Detailed Description

Frustum culling and LOD management.

This class is used to cull instances based on their transformation matrix. It was designed to improve performances when there is large number of instances in vtkOpenGLGlyph3DMapper.

Each instance is tested on the GPU through vertex shader to know if it is inside of the frustum view. If it is, the distance to the camera is computed to select and send to the geometry shader the corresponding LOD index. The geometry shader register the instance to the corresponding vertex stream and therefore the corresponding transform feedback buffer in video memory.

Warning
GL_ARB_gpu_shader5 extension is required.

Methods invoked by print to print information about the object including superclasses.

Typically not called by the user (use Print() instead) but used in the hierarchical print process to combine the output of several classes.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.
