Gridded Data

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.

ImageData

Uniform spacing along the three coordinate directions. Commonly used for images and volumetric data. Extension of vtkImageData.

Class Reference#

RectilinearGrid(*args, **kwargs)

Dataset with variable spacing in the three coordinate directions.

ImageData(*args, **kwargs)

Models datasets with uniform spacing in the three coordinate directions.

Shared Base Classes#

These classes are not used directly. They are documented because they define members that several of the classes above share, so that each of those members is documented once, here, and linked from every class that inherits it.

Grid(*args, **kwargs)

A class full of common methods for non-pointset grids.
