Hi there,

I’m attempting to get better understandings for programmable filters, but have yet to find information fo this type `paraview.vtk.numpy_interface.dataset_adapter.UnstructuredGrid`. Where can I find the source code to inspect to learn more about this?

Sorry this seems like a question that searching should have just taken care of, but I’m really not find very many clues even as I look through the gitlab for paraview. [https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview)

I also found this, [vtk.numpy\_interface.dataset\_adapter — BrainSpace 0.1.4 documentation](https://brainspace.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_modules/vtk/numpy_interface/dataset_adapter.html) , but I don’t know if it’s for 5.11 paraview.

I’ve also tried locating things on my installation by importing and running `module. __file__ ` which would get me the location on my system, but I’d love to know if I wanted to read online where I can find that material.

EDIT

oh wait I’m probably assuming that paraview holds the source for this file and it’s VTK’s source instead. Let me call off the hunt!
