navis.mesh¶

navis.mesh(x, **kwargs)[source]¶

Generate mesh from object(s).

VoxelNeurons or (N, 3) arrays of voxel coordinates will be meshed using a marching cubes algorithm. TreeNeurons will be meshed by creating cylinders using the radii.

Parameters:

x (VoxelNeuron | (N, 3) np.array | TreeNeuron) – Object to mesh. See notes above.
**kwargs – Keyword arguments are passed through to the respective converters: navis.conversion.voxels2mesh() and navis.conversion.tree2meshneuron(), respectively.
parallel (bool) – If True and input is NeuronList, use parallel processing. Requires pathos.
n_cores (int, optional) – Numbers of cores to use if parallel=True. Defaults to half the available cores.
progress (bool) – Whether to show a progress bar. Overruled by navis.set_pbars.
omit_failures (bool) – If True will omit failures instead of raising an exception. Ignored if input is single neuron.

Returns:

mesh – Returns a trimesh or MeshNeuron depending on the input. Data tables (e.g. connectors) are not carried over from input neuron.

Return type:

trimesh.Trimesh | MeshNeuron
