Tetrahedron

Tetrahedron(radius=1.0, center=(0.0, 0.0, 0.0))

Create a tetrahedron of a given size.

A tetrahedron is composed of four congruent equilateral triangles.

Parameters:

radiusfloat, default: 1.0

The radius of the circumscribed sphere for the tetrahedron.

centerSequence, default: (0.0, 0.0, 0.0)

Three-length sequence defining the center of the tetrahedron.

Returns:

pyvista.PolyData

Mesh for the tetrahedron. Cell scalars are defined that assign integer labels to each face (with array name "FaceIndex").

Examples

Create and plot a tetrahedron.

>>> import pyvista
>>> tetra = pyvista.Tetrahedron()
>>> tetra.plot(categories=True)
