MicPy 0.4.2 Changelog

This minor release improves VTK and ParaView integration for MICRESS field data.

Expanded VTK data representation options

  • Replaced the previous point_data option in Field.as_vti() with the new data_mode parameter.
  • "cell" stores the original values as VTK CellData.
  • "point_average" converts cell values to PointData by averaging adjacent cells.
  • "point_direct" stores each field value directly as a VTK point value without averaging.
  • The previous point_data parameter remains available for backward compatibility but is now deprecated.

Improved ParaView reader

  • Added all three data modes to the MICRESS ParaView reader.
  • Users can select between CellData, averaged PointData, and direct PointData.
  • VTK array names are derived from the MICRESS file extension, making fields easier to identify in ParaView and PyVista.
