pyvista.Plotter.add_mesh_slice_orthogonal

Plotter.add_mesh_slice_orthogonal(mesh, generate_triangles=False, widget_color=None, tubing=False, interaction_event=45, **kwargs)

Slice a mesh with three interactive planes.

Adds three interactive plane slicing widgets for orthogonal slicing along each cartesian axis.

Parameters:

meshpyvista.DataSet or vtk.vtkAlgorithm

The input dataset to add to the scene and threshold or algorithm that produces said mesh.

generate_trianglesbool, optional

If this is enabled (False by default), the output will be triangles otherwise, the output will be the intersection polygons.

widget_colorColorLike, optional

Color of the widget. Either a string, RGB sequence, or hex color string. For example:

• color='white'

• color='w'

• color=[1.0, 1.0, 1.0]

• color='#FFFFFF'

tubingbool, optional

When using an implicit plane wiget, this controls whether or not tubing is shown around the plane’s boundaries.

interaction_eventvtk.vtkCommand.EventIds, optional

The VTK interaction event to use for triggering the callback.

**kwargsdict, optional

All additional keyword arguments are passed to Plotter.add_mesh() to control how the mesh is displayed.

Returns:

list

List of vtk.vtkActor(s).

Examples

Shows an interactive plane sliced along each cartesian axis of the mesh.

>>> import pyvista as pv
>>> pl = pv.Plotter()
>>> mesh = pv.Wavelet()
>>> _ = pl.add_mesh(mesh.outline())
>>> _ = pl.add_mesh_slice_orthogonal(mesh)
>>> pl.show()
