pyvista.PolyDataFilters.project_points_to_plane#
- PolyDataFilters.project_points_to_plane(origin=None, normal=(0.0, 0.0, 1.0), inplace=False)[source]#
Project points of this mesh to a plane.
- Parameters:
- originsequence[
float],optional Plane origin. Defaults to the approximate center of the input mesh minus half the length of the input mesh in the direction of the normal.
- normalsequence[
float], default: (0.0, 0.0, 1.0) Plane normal. Defaults to +Z.
- inplacebool, default:
False Whether to overwrite the original mesh with the projected points.
- originsequence[
- Returns:
pyvista.PolyDataThe points of this mesh projected onto a plane.
Examples
Flatten a sphere to the XY plane.
>>> import pyvista as pv >>> sphere = pv.Sphere() >>> projected = sphere.project_points_to_plane() >>> projected.plot(show_edges=True, line_width=3)
