pyvista.Arrow#

Arrow( start=(0.0, 0.0, 0.0), direction=(1.0, 0.0, 0.0), tip_length=0.25, tip_radius=0.1, tip_resolution=20, shaft_radius=0.05, shaft_resolution=20, scale=None, )[source]#

Create an arrow.

Parameters:

startsequence[float], default: (0.0, 0.0, 0.0): Start location in [x, y, z].
directionsequence[float], default: (1.0, 0.0, 0.0): Direction the arrow points to in [x, y, z].
tip_lengthfloat, default: 0.25: Length of the tip.
tip_radiusfloat, default: 0.1: Radius of the tip.
tip_resolutionint, default: 20: Number of faces around the tip.
shaft_radiusfloat, default: 0.05: Radius of the shaft.
shaft_resolutionint, default: 20: Number of faces around the shaft.
scalefloat | str, optional: Scale factor of the entire object, defaults to a scale of 1. 'auto' scales to length of direction array.

Returns:

pyvista.PolyData: Arrow mesh.

Examples
