pygfx.geometries.octahedron_geometry(radius=1.0, subdivisions=0)

Generate a octahedron.

Creates an octahedron that is centered around the local origin. It has its vertices lie on the surface of a sphere of the given radius. Its faces are optionally subdivided if subdivisions>0.

Parameters:

radius (int) – The radius of a sphere that has the vertices on its surface.
subdivisions (int) – The amount of times each face will be subdivided, where 0 (the default) means no subdivision.

Returns:

octahedron – A geometry object representing the desired octahedron. Mathematically, it consists of a set of open orientable manifolds.

Return type:
