DataSet.find_cells_within_bounds

DataSet.find_cells_within_bounds(bounds: VectorLikeFloat) → NDArray[np.int_]

Find the index of cells in this mesh within bounds.

Warning

This filter internally builds and caches a vtkCellTreeLocator. If the mesh’s geometry is modified, the cache will no longer be valid.

Parameters:

boundsVectorLikeFloat

Bounding box. The form is: (x_min, x_max, y_min, y_max, z_min, z_max).

Returns:

numpy.ndarray

Indices of the cells whose bounds intersect bounds.

>>> import pyvista as pv
>>> mesh = pv.Cube()
>>> index = mesh.find_cells_within_bounds([-2.0, 2.0, -2.0, 2.0, -2.0, 2.0])
