pyvista.Plotter.picked_cell

property Plotter.picked_cell: None | UnstructuredGrid | MultiBlock

Return the cell-picked object.

This returns the object containing cells that were interactively picked with enable_cell_picking, enable_rectangle_through_picking or enable_rectangle_visible_picking.

Its value depends on the picking result:

• if no cells have been picked, returns None

• if all picked cells belong to a single actor, returns an UnstructuredGrid

• if picked cells belong to multiple actors, returns a MultiBlock containing n pyvista.UnstructuredGrids, with n being the number of picked actors.

Note that a cell data original_cell_ids is added to help identifying cell ids picked from the original dataset.

Deprecated since version 0.47: Use the picked_cells attribute instead.

Returns:

None | pyvista.UnstructuredGrid | pyvista.MultiBlock

Picked object if available.
