pyvista.DataObjectFilters.rotate_y

DataObjectFilters.rotate_y(

angle: float,

point: VectorLike[float] | None = None,

transform_all_input_vectors: bool = False,

inplace: bool = False,

) → _MeshType_co

Rotate mesh about the y-axis.

Note

See also the notes at transform() which is used by this filter under the hood.

Parameters:

anglefloat

Angle in degrees to rotate about the y-axis.

pointVectorLike[float], optional

Point to rotate about.

transform_all_input_vectorsbool, default: False

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

inplacebool, default: False

Updates mesh in-place.

Returns:

outputDataSet | MultiBlock

Rotated dataset. Return type matches input.

pyvista.Transform.rotate_y

Concatenate a rotation about the y-axis with a transformation.

Examples

Rotate a cube 30 degrees about the y-axis.

>>> import pyvista as pv
>>> mesh = pv.Cube()
>>> rot = mesh.rotate_y(30, inplace=False)

Plot the rotated mesh.

>>> pl = pv.Plotter()
>>> _ = pl.add_mesh(rot)
>>> _ = pl.add_mesh(mesh, style='wireframe', line_width=3)
>>> _ = pl.add_axes_at_origin()
>>> pl.show()
