distance to shape

distance to shape receives any 3D field into its input port and outputs the same field with an additional data component. Using plume_shell, you can cut structures with either a cylinder or rotated rectangle. The cutting action is z invariant (like a cookie cutter). Depending on the resolution of the input field, rectangles may not have sharp corners. With rectilinear fields (and non-rotated rectangles), the threshold module can replace plume_shell to produce sharp corners (by removing whole cells). plume can be used to output 3D fields for additional filtering or mapping.

Module Input Ports

• Input Field [Field] Accepts a data field.

Module Output Ports

• Output Field [Field] Outputs the field with data to allow subsetting.
