VMTKMESHTONUMPY(1)

✨ NAME ✨

vmtkmeshtonumpy — the vmtk script vmtkmeshtonumpy, bestie, that's it, that's the name 💅

(also hiii, this is the VMTKMESHTONUMPY(1) page, filed under User Commands, so you found the right one 🫶)

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so picture this: automatic piping for vmtkMeshToNumpy. Also it's parsing options for vmtkMeshToNumpy. That's the assignment. Periodt.

vmtkMeshToNumpy : it takes a VMTK mesh (VTK Unstructured Grid) object, and the payload on the other end is a

nested python dictionary containing numpyarrays specifying Points, PointData, Cells, CellData, and CellPointIds describing connectivity

like... connectivity explained, but make it numpy 💖

📥 Input arguments

• -id Id (str,1); default=0 — the script id, no cap
• -handle Self (self,1) — handle to self
• -disabled Disabled (bool,1); default=0 — disable execution and piping
• -i Mesh (vtkUnstructuredGrid,1) — the input mesh, the main character 🌟
• -ifile MeshInputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default Mesh reader
• -typestrings ReturnCellTypesAsStrings (bool,1); default=1 — return a mapping of the vtk cell type class names to the cell type object IDs
• -structure StructureCellsAsList — enable to return a list of numpy arrays where each element is an individual cell.

⚠️ Note: This is a computationally intensive operation which may fill memory, and which will drastically increase disk space used if data is saved. Not recommended for large data sets.

like bestie I am BEGGING you, heed the warning on that one 💀

• -ofile ArrayDictOutputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default ArrayDict writer

📤 Output arguments

• -id Id (str,1); default=0 — the script id (yes it's back, it contains multitudes 🙈)
• -handle Self (self,1) — handle to self
• -o ArrayDict (dict,1) — the output dictionary, aka the whole point 🌈

and that's the page, bestie! this one is vmtkmeshtonumpy 1.5, and it's dated April 2026 — go off, icon, you ate 🎀✨🦋
