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)

Create an arrow.

Parameters:

startiterable, default: (0.0, 0.0, 0.0)

Start location in [x, y, z].

directioniterable, 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 or 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.
