pyvista.ImageDataFilters.rfft#

ImageDataFilters.rfft(output_scalars_name=None, progress_bar=False)[source]#

Apply a reverse fast Fourier transform (RFFT) to the active scalars.

The input can be real or complex data, but the output is always numpy.complex128. The filter is fastest for images that have power of two sizes.

The filter uses a butterfly diagram for each prime factor of the dimension. This makes images with prime number dimensions (i.e. 17x17) much slower to compute. FFTs of multidimensional meshes (i.e volumes) are decomposed so that each axis executes serially.

The frequencies of the input assume standard order: along each axis first positive frequencies are assumed from 0 to the maximum, then negative frequencies are listed from the largest absolute value to smallest. This implies that the corners of the grid correspond to low frequencies, while the center of the grid corresponds to high frequencies.

Parameters:

output_scalars_namestr, optional: The name of the output scalars. By default, this is the same as the active scalars of the dataset.
progress_barbool, default: False: Display a progress bar to indicate progress.

Returns:

pyvista.ImageData: pyvista.ImageData with the applied reverse FFT.
