Examples

Download Python source code | Download Jupyter notebook

Create an actor and add a texture to it. Note how the pyvista.PolyData has texture coordinates by default.

>>> import pyvista as pv
>>> from pyvista import examples
>>> plane = pv.Plane()
>>> plane.active_texture_coordinates is not None
True
>>> pl = pv.Plotter()
>>> actor = pl.add_mesh(plane)
>>> actor.texture = examples.download_masonry_texture()
>>> actor.texture
