revolution_axis

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

Sets the axis for the revolution tool.

Coordinates are in reference to the selected coordinate frame.

Args:

p0:

‘x_comp’ x, y, z directional components of the revolution tool axis

p1:

‘y_comp’ x, y, z directional components of the revolution tool axis

p2:

‘z_comp’ x, y, z directional components of the revolution tool axis

Examples:

# 
# Turns display of the quadric surface of revolution on 
# (only one quadric tool at a time can be on) 
# 
ensight.tools.quadric("revolution")
# 
# Sets the axis and other attributes of the revolution tool 
#
