cylinder_axis

view_transf.cylinder_axis(p0: float, p1: float, p2: float) → int

Sets the axis for the cylinder tool.

Use with view_transf: cylinder_origin and view_transf: cylinder_radius to fully define the cylinder tool

The components are in reference to the selected frame.

Args:

p0:

‘x_comp’ x, y, z directional components for the cylinder tool axis

p1:

‘y_comp’ x, y, z directional components for the cylinder tool axis

p2:

‘z_comp’ x, y, z directional components for the cylinder tool axis

Examples:

# 
# Turns display of the quadric cylinder on 
# (only one quadric tool at a time can be on) 
# 
ensight.tools.quadric("cylinder")
# 
# Sets the axis and other attributes of the cylinder tool 
# 
ensight.view_transf.cylinder_axis(1.000000,0.100000,0.000000)
ensight.view_transf.cylinder_origin(-0.750000,0.700000,1.000000)
ensight.view_transf.cylinder_radius(1.500000)
# 
# Turns off the display of the quadric tool 
# 
ensight.tools.quadric("none")

Returns:

zero on success, non-zero on error
