downloads

Downloadable datasets collected from various sources.

Once downloaded, these datasets are stored locally allowing for the rapid reuse of these datasets.

Files are all hosted in pyvista/data and are downloaded using the download_file function. If you add a file to the example data repository, you should add a download-<dataset> method here which will rendered on this page.

See the Dataset Gallery for detailed information about the datasets, including file and dataset metadata.

Examples

Download Python source code | Download Jupyter notebook

>>> from pyvista import examples
>>> mesh = examples.download_saddle_surface()
>>> mesh.plot()
