pyvista.SphereSource#

class SphereSource(*args, **kwargs)[source]#

Sphere source algorithm class.

Added in version 0.44.0.

Parameters:

radiusfloat, default: 0.5: Sphere radius.
centersequence[float], default: (0.0, 0.0, 0.0): Center coordinate vector in [x, y, z].
theta_resolutionint, default: 30: Set the number of points in the azimuthal direction (ranging from start_theta to end_theta).
phi_resolutionint, default: 30: Set the number of points in the polar direction (ranging from start_phi to end_phi).
start_thetafloat, default: 0.0: Starting azimuthal angle in degrees [0, 360].
end_thetafloat, default: 360.0: Ending azimuthal angle in degrees [0, 360].
start_phifloat, default: 0.0: Starting polar angle in degrees [0, 180].
end_phifloat, default: 180.0: Ending polar angle in degrees [0, 180].
