a PyVista plotter drawing a 3D scene, its camera set by the plotting convention

Syntax

p = pyvistaPlotter(gcs())

The scene of the current figure.

p.show()

In an interactive window, as show3d().

p = pyvistaPlotter(gcs(), off_screen=True, window_size=(400, 300))

Offscreen, of a size.

p = pyvistaPlotter(gcs(), plotter=q)

Into a plotter of your own.

Description

A scene3d holds what plot draws of a volume, grains in 3D and maps in planes of space as NumPy arrays: meshes, voxel slices, pictures, lines and points. This draws its items into a pyvista.Plotter, unlit, with their colours and opacities, and sets a parallel projection looking from where the plotting convention says, so that PyVista’s view matches the figure. show3d opens it interactively, renderImage takes its picture, exportHTML writes the scene as a three.js page instead. PyVista is the plot3d extra.

Input

scene scene3d, as gcs() gives it for the current figure

Keywords

keyword default description
off_screen False render without a window
window_size (800, 800) the size of the window in pixels, (width, height)
plotter None pyvista.Plotter to draw into instead of a new one

Output

p pyvista.Plotter
