pyvista.lines_from_points#

lines_from_points(
points: VectorLike[float] | MatrixLike[float],
close: bool = False,
) → PolyData[source]#

Make a connected line set given an array of points.

Parameters:
pointsarray_like[float]

Points representing the vertices of the connected segments. For example, two line segments would be represented as np.array([[0, 0, 0], [1, 0, 0], [1, 1, 0]]).

closebool, default: False

If True, close the line segments into a loop.

Returns:
pyvista.PolyData

PolyData with lines and cells.

Examples

>>> import numpy as np
>>> import pyvista as pv
>>> points = np.array([[0, 0, 0], [1, 0, 0], [1, 1, 0]])
>>> poly = pv.lines_from_points(points)
>>> poly.plot(line_width=5)
