as_vtkGrid(rendering, grid_type, subzone=None, filename=None, module_name='module', vector_name='vector', grid=None, version='XML', binary=True, compression='ZLib', compression_level=5, transform_wind=0)

Note

Requires plugin: with_vtk (config.activate_plugins)

Returns a vtkStructuredGrid filled with the field :param rendering: a usevtk.Usevtk instance :param grid_type: can be:

• sgrid_point: structured grid filled with points

• sgrid_cell: structured grid filled with hexahedron

  If the field is 2D, a zero thickness is used. If the field is 3D, thickness are approximately computed

• ugrid_point: unstructured grid filled with points

• ugrid_cell: unstructured grid build filled with cells

  If the field is 2D, a zero thickness is used. If the field is 3D, thickness are approximately computed

Parameters

• subzone –

  optional, among (‘C’, ‘CI’), for LAM grids only, returns the grid resp. for the C or C+I zone off the C+I+E zone.

  Default is no subzone, i.e. the whole field.

• filename – if not None, resulting grid will be written into filename

• module_name – name to give to the scalar field containing the module (useful with the grid option)

• vector_name' – name of the vector field (useful with the grid option)

• grid – if grid is not None, the method will add the data to it.

• version – must be ‘legacy’ or ‘XML’, used with filename

• binary – True (default) for a binary file, used with filename

• compression – must be None, ‘LZ4’ or ‘ZLib’ only used for binary XML

• compression_level – between 1 and 9, only used for binary XML Zlib-compressed

• transform_wind –

  to rotate ans scale wind according to vtk coordinates: 0: do nothing 1: scale the w component to take into account the z axis expansion,

  the total module is not preserved but the horizontal one is preserved. The horizontal components must be oriented along the vtk axes.

  2: same as option 1 but the total module is preserved whereas the horizontal

  one is not preserved

  3: same as option 1 but, in addition, all the components are rotated.

  The horizontal components must be oriented along north-south and east-west axes.

  4: same as option 3 but (as for option 2), the total module is preserved whereas

  the horizontal one is not preserved

If grid_type is ‘sgrid_point’, the result is the grid; otherwise the result is the function is the last filter used.
