MeshArtist

class compas_rhino.artists.MeshArtist(mesh, layer=None)[source]

Bases: compas_rhino.artists._artist.BaseArtist

Artists for drawing mesh data structures.

Parameters

• mesh (compas.datastructures.Mesh) – A COMPAS mesh.

• layer (str, optional) – The name of the layer that will contain the mesh.

Attributes

• mesh (compas.datastructures.Mesh) – The COMPAS mesh associated with the artist.

• layer (str) – The layer in which the mesh should be contained.

• color_vertices (3-tuple) – Default color of the vertices.

• color_edges (3-tuple) – Default color of the edges.

• color_faces (3-tuple) – Default color of the faces.

Examples

import compas
from compas.datastructures import Mesh
from compas_rhino.artists import MeshArtist

mesh = Mesh.from_obj(compas.get('faces.obj'))

artist = MeshArtist(mesh, layer='COMPAS::MeshArtist')
artist.clear_layer()
artist.draw_faces(join_faces=True)
artist.draw_vertices(color={key: '#ff0000' for key in mesh.vertices_on_boundary()})
artist.draw_edges()
artist.redraw()

Methods
