal dataset, when cached data is requested it is returned using a shallow copy. .SECTION Thanks Ken Martin (Kitware) and John Bidiscombe of CSCS - Swiss National Supercomputing Centre for creating and contributing this class.

To create an instance of class vtkTemporalDataSetCache, simply invoke its constructor as follows

  obj = vtkTemporalDataSetCache

Methods

The class vtkTemporalDataSetCache 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 vtkTemporalDataSetCache class.

  • string = obj.GetClassName ()
  • int = obj.IsA (string name)
  • vtkTemporalDataSetCache = obj.NewInstance ()
  • vtkTemporalDataSetCache = obj.SafeDownCast (vtkObject o)
  • obj.SetCacheSize (int size) - This is the maximum number of time steps that can be retained in memory. it defaults to 10.
  • int = obj.GetCacheSize () - This is the maximum number of time steps that can be retained in memory. it defaults to 10.
