# Project to a Plane
# ==================

# `pyvista.PolyData` surfaces and pointsets can easily be projected to a
# plane defined by a normal and origin using
# `project_points_to_plane()`.
import pyvista as pv
from pyvista import examples

poly = examples.load_random_hills()
poly.plot()

# Project that surface to a plane underneath the surface
origin = list(poly.center)
origin[-1] -= poly.length / 3.0
projected = poly.project_points_to_plane(origin=origin)

# Display the results
pl = pv.Plotter()
pl.add_mesh(poly)
pl.add_mesh(projected)
pl.show()
