pyvista.Dodecahedron#

Dodecahedron(radius=1.0, center=(0.0, 0.0, 0.0))[source]#

Create a dodecahedron of a given size.

A dodecahedron is composed of twelve congruent regular pentagons.

Parameters:

radiusfloat, default: 1.0: The radius of the circumscribed sphere for the dodecahedron.
centersequence[float], default: (0.0, 0.0, 0.0): Three-length sequence defining the center of the dodecahedron.

Returns:

pyvista.PolyData: Mesh for the dodecahedron. Cell scalars are defined that assign integer labels to each face (with array name "FaceIndex").

Examples

Create and plot a dodecahedron.

>>> import pyvista
>>> tetra = pyvista.Dodecahedron()
>>> tetra.plot(categories=True)
