pyvista.Plotter.theme

property Plotter.theme: Theme

Return or set the theme used for this plotter.

Deprecated since version 0.47: Assigning the theme attribute to a plotter object does not affect global appearance settings such as background, which are set at instantiation. To this respect, you need to set the theme such that:

import pyvista as pv

pl = pv.Plotter()
pl.theme = theme
# change above lines to
pl = pv.Plotter(theme=theme)

However, actor appearance settings such as edge_color for example are correctly taken into account.

Returns:

pyvista.Theme

Theme of this plotter.

Examples

Use the dark theme for a plotter.

>>> import pyvista as pv
>>> from pyvista import themes
>>> pl = pv.Plotter()
>>> pl.theme = themes.DarkTheme()
>>> actor = pl.add_mesh(pv.Sphere())
>>> pl.show()
