pyvista.DataObjectFilters.reflect

DataObjectFilters.reflect(

normal: VectorLike[float],

point: VectorLike[float] | None = None,

inplace: bool = False,

transform_all_input_vectors: bool = False,

progress_bar: bool = False,

) → _MeshType_co

Reflect a dataset across a plane.

Parameters:

normalarray_like[float]

Normal direction for reflection.

pointarray_like[float]

Point which, along with normal, defines the reflection plane. If not specified, this is the origin.

inplacebool, default: False

When True, modifies the dataset inplace.

transform_all_input_vectorsbool, default: False

When True, all input vectors are transformed. Otherwise, only the points, normals and active vectors are transformed.

progress_barbool, default: False

Display a progress bar to indicate progress.

Returns:

DataSet | MultiBlock

Reflected dataset. Return type matches input.
