#include <itkVariableLengthVector.h>

Detailed Description

template<typename TValueType>
class itk::VariableLengthVector< TValueType >

Represents an array whose length can be defined at run-time.

This class is templated over the data type. This data-type is meant to be a scalar, such as float, double etc...

Note
ITK itself provides several classes that can serve as Arrays.
  • FixedArray - Compile time fixed length arrays that's intended to represent an enumerated collection of n entities.
  • Array - Run time resizeable array that is intended to hold a collection of n entities
  • Vector - Compile time fixed length array that is intended to hold a collection of n data types. A vector usually has a mathematical meaning. It should only be used when mathematical operations such as addition, multiplication by a scalar, product etc make sense.
  • VariableLengthVector - Run time array that is intended to hold a collection of scalar data types. Again, it should be used only when mathematical operations on it are relevant. If not, use an Array.
  • Point - Represents the spatial coordinates of a spatial location. Operators on Point reflect geometrical concepts.
For the reasons listed above, you cannot instantiate
VariableLengthVector< bool >
.
Design Considerations: We do not derive from vnl_vector to avoid being limited by the explicit template instantiations of vnl_vector and other hacks that vnl folks have been forced to use.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<typename TValueType>
itk::VariableLengthVector< TValueType >::VariableLengthVector ( )

Default constructor. It is created with an empty array it has to be allocated later by assignment

template<typename TValueType>
itk::VariableLengthVector< TValueType >::VariableLengthVector ( unsigned int  dimension)
explicit

Constructor with size. Size can only be changed by assignment

template<typename TValueType>
itk::VariableLengthVector< TValueType >::VariableLengthVector ( ValueType data,
unsigned int  sz,
bool  LetArrayManageMemory = false 
)

Constructor that initializes array with contents from a user supplied buffer. The pointer to the buffer and the length is specified. By default, the array does not manage the memory of the buffer. It merely points to that location and it is the user's responsibility to delete it. If "LetArrayManageMemory" is true, then this class will free the memory when this object is destroyed.

template<typename TValueType>
itk::VariableLengthVector< TValueType >::VariableLengthVector ( const ValueType data,
unsigned int  sz,
bool  LetArrayManageMemory = false 
)

Constructor that initializes array with contents from a user supplied buffer. The pointer to the buffer and the length is specified. By default, the array does not manage the memory of the buffer. It merely points to that location and it is the user's responsibility to delete it. If "LetArrayManageMemory" is true, then this class will free the memory when this object is destroyed.

template<typename TValueType>
template<class T >
itk::VariableLengthVector< TValueType >::VariableLengthVector ( const VariableLengthVector< T > &  v)
inline

Copy constructor. The reason why the copy constructor and the assignment operator are templated is that it will allow implicit casts to be performed. For instance

VariableLengthVector< int > vI;
VariableLengthVector< float > vF( vI );
or for instance vF = static_cast< VariableLengthVector< float > >( vI );

template<typename TValueType>
itk::VariableLengthVector< TValueType >::VariableLengthVector ( const VariableLengthVector< TValueType > &  v)

Copy constructer.. Override the default non-templated copy constructor that the compiler provides

template<typename TValueType>
itk::VariableLengthVector< TValueType >::~VariableLengthVector ( )

This destructor is not virtual for performance reasons. However, this means that subclasses cannot allocate memory.

template<typename TValueType>
void itk::VariableLengthVector< TValueType >::Reserve ( ElementIdentifier  )

Reserves memory of a certain length.

If the array already contains data, the existing data is copied over and new space is allocated, if necessary. If the length to reserve is less than the current number of elements, then an appropriate number of elements are discarded.

template<typename TValueType>
void itk::VariableLengthVector< TValueType >::SetData ( TValueType *  data,
bool  LetArrayManageMemory = false 
)

Set the pointer from which the data is imported. If "LetArrayManageMemory" is false, then the application retains the responsibility of freeing the memory for this data. If "LetArrayManageMemory" is true, then this class will free the memory when this object is destroyed.

Referenced by itk::MetaArrayReader::GetOutput().

template<typename TValueType>
void itk::VariableLengthVector< TValueType >::SetData ( TValueType *  data,
unsigned int  sz,
bool  LetArrayManageMemory = false 
)

Similar to the previous method. In the above method, the size must be separately set prior to using user-supplied data. This introduces an unnecessary allocation step to be performed. This method avoids it and should be used to import data wherever possible to avoid this. Set the pointer from which the data is imported. If "LetArrayManageMemory" is false, then the application retains the responsibility of freeing the memory for this data. If "LetArrayManageMemory" is true, then this class will free the memory when this object is destroyed.

template<typename TValueType>
void itk::VariableLengthVector< TValueType >::SetElement ( unsigned int  i,
const TValueType &  value 
)
inline

References itk::VariableLengthVector< TValueType >::m_Data.

template<typename TValueType>
void itk::VariableLengthVector< TValueType >::SetSize ( unsigned int  sz,
bool  destroyExistingData = true 
)

Set the size to that given.

If destroyExistingData is false: If the array already contains data, the existing data is copied over and new space is allocated, if necessary. If the length to reserve is less than the current number of elements, then an appropriate number of elements are discarded. If true, the size is set destructively to the length given. If the length is different from the current length, existing data will be lost. The default is true.
