pyvista.Prop3D

class Prop3D

Prop3D wrapper for vtkProp3D.

Used to represent an entity in a rendering scene. It provides spatial properties and methods relating to an entity’s position, orientation and scale. It is used as parent class for pyvista.Actor, pyvista.AxesActor, and pyvista.plotting.volume.Volume.

Prop3D applies transformations in the following order:

1. Translate entity to its origin.

2. Scale entity by the values in scale.

3. Rotate entity using the values in orientation. Internally, rotations are applied in the order rotate_y(), then rotate_x(), then rotate_z().

4. Translate entity away from its origin and to its position.

5. Transform entity with user_matrix.

Methods

Prop3D.rotate_x(angle)	Rotate the entity about the x-axis.
Prop3D.rotate_y(angle)	Rotate the entity about the y-axis.
Prop3D.rotate_z(angle)	Rotate the entity about the z-axis.
Prop3D.rotation_from(rotation)	Set the entity's orientation from a rotation.

Attributes

Prop3D.bounds	Return the bounds of the entity.
Prop3D.center	Return the center of the entity.
Prop3D.length	Return the length of the entity.
Prop3D.orientation	Return or set the entity orientation angles.
Prop3D.origin	Return or set the entity origin.
Prop3D.position	Return or set the entity position.
Prop3D.scale	Return or set entity scale.
Prop3D.user_matrix	Return or set the user matrix.
