pyvista.wrap#

wrap(
dataset: NumpyArray[float] | _vtk.vtkDataSet | Trimesh | Mesh | None,
) → pyvista.DataSet | pyvista.pyvista_ndarray | None[source]#

Wrap any given VTK data object to its appropriate PyVista data object.

Other formats that are supported include:

Changed in version 0.38.0: If the passed object is already a wrapped PyVista object, then this is no-op and will return that object directly. In previous versions of PyVista, this would perform a shallow copy.

Parameters:
datasetnumpy.ndarray | trimesh.Trimesh | vtk.DataSet

Dataset to wrap.

Returns:
pyvista.DataSet

The PyVista wrapped dataset.

Examples

Wrap a numpy array representing a random point cloud.

>>> import numpy as np
>>> import pyvista as pv
>>> points = np.random.default_rng().random((10, 3))
>>> cloud = pv.wrap(points)
>>> cloud

Wrap a VTK object.

>>> import pyvista as pv
>>> import vtk
>>> points = vtk.vtkPoints()
>>> p = [1.0, 2.0, 3.0]
>>> vertices = vtk.vtkCellArray()
>>> pid = points.InsertNextPoint(p)
>>> _ = vertices.InsertNextCell(1)
>>> _ = vertices.InsertCellPoint(pid)
>>> point = vtk.vtkPolyData()
>>> _ = point.SetPoints(points)
>>> _ = point.SetVerts(vertices)
>>> mesh = pv.wrap(point)
>>> mesh

Wrap a Trimesh object.

>>> import trimesh
>>> import pyvista as pv
>>> points = [[0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 1], [0, 1, 0]]
>>> faces = [[0, 1, 2]]
>>> tmesh = trimesh.Trimesh(points, faces=faces, process=False)
>>> mesh = pv.wrap(tmesh)
>>> mesh
