pygfx.geometries.torus_knot_geometry(scale=1.0, tube=0.4, tubular_segments=64, radial_segments=8, p=2, q=3, stitch=False)

Generate a torus knot.

Create geometry representing a torus knot, the particular shape of which is defined by a pair of coprime integers, p and q. If p and q are not coprime, the result will be a torus link.

Parameters:

scale (float) – The scale of the torus, default 1.
tube (float) – The radius of the tube. Default 0.4.
tubular_segments (int) – default is 64.
radial_segments (int) – default is 8.
p (int) – How many times the geometry winds around its axis of rotational symmetry. Default 2.
q (int) – How many times the geometry winds around a circle in the interior of the torus. Default 3.
stitch (bool) – Whether to stitch the ends together to produce a closed manifold. Default False. If False, the mesh is basically a curved surface with the edges meeting to make it visually closed, which works better for texturing. Set to True for a mathematically closed object.

Returns:

torus – A geometry object representing the requested torus. Mathematically, it is an open orientable manifold, which can be closed with the stitch parameter.

Return type:
