pyvista.UniformGrid¶

class UniformGrid(uinput=None, *args, dims=None, spacing=(1.0, 1.0, 1.0), origin=(0.0, 0.0, 0.0))¶

Models datasets with uniform spacing in the three coordinate directions.

Can be initialized in one of several ways:

Create empty grid
Initialize from a vtk.vtkImageData object
Initialize based on dimensions, cell spacing, and origin.

Changed in version 0.33.0: First argument must now be either a path or vtk.vtkImageData. Use keyword arguments to specify the dimensions, spacing, and origin of the uniform grid.

Parameters

uinputstr, vtk.vtkImageData, pyvista.UniformGrid, optional: Filename or dataset to initialize the uniform grid from. If set, remainder of arguments are ignored.
dimsiterable, optional: Dimensions of the uniform grid.
spacingiterable, optional: Spacing of the uniform in each dimension. Defaults to (1.0, 1.0, 1.0). Must be positive.
originiterable, optional: Origin of the uniform grid. Defaults to (0.0, 0.0, 0.0).

Examples

Create an empty UniformGrid.

>>> import pyvista
>>> grid = pyvista.UniformGrid()

Initialize from a vtk.vtkImageData object.

>>> import vtk
>>> vtkgrid = vtk.vtkImageData()
>>> grid = pyvista.UniformGrid(vtkgrid)

Initialize using using just the grid dimensions and default spacing and origin. These must be keyword arguments.

>>> grid = pyvista.UniformGrid(dims=(10, 10, 10))

Initialize using dimensions and spacing.

>>> grid = pyvista.UniformGrid(
...     dims=(10, 10, 10),
...     spacing=(2, 1, 5),
... )

Initialize using dimensions, spacing, and an origin.

>>> grid = pyvista.UniformGrid(
...     dims=(10, 10, 10),
...     spacing=(2, 1, 5),
...     origin=(10, 35, 50),
... )

Initialize from another UniformGrid.

>>> grid = pyvista.UniformGrid(
...     dims=(10, 10, 10),
...     spacing=(2, 1, 5),
...     origin=(10, 35, 50),
... )
>>> grid_from_grid = pyvista.UniformGrid(grid)
>>> grid_from_grid == grid
True
