Detailed Description

Defines a CAPS DataSet Object.

Created via VertexSet.dataSet.create().

Parameters

DataSet.attr

AttrSequence of ValueIn attributes

Member Function Documentation

connectivity()

connectivity

(

self

)

Executes caps_getTriangles on data set's vertex set to retrieve the connectivity (triangles only) information for the data set.

Returns

Optionally returns a list of lists of connectivity values (e.g. [ [node1, node2, node3], [node2, node3, node7], etc. ] ) and a list of lists of data connectivity (not this is an empty list if the data is node-based) (eg. [ [node1, node2, node3], [node2, node3, node7], etc. ]

data()

data

(

self

)

Executes caps_getData on data set object to retrieve data set variable.

Returns

Optionally returns a list of data values. Data with a rank greater than 1 returns a list of lists (e.g. data representing a displacement would return [ [Node1_xDisplacement, Node1_yDisplacement, Node1_zDisplacement], [Node2_xDisplacement, Node2_yDisplacement, Node2_zDisplacement], etc. ]

link()

link	(		self,
			source,
			dmethod = caps.dMethod.Interpolate
	)

Link this DataSet to an other CAPS DataSet Object.

Parameters

source	The source DataSEt Object
dmethod	Transfter method: dMethod.Interpolate or "Interpolate", tMethod.Conserve or "Conserve"

view()

view	(		self,
			fig = None,
			numDataSet = 1,
			dataSetIndex = 0,
		**	kwargs
	)

Visualize data set.

The function currently relies on matplotlib to plot the data.

Parameters

fig	Figure object (matplotlib::figure) to append image to.
numDataSet	Number of data sets in DataSet.view$fig.
dataSetIndex	Index of data set being added to DataSet.view$fig.
**kwargs	See below.

Valid keywords:

Parameters

filename	Save image(s) to file specified (default - None).
colorMap	Valid string for a, matplotlib::cm, colormap (default - 'Blues').
showImage	Show image(s) (default - True).
title	Set a custom title on the plot (default - VertexSet= 'name', DataSet = 'name', (Var. '#') ).

writeTecplot()

writeTecplot	(		self,
			filename = None,
			file = None
	)

Write data set to a Tecplot compatible data file.

A triagulation of the data set will be used for the connectivity.

Parameters

file	Optional open file object to append data to. If not provided a filename must be given via the keyword arguement DataSet.writeTecplot$filename.
filename	Write Tecplot file with the specified name.

writeVTK()

writeVTK	(		self,
			filename
	)

Write data set to a VTK compatible data file.

A triagulation of the data set will be used for the connectivity.

Parameters

filename

Write VTK file with the specified name.

xyz()

xyz

(

self

)

Executes caps_getData on data set object to retrieve XYZ coordinates of the data set.

Returns

Optionally returns a list of lists of x,y, z values (e.g. [ [x2, y2, z2], [x2, y2, z2], [x3, y3, z3], etc. ] )
