Description
compute the pointwise minimum distance of the input surface from a reference surface
Input arguments
| Argument | Variable | Type | Length | Range | Default | Description |
| id | Id | str | 1 | | 0 | script id |
| handle | Self | self | 1 | | | handle to self |
| disabled | Disabled | bool | 1 | | 0 | disable execution and piping |
| i | Surface | vtkPolyData | 1 | | | the input surface |
| ifile | SurfaceInputFileName | str | 1 | | | filename for the default Surface reader |
| r | ReferenceSurface | vtkPolyData | 1 | | | the reference surface |
| rfile | ReferenceSurfaceInputFileName | str | 1 | | | filename for the default ReferenceSurface reader |
| distancearray | DistanceArrayName | str | 1 | | | name of the array where the distance of the input surface to the reference surface has to be stored |
| distancevectorsarray | DistanceVectorsArrayName | str | 1 | | | name of the array where the distance vectors of the input surface to the reference surface has to be stored |
| signeddistancearray | SignedDistanceArrayName | str | 1 | | | name of the array where the signed distance of the input surface to the reference surface is stored; distance is positive if distance vector and normal to the reference surface have negative dot product, i.e. if the input surface is outer with respect to the reference surface |
| flipnormals | FlipNormals | bool | 1 | | 0 | flip normals to the reference surface after computing them |
| ofile | SurfaceOutputFileName | str | 1 | | | filename for the default Surface writer |
Output arguments
| Argument | Variable | Type | Length | Range | Default | Description |
| id | Id | str | 1 | | 0 | script id |
| handle | Self | self | 1 | | | handle to self |
| o | Surface | vtkPolyData | 1 | | | the output surface |
