pyvista.PolyData.strips

property PolyData.strips: NumpyArray[int]

Return or set the strips padded connectivity array.

Like all padded VTK connectivity arrays, the array is structured as:

[n0, p0_0, p0_1, ..., p0_n, n1, p1_0, p1_1, ..., p1_n, ...]

where n0 is the number of points in strip 0, and pX_Y is the Y’th point in strip X.

Only the connectivity of TRIANGLE_STRIP cells is stored in this array.

For example, two strips with one and two triangles, respectively, might look like:

[3, 0, 1, 2, 4, 3, 4, 5, 6]

Where the individual strips are [3, 0, 1, 2] and [4, 3, 4, 5, 6].

Returns:

numpy.ndarray

Array of strip indices.
