plot_3d

FfdSolutionData.plot_3d(quantity='RealizedGain', quantity_format='dB10', rotation=None, output_file=None, show=True, show_as_standalone=False, pyvista_object=None, background=None, scale_farfield=None, show_beam_slider=True, show_geometry=True)

Create a 3D polar plot of the geometry with a radiation pattern in PyVista.

Parameters:

quantitystr, optional

Quantity to plot. The default is "RealizedGain". Available quantities are: "RealizedGain", "RealizedGain_Theta", "RealizedGain_Phi", "rETotal", "rETheta", and "rEPhi".

quantity_formatstr, optional

Conversion data function. Available functions are: "abs", "ang", "dB10", "dB20", "deg", "imag", "norm", and "real".

output_filestr, optional

Full path for the image file. The default is None, in which case a file is not exported.

rotationlist, optional

Far field rotation matrix. The matrix contains three vectors, around x, y, and z axes. The default is [[1., 0., 0.], [0., 1., 0.], [0., 0., 1.]].

showbool, optional

Whether to show the plot. The default is True.

show_as_standalonebool, optional

Whether to show a plot as standalone. The default is False.

pyvista_objectPyvista.Plotter, optional

PyVista instance defined externally. The default is None.

backgroundlist or str, optional

Background color if a list is passed or background picture if a string is passed. The default is None.

scale_farfieldlist, optional

List with minimum and maximum values of the scale slider. The default is None.

show_beam_sliderbool, optional

Whether the Theta and Phi scan slider is active. The default is True.

show_geometry

Whether to show the geometry. The default is True.

Returns:

bool or Pyvista.Plotter

True when successful. The Pyvista.Plotter is returned when show and image_path are False.
