offset

property UnstructuredGrid.offset

Return the cell locations array.

In VTK 9, this is the location of the start of each cell in cell_connectivity, and in VTK < 9, this is the location of the start of each cell in cells.

Returns

numpy.ndarray

Array of cell offsets indicating the start of each cell.

Examples

Return the cell offset array within vtk==9. Since this mesh is composed of all hexahedral cells, note how each cell starts at 8 greater than the prior cell.
