EnclosingSimplexAlgorithm

class EnclosingSimplexAlgorithm(*args)

Point location algorithm.

Base class to define an algorithm to find simplices containing a list of points.

Available constructors:

EnclosingSimplexAlgorithm(vertices, simplices)

Parameters
verticesSample

Vertices.

simplicesIndicesCollection

Simplices.

Notes

Two algorithms can be selected in any dimension:

Two algorithms are specific to 1D meshes, and much more efficient:

It is recommended to use derived classes in order to select the best algorithm according to your data. If you create a generic EnclosingSimplexAlgorithm, here is how the derived class is selected:

Examples

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> mesher = ot.IntervalMesher([5, 10])
>>> lowerbound = [0.0, 0.0]
>>> upperBound = [2.0, 4.0]
>>> interval = ot.Interval(lowerbound, upperBound)
>>> mesh = mesher.build(interval)
>>> locator = ot.EnclosingSimplexAlgorithm(mesh.getVertices(), mesh.getSimplices())
>>> simplex = locator.query([0.1, 0.2])

Methods

getClassName()

Accessor to the object's name.

getId()

Accessor to the object's id.

getImplementation()

Accessor to the underlying implementation.

getName()

Accessor to the object's name.

query(*args)

Get the index of the enclosing simplex of the given point.

setName(name)

Accessor to the object's name.

setVerticesAndSimplices(vertices, simplices)

Rebuild a new data structure for these vertices and simplices.

getSimplices

getVertices

__init__(*args)
getClassName()

Accessor to the object’s name.

Returns
class_namestr

The object class name (object.__class__.__name__).

getId()

Accessor to the object’s id.

Returns
idint

Internal unique identifier.

getImplementation()

Accessor to the underlying implementation.

Returns
implImplementation

A copy of the underlying implementation object.

getName()

Accessor to the object’s name.

Returns

query(*args)

Get the index of the enclosing simplex of the given point.

Available usages:

query(point)

query(sample)

Parameters
pointsequence of float

Given point.

sample2-d sequence of float

Given points.

Returns
indexint

If point is enclosed in a simplex, return its index; otherwise return an int which is at least greater than the number of simplices.

indicesIndices
