pyvista.ParametricKuen#

ParametricKuen(deltav0: float | None = None, **kwargs) PolyData[source]#

Generate Kuens’ surface.

ParametricKuen generates Kuens’ surface. This surface has a constant negative Gaussian curvature.

Parameters:
deltav0float, default: 0.05

The value to use when V == 0. This has the best appearance with the default settings. Setting it to a value less than 0.05 extrapolates the surface towards a pole in the -z direction. Setting it to 0 retains the pole whose z-value is -inf.

**kwargsdict, optional

See surface_from_para() for additional keyword arguments.

Returns:
pyvista.PolyData

ParametricKuen surface.

Examples

Create a ParametricKuen mesh.

>>> import pyvista as pv
>>> mesh = pv.ParametricKuen()
>>> mesh.plot(color='w', smooth_shading=True)
