cell_centers

Synopsis

produce a Point mesh representing geometric centers of each cells

Input Port

in_field

Mesh

Parameters

none.

 

Output Port

out_fld

Mesh

out_obj

output renderable object

Description

cell_centers module produces a mesh containing Point cell set, each point of which represents a geometrical center of a corresponding cell in the input mesh. The coordinates of cell centers are calculated by averaging coordinates of all the nodes of a cell. The number of nodes in the output mesh is equal to number of cells in the input mesh. If the input mesh contains Cell_Data it becomes a Node_Data in the output mesh with each node values equal to corresponding cell value. You can use this module to create a position mesh for the glyph module (see glyph ).

Input

in_field

The input must contain any type of mesh.

Parameters

Output Port

out_fld

The output field contains a new mesh that consists of points representing geometrical centers of a corresponding cells in the input mesh.geoetric centers. It also may contain a Node_Data that corresponds to Cell_Data in the input mesh.

out_obj

This is a renderable version of the output field.
