Rectangle(points: MatrixLike[float] | None = None) → PolyData

Create a rectangle defined by 3 points.

The 3 points must define an orthogonal set of vectors.

Parameters:

pointsarray_like[float], optional

Points of the rectangle. Defaults to a unit square in xy-plane.

Returns:

pyvista.PolyData

Rectangle mesh.
