Download Python source code | Download Jupyter notebook

Create a plotter and remove all lights after initialization. Note how the mesh rendered is completely flat

>>> import pyvista as pv
>>> pl = pv.Plotter()
>>> pl.remove_all_lights()
>>> pl.renderer.lights
[]
>>> _ = pl.add_mesh(pv.Sphere(), show_edges=True)
>>> pl.show()

Note how this differs from a plot with default lighting

>>> pv.Sphere().plot(show_edges=True, lighting=True)
