Detailed Description

A general filter for gradient estimation.

This filter estimates the gradient of a field in a data set. The gradient calculation is dependent on the input dataset type. The created gradient array is of the same type as the array it is calculated from (e.g. point data or cell data) but the data type will be either float or double. At the boundary the gradient does not use central differencing. The output gradient array has 3*number of components of the input data array. The ordering for the output gradient tuple will be {du/dx, du/dy, du/dz, dv/dx, dv/dy, dv/dz, dw/dx, dw/dy, dw/dz} for an input array {u, v, w}. There are also the options to additionally compute the vorticity and Q criterion of a vector field. Unstructured grids and polydata can have cells of different dimensions. To handle different use cases in this situation, the user can specify which cells contribute to the computation. The options for this are All (default), Patch and DataSetMax. Patch uses only the highest dimension cells attached to a point. DataSetMax uses the highest cell dimension in the entire data set. For Patch or DataSetMax it is possible that some values will not be computed. The ReplacementValueOption specifies what to use for these values.
