Create Basic Geometric Objects
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the "Hello, world!" of PyVista.

.. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 9-12

.. code-block:: Python


    import pyvista as pv








.. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 13-17

This runs through several of the available geometric objects available in
VTK which PyVista provides simple convenience methods for generating.

Let's run through creating a few geometric objects!

.. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 17-28

.. code-block:: Python


    cyl = pv.Cylinder()
    arrow = pv.Arrow()
    sphere = pv.Sphere()
    plane = pv.Plane()
    line = pv.Line()
    box = pv.Box()
    cone = pv.Cone()
    poly = pv.Polygon()
    disc = pv.Disc()








.. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 29-30

Now let's plot them all in one window

.. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 30-58

.. code-block:: Python


    p = pv.Plotter(shape=(3, 3))
    # Top row
    p.subplot(0, 0)
    p.add_mesh(cyl, color="tan", show_edges=True)
    p.subplot(0, 1)
    p.add_mesh(arrow, color="tan", show_edges=True)
