UnstructuredGrid.celltypes

property UnstructuredGrid.celltypes: NumpyArray[np.uint8]

Return the cell types array.

The array contains integer values corresponding to the pyvista.Cell.type of each cell in the dataset. See the pyvista.CellType enum for more information about cell type.

Returns:

numpy.ndarray

Array of cell types.

This mesh contains only linear hexahedral cells, type pyvista.CellType.HEXAHEDRON, which evaluates to 12.

>>> from pyvista import examples
>>> hex_beam = examples.load_hexbeam()
>>> hex_beam.celltypes
array([12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12,
       12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12,
       12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12], dtype=uint8)

Compare this to distinct_cell_types.

>>> hex_beam.distinct_cell_types
{<CellType.HEXAHEDRON: 12>}
