gemgis.visualization.create_mesh_from_cross_section(linestring: shapely.geometry.linestring.LineString, zmax: Union[float, int], zmin: Union[float, int]) → pyvista.core.pointset.PolyData#

Creating a PyVista Mesh from one cross section

Parameters

  • linestring (shapely.geometry.linestring.LineString) – LineString representing the trace of the cross section on a geological map, e.g. linestring = LineString([(0, 0), (10, 10), (20, 20)])

  • zmax (Union[float, int]) – Upper vertical extent of the cross section, e.g. zmax=1000

  • zmin (Union[float, int]) – Lower vertical extent of the cross section, e.g. zmin=0

Returns

surface – Mesh defining the cross section in space

Return type

pyvista.core.pointset.PolyData

New in version 1.0.x.

Example

>>> # Loading Libraries and creating LineString
>>> import gemgis as gg
>>> from shapely.geometry import LineString
>>> linestring = LineString([(0, 0), (10, 10), (20, 20)])
>>> linestring.wkt
'LINESTRING (0 0, 10 10, 20 20)'

>>> # Creating PolyData from LineStrings
>>> polydata = gg.visualization.create_mesh_from_cross_section(linestring=linestring, zmax=1000, zmin=0)
>>> polydata
