Examples

Create the default axes marker.

>>> import pyvista as pv
>>> marker = pv.create_axes_marker()
>>> pl = pv.Plotter()
>>> _ = pl.add_actor(marker)
>>> pl.show()

Static Scene

Interactive Scene

Create an axes marker at the origin with custom colors and axis labels.

>>> import pyvista as pv
>>> marker = pv.create_axes_marker(
...     line_width=4,
...     ambient=0.0,
...     x_color="#378df0",
...     y_color="#ab2e5d",
