DataObjectFilters.rotate_y#

DataObjectFilters.rotate_y( angle: float, *, point: VectorLikeFloat | None = None, transform_all_input_vectors: bool = False, inplace: bool = False, ) → _MeshType_co[source]#

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.
pointVectorLikeFloat, 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.

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()
