pygfx.objects.Points¶

class pygfx.objects.Points(geometry=None, material=None, *, visible=True, render_order=0, render_mask='auto')¶

Bases: WorldObject

A point cloud.

An object consisting of points represented by vertices (3D positions).

The picking info of a Points object (the result of renderer.get_pick_info()) will for most materials include vertex_index (int) and point_coord (tuple of 2 float coordinates in logical pixels).

Parameters:

geometry (Geometry) – The data defining the shape of the object.
material (Material) – The data defining the appearence of the object.
visible (bool) – Whether the object is visible.
render_order (int) – The render order (when applicable for the renderer’s blend mode).
render_mask (str) – Determines the render passes that the object is rendered in. It’s recommended to let the renderer decide, using “auto”.
position (Vector) – The position of the object in the world. Default (0, 0, 0).
