Use the MeshObjectPlot class

The Visualization Interface Tool provides the MeshObject helper class to relate a custom object with its mesh. With a custom object, you can take advantage of the full potential of the Visualization Interface Tool.

This example shows how to use the MeshObjectPlot class to plot your custom objects.

Relate CustomObject class with a PyVista mesh

import pyvista as pv

# Note that the ``CustomObject`` class must have a way to get the mesh
# and a name or ID.

class CustomObject:
    def __init__(self):
        self.name = "CustomObject"
        self.mesh = pv.Cube()

    def get_mesh(self):
        return self.mesh

    def name(self):
        return self.name

# Create a custom object
custom_object = CustomObject()

Create a MeshObjectPlot instance

from ansys.tools.visualization_interface import MeshObjectPlot

# Create an instance

mesh_object = MeshObjectPlot(custom_object, custom_object.get_mesh())

Plot the MeshObjectPlot instance

from ansys.tools.visualization_interface import Plotter

pl = Plotter()
pl.plot(mesh_object)
pl.show()
