DataSetFilters.sample_over_circular_arc

DataSetFilters.sample_over_circular_arc(

pointa: VectorLike[float],

pointb: VectorLike[float],

center: VectorLike[float],

resolution: int | None = None,

tolerance: float | None = None,

progress_bar: bool = False,

)

Sample a dataset over a circular arc.

Parameters:

pointasequence[float]

Location in [x, y, z].

pointbsequence[float]

Location in [x, y, z].

centersequence[float]

Location in [x, y, z].

resolutionint, optional

Number of pieces to divide circular arc into. Defaults to number of cells in the input mesh. Must be a positive integer.

tolerancefloat, optional

Tolerance used to compute whether a point in the source is in a cell of the input. If not given, tolerance is automatically generated.

progress_barbool, default: False

Display a progress bar to indicate progress.

Returns:

pyvista.PolyData

Arc containing the sampled data.
