Cone

Cone(

center: VectorLike[float] = (0.0, 0.0, 0.0),

direction: VectorLike[float] = (1.0, 0.0, 0.0),

height: float = 1.0,

radius: float | None = None,

capping: bool = True,

angle: float | None = None,

resolution: int = 6,

) → PolyData

Create a cone.

Parameters:

centersequence[float], default: (0.0, 0.0, 0.0)

Center in [x, y, z]. Axis of the cone passes through this point.

directionsequence[float], default: (1.0, 0.0, 0.0)

Direction vector in [x, y, z]. Orientation vector of the cone.

heightfloat, default: 1.0

Height along the cone in its specified direction.

radiusfloat, optional

Base radius of the cone.

cappingbool, optional

Enable or disable the capping the base of the cone with a polygon.

anglefloat, optional

The angle in degrees between the axis of the cone and a generatrix.

resolutionint, default: 6

Number of facets used to represent the cone.

Returns:

pyvista.PolyData

Cone mesh.
