Mayavi Mlab : Drawing octahedrons
I cannot find a way to draw octahedrons. Could someone point me to a class for drawing triangular (transclucent) surfaces at the least? tvtk.tools.visual seems to have only a few basic shapes. The Gallery has an example of how to use triangular_mesh : import numpy as np import mayavi.mlab as ML verts = [(1,-1,0), (1,1,0), (-1,1,0), (-1,-1,0), (0,0,1), (0,0,-1)] x, y, z = zip(*verts) # Each triangle is a 3-tuple of indices. The indices are indices of `verts`. triangles = [(i, (i+1)%4, j) for i in range(4) for j in (4,5)] colorval = z ML.triangular_mesh(x, y, z, triangles, scalars=colorval,
