pyvista.Plotter.add_cursor

Plotter.add_cursor(

bounds: Sequence[float] = (-1.0, 1.0, -1.0, 1.0, -1.0, 1.0),

focal_point: Sequence[float] = (0.0, 0.0, 0.0),

color: ColorLike | None = None,

) → _vtk.vtkActor

Add a cursor of a PyVista or VTK dataset to the scene.

Parameters:

boundssequence[float], default: (-1.0, 1.0, -1.0, 1.0, -1.0, 1.0)

Specify the bounds in the format of:

• (x_min, x_max, y_min, y_max, z_min, z_max)

focal_pointsequence[float], default: (0.0, 0.0, 0.0)

The focal point of the cursor.

colorColorLike, optional

Either a string, RGB sequence, or hex color string. For one of the following.

• color='white'

• color='w'

• color=[1.0, 1.0, 1.0]

• color='#FFFFFF'

Returns:

vtkActor

VTK actor of the 2D cursor.

Examples

>>> import pyvista as pv
>>> sphere = pv.Sphere()
>>> plotter = pv.Plotter()
>>> _ = plotter.add_mesh(sphere)
>>> _ = plotter.add_cursor()
>>> plotter.show()
