pyefd for 3D points

[dalbenzioG]

Hi!

I wondered if I could use pyefd for generating the contour from 3D data points, where x, y, and z are the coordinates of a generic point. Do you have any suggestions?

I really appreciate any help you can provide!

No, PyEFD is based on a strictly 2D algorithm. For 3D, you are touching on CAD or surface scanning and much more complicated matters.

One could possibly do one of following solutions:

• some kind of flood fill-similar solution
• starting with a bounding box and gradually shrinking it
• starting at the center of the object and gradually expanding

I do not know if they work and they are most likely very inefficient and slow algorithms.

But it is not PyEFD you are looking for, sorry.
