ImageMesh
Generated mesh with the aspect ratio of a given image stack.
Description
The ImageMesh
object is a convenience tool for setting up a mesh to match the pixel structure of a two or three dimensional image. It is generally used in union with the ImageFunction object to perform simulations that rely on image data, such as setting up an initial condition of a grain structure. By default the generated mesh is sized to the dimensions of the images and creates one element per pixel.
Example Syntax

type = ImageMesh
dim = 3
file_base = stack/test
file_suffix = png

- up_directionSpecify what axis corresponds to the up direction in physical space (the opposite of the gravity vector if you will).

If you want finer grained control than this, please use the 'alpha_rotation', 'beta_rotation', and 'gamma_rotation' parameters.
