translate

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

Specifies a translation in each of the coordinate directions. Used for global, frame, and tool transformations.

Since transformations can be different per viewport, this can be set for each viewport, thus a viewport selection is needed if more than one viewport is being used.

Args:

p0:

‘x_dist’ distance to translate in the x, y, z directions

p1:

‘y_dist’ distance to translate in the x, y, z directions

p2:

‘z_dist’ distance to translate in the x, y, z directions

Examples:

# 
# Sets the function to cursor mode 
# and translates the cursor 
# 
ensight.view_transf.function("cursor")
ensight.view_transf.translate(0.295634,-0.014792,-0.144601)
# 
# Return to global transformation mode 
# 
ensight.view_transf.function("global")
# 
# Does some global transformations 
# (one of which is a translate) 
# 
ensight.view_transf.zoom(1.431051)
ensight.view_transf.rotate(-1.071430,21.547768,0.000000)
ensight.view_transf.translate(0.620558,0.000000,0.000000)
# 
# Sets Frame transform mode (local) 
# 
ensight.view_transf.function("local")
# 
# Selects the viewport and frame to use 
# 
ensight.viewport.select_begin(3)
ensight.frame.select_begin(1)
# 
# And translate the parts attached to frame 1 
# 
ensight.view_transf.translate(0.0000E+00,-4.0000e+00,0.0000e+00)
# 
# Return to global transformation mode 
# 
ensight.view_transf.function("global")

Returns:

zero on success, non-zero on error
