pyvista.CellType#

enum CellType(value)[source]#

Define types of cells.

Notes

See vtkCellType.h for all cell types.

Examples

Create a single cube. Notice how the cell type is defined using the CellType.

>>> import numpy as np
>>> from pyvista import CellType
>>> import pyvista as pv
>>> cells = np.array([8, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7])
>>> cell_type = np.array([CellType.HEXAHEDRON], np.int8)
>>> points = np.array(
...     [
...         [0, 0, 0],
...         [1, 0, 0],
...         [1, 1, 0],
...         [0, 1, 0],
...         [0, 0, 1],

...         [0, 1, 1],
...     ],
...     dtype=np.float32,
... )
>>> grid = pv.UnstructuredGrid(cells, cell_type, points)
>>> grid
