edge_mask#

PolyDataFilters.edge_mask(angle, progress_bar=False)[source]#

Return a mask of the points of a surface mesh that has a surface angle greater than angle.

Parameters:

anglefloat: Angle to consider an edge.
progress_barbool, optional: Display a progress bar to indicate progress.

Returns:

numpy.ndarray: Mask of points with an angle greater than angle.

Examples

Plot the mask of points that exceed 45 degrees.

>>> import pyvista
>>> mesh = pyvista.Cube().triangulate().subdivide(4)
>>> mask = mesh.edge_mask(45)
>>> mask  
array([ True,  True,  True, ..., False, False, False])
>>> mesh.plot(scalars=mask)
