`taichi.types`#

This module defines data types in Taichi:

primitive: int, float, etc.
compound: matrix, vector, struct.
template: for reference types.
ndarray: for arbitrary arrays.
quant: for quantized types, see “https://yuanming.taichi.graphics/publication/2021-quantaichi/quantaichi.pdf”

taichi.types.f16#: Alias for float16

taichi.types.f32#: Alias for float32

taichi.types.f64#: Alias for float64

taichi.types.matrix(n, m, dtype)#

Creates a matrix type with given shape and data type.

Parameters:

n (int) – number of rows of the matrix.
m (int) – number of columns of the matrix.
dtype (primitive_types) – matrix data type.

Returns:

A matrix type.

Example:

>>> mat2x2 = ti.types.matrix(2, 2, ti.f32)  # 2x2 matrix type
>>> M = mat2x2([[1., 2.], [3., 4.]])  # an instance of this type

taichi.types.ndarray#

Alias for NdarrayType.

Example:

>>> @ti.kernel
>>> def to_numpy(x: ti.types.ndarray(), y: ti.types.ndarray()):
>>>     for i in range(n):
>>>         x[i] = y[i]
>>>
>>> y = ti.ndarray(ti.f64, shape=n)
>>> ... # calculate y
>>> x = numpy.zeros(n)
>>> to_numpy(x, y)  # `x` will be filled with `y`'s data.

taichi.types.ref(tp)#

taichi.types.rw_texture#: Alias for TextureType.

class taichi.types.sparse_matrix_builder#

taichi.types.struct(**kwargs)#

Creates a struct type with given members.

Parameters:: kwargs (dict) – a dictionary contains the names and types of the struct members.
Returns:: A struct type.

Example:

>>> vec3 = ti.types.vector(3, ti.f32)
>>> sphere = ti.types.struct(center=vec3, radius=float)
>>> s = sphere(center=vec3([0., 0., 0.]), radius=1.0)

taichi.types.vector(n, dtype)#

Creates a vector type with given shape and data type.

Parameters:

n (int) – dimension of the vector.
dtype (primitive_types) – vector data type.

Returns:

A vector type.

Example:

>>> vec3 = ti.types.vector(3, ti.f32)  # 3d vector type
>>> v = vec3([1., 2., 3.])  # an instance of this type
