Notes

This property does not validate that the mesh’s faces are all actually the same size. If they’re not, this property may either raise a ValueError or silently return an incorrect array.

Examples

Get the face array of a tetrahedron as a 4x3 array

>>> import pyvista as pv
>>> tetra = pv.Tetrahedron()
>>> tetra.regular_faces
array([[0, 1, 2],
       [1, 3, 2],
       [0, 2, 3],
       [0, 3, 1]])
