In particular it looks like VTK might be able to do what you want.
yes, it can. The way I've seen is to triangulate the surface, then do "decimation" -- remove the triangles that don't add "much" to the detail of the surface. I don't know of a way to do something similar keeping the Cartesian grid -- but you may not need to. Google "python triangle decimation" and VTK comes out on top, but there are some other things there that might be of interest too. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception Chris.Barker@noaa.gov
