Examples

QUAD has a fixed number of edges.

>>> import pyvista as pv
>>> pv.CellType.QUAD.n_edges
4

POLYGON has a variable number of edges and raises a ValueError.

>>> try:
...     pv.CellType.POLYGON.n_edges
... except ValueError as error:
...     print(error)
Cannot determine number of edges for 'POLYGON' without a concrete cell instance.

Zero- and one-dimensional cell types have no edges.

>>> pv.CellType.VERTEX.n_edges
0

>>> pv.CellType.LINE.n_edges
