Data Descriptors
----------------


   
   BoundaryVertexDeletion
       If this property is set to 1, then vertices on the
       boundary of the dataset can be removed. Setting the value of this
       property to 0 preserves the boundary of the dataset, but it may cause
       the filter not to reach its reduction target.
   
   FeatureAngle
       The value of this property is used in determining where
       the data set may be split. If the angle between two adjacent triangles
       is greater than or equal to the FeatureAngle value, then their boundary
       is considered a feature edge where the dataset can be
       split.
   
   Input
       This property specifies the input to the Decimate
       filter.
   
   PreserveTopology
       If this property is set to 1, decimation will not split
       the dataset or produce holes, but it may keep the filter from reaching
       the reduction target. If it is set to 0, better reduction can occur
       (reaching the reduction target), but holes in the model may be
       produced.
   
   TargetReduction
       This property specifies the desired reduction in the
       total number of polygons in the output dataset. For example, if the
       TargetReduction value is 0.9, the Decimate filter will attempt to
       produce an output dataset that is 10% the size of the
       input.)

Methods inherited from SourceProxy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


   
   FileNameChanged(self)
       Called when the filename of a source proxy is changed.
   
   GetCellDataInformation(self)
       Returns the associated cell data information.
   
   GetDataInformation(self, idx=None)
       This method returns a DataInformation wrapper around a
       vtkPVDataInformation
   
   GetFieldDataInformation(self)
       Returns the associated cell data information.
   
   GetPointDataInformation(self)
       Returns the associated point data information.
   
   UpdatePipeline(self, time=None)
       This method updates the server-side VTK pipeline and the associated
       data information. Make sure to update a source to validate the output
       meta-data.
   
   UpdatePipelineInformation(self)
       This method updates the meta-data of the server-side VTK pipeline and
       the associated information properties
   
   __getitem__(self, idx)
       Given a slice, int or string, returns the corresponding
       output port
   
   

Methods inherited from Proxy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


   
   GetProperty(self, name)
       Given a property name, returns the property object.
   
   GetPropertyValue(self, name)
       Returns a scalar for properties with 1 elements, the property
       itself for vectors.
   
   InitializeFromProxy(self, aProxy, update=True)
       Constructor. Assigns proxy to self.SMProxy, updates the server
       object as well as register the proxy in _pyproxies dictionary.
   
   ListProperties(self)
       Returns a list of all property names on this proxy.
   
   SetPropertyWithName(self, pname, arg)
       Generic method for setting the value of a property.
   
   __del__(self)
       Destructor. Cleans up all observers as well as remove
       the proxy from the _pyproxies dictionary
   
   __eq__(self, other)
       Returns true if the underlying SMProxies are the same.
   
   __getattr__(self, name)
       With the exception of a few overloaded methods,
       returns the SMProxy method
   
   __init__(self, \*\*args)
       Default constructor. It can be used to initialize properties
       by passing keyword arguments where the key is the name of the
       property. In addition registrationGroup and registrationName (optional)
       can be specified (as keyword arguments) to automatically register
       the proxy with the proxy manager.
   
   __iter__(self)
       Creates an iterator for the properties.
   
   __ne__(self, other)
       Returns false if the underlying SMProxies are the same.
   
   __setattr__(self, name, value)
   
   add_attribute(self, name, value)
