pysdic.PointCloud.to_meshio

PointCloud.to_meshio(save_properties=True)

Convert the point cloud to a meshio.Mesh object.

The points are stored as vertices in the mesh and the properties are saved as point data.

• from_meshio() class method for creating a PointCloud object from a meshio.Mesh object.

Parameters:

save_properties (bool, optional) – If True, the point cloud properties will be saved as point data in the mesh. Default is True.

Returns:

A meshio.Mesh object containing the points as vertices.

Return type:

meshio.Mesh

Examples

Converting a PointCloud object to a meshio.Mesh object.

import numpy as np
from pysdic import PointCloud

# Create a random point cloud with 100 points
random_points = np.random.rand(100, 3)  # shape (100, 3)
point_cloud = PointCloud.from_array(random_points)

# Convert the point cloud to a meshio Mesh
mesh = point_cloud.to_meshio()

Now, mesh is a meshio.Mesh object containing the points of the point cloud as vertices.
