Using The Class

A quick example that creates a 10x10x10 voxel .df3 file and initializes all values to 10. Start python and do the following with df3.py in either your path or the current directory:

import df3

mydf3 = df3.df3(10,10,10)
for x in range(mydf3.sizeX()):
    for y in range(mydf3.sizeY()):
        for z in range(mydf3.sizeZ()):
            mydf3.set(x, y, z, 10) 

mydf3.exportDF3('out.df3')

Typing 'help(df3)' at the python prompt will give class information after df3 has been imported
