3D grid savig methods using struct.pack

 

Python version for ints

def save2grid(filename,volume,dimx,dimy,dimz):

  with open(filename, "wb") as file:
    for i in range(dimx):
      for j in range(dimy):
        for k in range(dimz):
          f = (volume[i][j][k]*255).astype(np.uint8) #numpy.uint8
          #print(type(f))
          b = struct.pack('B', f)  #was f
          file.write(b)
          
def save2gridfast(filename,volume,dimx,dimy,dimz):
  flat=volume.reshape((dimx*dimy*dimz))
  flat=(flat*255).astype(np.uint8)
  with open(filename, "wb") as file:
       b = struct.pack('%sB' % len(flat), *flat)
       file.write(b) 

Python version for floats

def save2grid(filename,volume,dimx,dimy,dimz):

  with open(filename, "wb") as file:
    for i in range(dimx):
      for j in range(dimy):
        for k in range(dimz):
          f = volume[i][j][k] #[3.14, 2.7, 0.0, -1.0, 1.1]
          b = struct.pack('f', f)
          file.write(b)
def save2grid2(filename,volume,dimx,dimy,dimz):
  flat=volume.reshape((dimx*dimy*dimz))
  with open(filename, "wb") as file:
    for i in range(dimx*dimy*dimz):
       f = flat[i]
       b = struct.pack('f', f)
       file.write(b)
def save2grid3(filename,volume,dimx,dimy,dimz):
  flat=volume.reshape((dimx*dimy*dimz))
  with open(filename, "wb") as file:
       b = struct.pack('%sf' % len(flat), *flat)
       #b = struct.pack('f', f)
       file.write(b)
