data display

[kgarr]

is it easy to get the data from a outside source, like the 50x50 CSV file attached.

If this isn't easy, then I don't know what is

import csv
height = [ [float(val) for val in row] for row in csv.reader(file('data.txt','rUb')) ]

Thanks Again!

Is it easy to map the color to the height of the surface, like in the picture above.

For example, the highest points have an RGB value of 1 0 0 and the lowest points have a value of 0 0 0, any height between has a value between those.

here are some examples of the cylinder







the radius comes from a 2D matrix, one dimension being the points around the cylinder, the other being the points along the cylinder.

Hi,

I've attached a new version of the test script that generates colors based on the height.
