pyvista.DataSetFilters.sample_over_multiple_lines

DataSetFilters.sample_over_multiple_lines(points, tolerance=None, progress_bar=False)

Sample a dataset onto a multiple lines.

Parameters:

pointsarray_like[float]

List of points defining multiple lines.

tolerancefloat, optional

Tolerance used to compute whether a point in the source is in a cell of the input. If not given, tolerance is automatically generated.

progress_barbool, default: False

Display a progress bar to indicate progress.

Returns:

pyvista.PolyData

Line object with sampled data from dataset.

Examples

Sample over a plane that is interpolating a point cloud.

>>> import pyvista as pv
>>> import numpy as np
>>> np.random.seed(12)
>>> point_cloud = np.random.random((5, 3))
>>> point_cloud[:, 2] = 0
>>> point_cloud -= point_cloud.mean(0)
>>> pdata = pv.PolyData(point_cloud)
>>> pdata['values'] = np.random.random(5)
>>> plane = pv.Plane()
>>> plane.clear_data()
>>> plane = plane.interpolate(pdata, sharpness=3.5)
>>> sample = plane.sample_over_multiple_lines(
...     [[-0.5, -0.5, 0], [0.5, -0.5, 0], [0.5, 0.5, 0]]
... )
>>> pl = pv.Plotter()
>>> _ = pl.add_mesh(
...     pdata, render_points_as_spheres=True, point_size=50
... )
>>> _ = pl.add_mesh(sample, scalars='values', line_width=10)
>>> _ = pl.add_mesh(plane, scalars='values', style='wireframe')
>>> pl.show()
