Property.point_shape

property Property.point_shape: str

Return or set the shape of flat point primitives.

Shapes are 'square', 'circle', 'triangle', 'hexagon', 'diamond', 'asterisk', and 'star'. The shape applies to vertex cells in surface and wireframe representations as well as points representation. Sphere rendering takes precedence while enabled.

Added in version 0.49.

Note

Setting this property requires a graphics backend with native point-shape support. pyvista.Actor.set_point_sprite_shape() also supports older backends in points representation.
