pyvista.DataSetFilters.slice_orthogonal#

DataSetFilters.slice_orthogonal(x=None, y=None, z=None, generate_triangles=False, contour=False, progress_bar=False)[source]#

Create three orthogonal slices through the dataset on the three cartesian planes.

Yields a MutliBlock dataset of the three slices.

Parameters:
xfloat, optional

The X location of the YZ slice.

yfloat, optional

The Y location of the XZ slice.

zfloat, optional

The Z location of the XY slice.

generate_trianglesbool, default: False

When True, the output will be triangles. Otherwise the output will be the intersection polygons.

contourbool, default: False

If True, apply a contour filter after slicing.

progress_barbool, default: False

Display a progress bar to indicate progress.

Returns:
pyvista.PolyData

Sliced dataset.

Examples

Slice the random hills dataset with three orthogonal planes.

>>> from pyvista import examples
>>> hills = examples.load_random_hills()
>>> slices = hills.slice_orthogonal(contour=False)
>>> slices.plot(line_width=5)
