get_icosahedral_mesh_vertices

diffsims.generators.sphere_mesh_generators.get_icosahedral_mesh_vertices(resolution)

Return the (x, y, z) coordinates of the vertices of an icosahedral mesh of a cube, see [Cajaravelli2015]. Method was adapted from meshzoo [Meshzoo].

Parameters:

resolution (float) – The maximum angle in degrees between neighboring grid points. Since the mesh is generated iteratively, the actual maximum angle in the mesh can be slightly smaller.

Returns:

points_in_cartesian – Rows are x, y, z where z is the 001 pole direction

Return type:

numpy.ndarray (N,3)
