faces

A quick way to generate an image with 2 opposing faces set to True, which is used throughout PoreSpy to indicate inlets and outlets

import inspect

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

import porespy as ps

shape

This would be the same shape as the actual image under study. Let’s say we have an image of blobs:

im = ps.generators.blobs(shape=[10, 10, 10])
faces = ps.generators.faces(shape=im.shape, inlet=0, outlet=0)

ax = plt.figure().add_subplot(projection="3d")
ax.voxels(faces, edgecolor="k", linewidth=0.25);

inlet and outlet

These indicate which axis the True values should be placed, with inlets placed at the start of the axis, and outlets placed at the end:

faces = ps.generators.faces(shape=im.shape, inlet=2, outlet=0)

ax = plt.figure().add_subplot(projection="3d")
ax.voxels(faces, edgecolor="k", linewidth=0.25);
