Plotter.camera_position#
- property Plotter.camera_position: CameraPosition[source]#
Set or return the camera position of the active render window.
Examples#
Download Python source code | Download Jupyter notebook
Return the camera’s position as a CameraPosition object.
>>> import pyvista as pv
>>> from pyvista import examples
>>> mesh = examples.download_bunny_coarse()
>>> pl = pv.Plotter()
>>> _ = pl.add_mesh(mesh, show_edges=True, reset_camera=True)
>>> cpos = pl.camera_position
Show the camera position. This implicitly calls repr(cpos).
>>> cpos
CameraPosition(position=(0.0243, 0.0336, 0.9446),
focal_point=(0.0243, 0.0336, -0.02225),
viewup=(0.0, 1.0, 0.0))
Create a new CameraPosition object by copy/pasting the repr and
prepending the pyvista module, that is, pv..
>>> new_cpos = pv.CameraPosition(
... position=(0.0243, 0.0336, 0.9446),
... focal_point=(0.0243, 0.0336, -0.02225),
... viewup=(0.0, 1.0, 0.0),
... )
Set the camera_position with this new object.
>>> pl.camera_position = new_cpos
Use print or str to obtain a list representation instead.
>>> print(cpos)
[(0.02430, 0.0336, 0.9446),
(0.02430, 0.0336, -0.02225),
(0.0, 1.0, 0.0)]
Reposition it via a list of tuples.
>>> pl.camera_position = [
... (0.3914, 0.4542, 0.767),
... (0.0243, 0.0336, -0.0222),
... (-0.2148, 0.8998, -0.3796),
... ]
>>> pl.show()
Set the camera position using a string and look at the 'xy' plane.
>>> pl = pv.Plotter()
>>> _ = pl.add_mesh(mesh, show_edges=True)
>>> pl.camera_position = 'xy'
>>> pl.show()
Set the camera position using a string and look at the 'zy' plane.
>>> pl = pv.Plotter()
>>> _ = pl.add_mesh(mesh, show_edges=True)
>>> pl.camera_position = 'zy'
>>> pl.show()
