radius=1.0,
n_sides=15,
)[source]#

Create a tube.

Parameters:
pointasequence[float], default: (-0.5, 0.0, 0.0)

Location in [x, y, z].

pointbsequence[float], default: (0.5, 0.0, 0.0)

Location in [x, y, z].

resolutionint, default: 1

Number of pieces to divide tube into.

radiusfloat, default: 1.0

Minimum tube radius (minimum because the tube radius may vary).

n_sidesint, default: 15

Number of sides for the tube.

Returns:
pyvista.PolyData

Tube mesh.

Examples

Create a tube between (0, 0, 0) and (0, 0, 1).

>>> import pyvista as pv
