Change the position of an actor. Note how this does not change the position of the underlying dataset, just the relative location of the actor in the pyvista.Plotter.

>>> import pyvista as pv
>>> mesh = pv.Sphere()
>>> pl = pv.Plotter()
>>> _ = pl.add_mesh(mesh, color='b')
>>> actor = pl.add_mesh(mesh, color='r')
>>> actor.position = (0, 0, 1)  # shifts the red sphere up
>>> pl.show()
