pyvista.DataSet.min_cell_dimensionality

property DataSet.min_cell_dimensionality: Literal[0, 1, 2, 3]

Get the minimum spatial dimensionality of all cells in this mesh.

Added in version 0.47.

Returns:

int

The minimum dimensionality of the dataset’s cells.

See also

max_cell_dimensionality, dimensionality

Notes

min_cell_dimensionality:

• is always 0 for PointSet

• ranges from 0 to 2 for PolyData.

• ranges from 0 to 3 for all other mesh types.

• is equivalent to dimensionality for gridded data types ImageData and RectilinearGrid.

Examples

Show the max and min cell dimensionality of a LINE cell and TRIANGLE cell.

>>> from pyvista.examples import cells
>>> line = cells.Line()
>>> line.max_cell_dimensionality
1
>>> line.min_cell_dimensionality
1

>>> tri = cells.Triangle()
>>> tri.max_cell_dimensionality
2
>>> tri.min_cell_dimensionality
2

Merge the two cells and show the max and min cell dimensionality.

>>> merged = line + tri
>>> merged.max_cell_dimensionality
2
>>> merged.min_cell_dimensionality
1
