MiCellFilterIj

All Superinterfaces:

MiCellFilter
```
public interface MiCellFilterIj
extends MiCellFilter
```
Defines a cell filter for structured surface meshes.
This interface is used for filtering cells on structured surface meshes.
Filtering cells is a way to specify which cells are used to build the mesh representation.
When the method acceptCell returns false, the cell specified by the indices (i,j) is not taken into account by the extraction. It is as if the mesh does not contain this cell.
In order to define a custom cell filter for a structured surface mesh, create a class derived from this class.

```
boolean acceptCell(long i,
                   long j)
```
    Checks if the cell is accepted.
    Accepted cells are used to during the extraction process.
    The implementation of this method must be thread-safe because it might be called concurrently by multiple threads. The way this method is implemented is critical for performance. Any inefficient implementation may impact very significantly the duration of the skin or slab extractions. For instance, using a mutex to ensure this method is thread-safe is in general not efficient.
    
    Parameters:
    
    i - i index of the cell
    
    j - j index of the cell
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the cell is accepted.
