Slice Triangle Geometry

Group (Subgroup)

Sampling (Geometry)

Description

This Filter slices an input Triangle Geometry, producing an Edge Geometry. The user can control the direction along which the slicing occurs, the range over which to slice (either the entire range of the geoemtry or a specified subregion), and the spacing bewteen slices. The total area and perimieter of each slice is also computed and stored as an attribute on each created slice.

Additionally, if the input Triangle Geometry is labeled with an identifier array (such as different regions or features), the user may select this array and the resulting edges will inherit these identifiers.

Parameters

Name Type Description
Slice Direction (ijk) float (3x) Direction on which to slice the Triangle Geometry
Slice Range Enumeration Type of slice range to use, either Full Range or User Defined Range
Slice Spacing float Spacing between slices
Have Region Ids bool Whether to supply an id array that propagates to the created edges

Required Geometry

Triangle

Required Objects

Kind Default Name Type Component Dimensions Description
Data Container None N/A N/A Data Container that contains the Triangle Geometry to be sliced
Triangle Attribute Array None int32_t (1) Optional identifier array, if Have Region Ids is selected

Created Objects

Kind Default Name Type Component Dimensions Description
Data Container SliceDataContainer N/A N/A Data Container for the resulting Edge Geoemtry
Attribute Matrix EdgeData Edge N/A Attribute Matrix to store information about the created edges
Edge Attribute Array SliceIds int32_t (1) Identifies the slice to which each edge belongs
Edge Attribute Array RegionIds int32_t (1) Identifies the region from which each edge came from in the original Triangle Geoemtry, if Have Region Ids is selected
Attribute Matrix SliceData Edge Feature N/A Attribute Matrix to store information about the created edges
Feature Attribute Array SliceAreas Feature (1) The total area (i.e., summed area of each enclosed polygon) of a given slice
Feature Attribute Array SlicePerimeters Feature (1) The total perimeter (i.e., summed edge length) of a given slice
