get_element_labels

DrapingData.get_element_labels(visible=None, selected=None)​

Get element labels (element numbers as read from / written to mesh files) of plot.

  • Parameters:
    • visible: Object(s) defining visible scope
    • selected: Selected object(s) for ply-wise evaluations.
  • Returns: Resulting array with element labels from the intersection of
    • data_scope of plot
    • visible_scope defined by visible
    • selection_scope defined by selected

Labels are returned independent of update status of plot, but only if results for the current plot configuration are available, else an empty array is returned.

Examples: : Get element labels for current plot with visible scope set to element set “All_Elements” and with ply1 and ply2 selected:


>>> eis = my_plot.get_element_labels(visible=db.active_model.element_sets['All_Elements'], selected=[ply1, ply2])

Get element labels for current plot with visible scope equal to all objects visible in current scene:: : ```pycon

eis = my_plot.get_element_labels(visible=db.active_model.active_scene.active_set.entities)
