vtkVariantStrictWeakOrderKey

A key method (class, actually) for use with sort()

Functions

vtkVariantCreate	Create a vtkVariant of the specified type, where the type is in the following format: ‘int’, ‘unsigned int’, etc. for numeric types, and ‘string’ for strings. You can also use an integer VTK type constant for the type.
vtkVariantExtract	Extract the specified value type from the vtkVariant, where the type is in the following format: ‘int’, ‘unsigned int’, etc. for numeric types, and ‘string’ for strings. You can also use an integer VTK type constant for the type. Set the type to ‘None” to extract the value in its native type.
vtkVariantCast	Cast the vtkVariant to the specified value type, where the type is in the following format: ‘int’, ‘unsigned int’, etc. for numeric types, and ‘string’ for strings. You can also use an integer VTK type constant for the type.
vtkVariantStrictWeakOrder	Compare variants by type first, and then by value.
vtkVariantStrictEquality	Check two variants for strict equality of type and value.
vtkVariantLessThan	Return true if s1 < s2.
vtkVariantEqual	Return true if s1 == s2.

vtkmodules.util.vtkVariant.vtkVariantCreate(v, t)

Create a vtkVariant of the specified type, where the type is in the following format: ‘int’, ‘unsigned int’, etc. for numeric types, and ‘string’ for strings. You can also use an integer VTK type constant for the type.

vtkmodules.util.vtkVariant.vtkVariantExtract(v, t=None)

Extract the specified value type from the vtkVariant, where the type is in the following format: ‘int’, ‘unsigned int’, etc. for numeric types, and ‘string’ for strings. You can also use an integer VTK type constant for the type. Set the type to ‘None” to extract the value in its native type.

vtkmodules.util.vtkVariant.vtkVariantCast(v, t)

Cast the vtkVariant to the specified value type, where the type is in the following format: ‘int’, ‘unsigned int’, etc. for numeric types, and ‘string’ for strings. You can also use an integer VTK type constant for the type.

vtkmodules.util.vtkVariant.vtkVariantStrictWeakOrder(s1, s2)

Compare variants by type first, and then by value.

class vtkmodules.util.vtkVariant.vtkVariantStrictWeakOrderKey(obj, *args)

A key method (class, actually) for use with sort()

Initialization

vtkmodules.util.vtkVariant.vtkVariantStrictEquality(s1, s2)

Check two variants for strict equality of type and value.

vtkmodules.util.vtkVariant.vtkVariantLessThan(s1, s2)

Return true if s1 < s2.

vtkmodules.util.vtkVariant.vtkVariantEqual(s1, s2)

Return true if s1 == s2.
