Hi there! I wanted to know if it’s possibly to control the number (density actually) of points in a Mesh3D.
I developed a Dash App to draw an specific crystallographic structure (made of Tetrahedra) and the user it’s able to add elements to it.
The thing is that I want to improve performance because it takes a while to render the plot with all the thing that have in it, and that affects the dynamic of the app a little bit.
So, does anyone know if it’s possible to have less points in a Mesh3D in order to achieve a faster renderization?
Plottiing only boundary faces reduces drastically the number of points. Here is such a solution given as answer to a similar question: https://chart-studio.plotly.com/~empet/15549
@empet thank you for the quick answer! So, what you mean is that in order to have less point (ans thus have a faster renderization) what I should do is use Scatter3D with the option to color the surface. Did I get it right?
No, What I suggest is not to plot the entire structure, but only its boundary that is seen by a user. The Scatter3d was added as an auxilliary trace, to point out the vertices of the boundary faces.
