filenamestr

Examples

Output a simple point cloud represented as balls.

>>> import numpy as np
>>> import pyvista
>>> point_cloud = np.random.random((100, 3))
>>> pdata = pyvista.PolyData(point_cloud)
>>> pdata['orig_sphere'] = np.arange(100)
>>> sphere = pyvista.Sphere(radius=0.02)
>>> pc = pdata.glyph(scale=False, geom=sphere)
>>> pl = pyvista.Plotter()
>>> _ = pl.add_mesh(pc, cmap='reds', smooth_shading=True,
...                 show_scalar_bar=False)
>>> pl.export_gltf('balls.gltf')  
>>> pl.show()

Output the orientation plotter.

>>> from pyvista import demos
>>> pl = demos.orientation_plotter()
>>> pl.export_gltf('orientation_plotter.gltf')  
>>> pl.show()
