vtkStructuredGrid is a data object that is a concrete implementation of vtkDataSet. vtkStructuredGrid represents a geometric structure that is a topologically regular array of points. The topology is that of a cube that has been subdivided into a regular array of smaller cubes. Each point/cell can be addressed with i-j-k indices. Examples include finite difference grids.
The order and number of points must match that specified by the dimensions of the grid. The point order increases in i fastest (from 0<=i<dims[0]), then j (0<=j<dims[1]), then k (0<=k<dims[2]) where dims[] are the dimensions of the grid in the i-j-k topological directions. The number of points is dims[0]*dims[1]*dims[2]. The same is true for the cells of the grid. The order and number of cells must match that specified by the dimensions of the grid. The cell order increases in i fastest (from 0<=i<(dims[0]-1)), then j (0<=j<(dims[1]-1)), then k (0<=k<(dims[2]-1)) The number of cells is (dims[0]-1)*(dims[1]-1)*(dims[2]-1).
A unusual feature of vtkStructuredGrid is the ability to blank, or "turn-off" points and cells in the dataset. This is controlled by defining a "blanking array" whose values (0,1) specify whether a point should be blanked or not.
To create an instance of class vtkStructuredGrid, simply invoke its constructor as follows
obj = vtkStructuredGrid
The class vtkStructuredGrid has several methods that can be used. They are listed below. Note that the documentation is translated automatically from the VTK sources, and may not be completely intelligible. When in doubt, consult the VTK website. In the methods listed below, obj
is an instance of the vtkStructuredGrid class.

- following methods are specific to structured grid int = obj.GetDimensions ()
- Get dimensions of this structured points dataset. obj.GetDimensions (int dim[3])
- Get dimensions of this structured points dataset. int = obj.GetDataDimension ()
- Return the dimensionality of the data. obj.SetExtent (int extent[6])
- Different ways to set the extent of the data array. The extent should be set before the "Scalars" are set or allocated. The Extent is stored in the order (X, Y, Z). obj.SetExtent (int x1, int x2, int y1, int y2, int z1, int z2)
- Different ways to set the extent of the data array. The extent should be set before the "Scalars" are set or allocated. The Extent is stored in the order (X, Y, Z). int = obj. GetExtent ()
- Different ways to set the extent of the data array. The extent should be set before the "Scalars" are set or allocated. The Extent is stored in the order (X, Y, Z). long = obj.GetActualMemorySize ()
- Return the actual size of the data in kilobytes. This number is valid only after the pipeline has updated. The memory size returned is guaranteed to be greater than or equal to the memory required to represent the data (e.g., extra space in arrays, etc. are not included in the return value). THIS METHOD IS THREAD SAFE. obj.ShallowCopy (vtkDataObject src)
- Shallow and Deep copy. obj.DeepCopy (vtkDataObject src)
- Shallow and Deep copy. int = obj.GetExtentType ()

- Set an array that defines the (blanking) visibility of the cells in the grid. Make sure that length of the visibility array matches the number of points in the grid. char = obj.IsPointVisible (vtkIdType ptId)

- Returns 1 if there is any visibility constraint on the cells, 0 otherwise. obj.Crop ()
- Reallocates and copies to set the Extent to the UpdateExtent. This is used internally when the exact extent is requested, and the source generated more than the update extent. obj.GetPoint (int i, int j, int k, double p[3], bool adjustForExtenttrue)
- Get a point in the grid. If adjustForExtent is true, (i,j,k) is interpreted as a position relative to the beginning of the extent. If adjustForExtent is false, (i,j,k) is interpreted literally and the (i,j,k) point of the grid is returned regardless of the extent beginning. The point coordinate is returned in 'p'. The default adjustForExtent is true.
