Data

Name	Description	Default value
name	object name	unnamed
printLog	if true, emits extra messages at runtime.	0
tags	list of the subsets the object belongs to
bbox	this object bounding box
componentState	The state of the component among (Dirty, Valid, Undefined, Loading, Invalid).	Undefined
listening	if true, handle the events, otherwise ignore the events	0
Inputs
number	Sample number	1
position	Input positions.
edges	Input edges for geodesic sampling (Euclidean distances are used if not specified).
maxIter	Max number of Lloyd iterations.	100
Outputs
outputIndices	Computed sample indices.
outputPosition	Computed sample coordinates.

Links

Name	Description	Destination type name
context	Graph Node containing this object (or BaseContext::getDefault() if no graph is used)	BaseContext
slaves	Sub-objects used internally by this object	BaseObject
master	nullptr for regular objects, or master object for which this object is one sub-objects	BaseObject
