Gridded Data#

Gridded datasets have topologically regular point spacing. They are more memory efficient than point sets because their geometry can be described with a few parameters rather than explicit point arrays.

RectilinearGrid

Variable spacing along the three coordinate directions. Extension of vtkRectilinearGrid.
