add_artist(artist: ArtistBase, exprs: Expr | tuple[Expr, ...])¶

Add an artist to the plot object.

Parameters:

artist (ArtistBase) – The artist to be added.
exprs (expression or tuple of expressions) – Args used to update the artist in the form of expressions.

add_body(body, **kwargs)¶

Add a sympy body to the scene.

Parameters:

body (RigidBody or Particle) – The body that should be plotted.
**kwargs (dict, optional) – Kwargs that are parsed to both internally used plot objects.

Returns:

The added plot object.

Return type:

PlotBody

add_frame(frame: ReferenceFrame, origin: Point | Vector | None = None, **kwargs)¶

Add a sympy ReferenceFrame to the scene.

Parameters:

frame (ReferenceFrame) – The reference frame that should be plotted.
origin (Point, Vector, optional) – The origin of the reference frame. Default is the zero_point.
**kwargs (dict, optional) – Kwargs that are parsed to plot object.

Returns:

The added plot object.

Return type:

PlotFrame

add_line(points: Iterable[Point | Vector], name: str | None = None, **kwargs)¶

Add a sympy Vector to the scene.

Parameters:

points (list of Point or Vector) – The points or vectors through which the line should be plotted.
name (str, optional) – The name of the line. Default is None.
**kwargs – Kwargs that are parsed to plot object.

Returns:

The added plot object.

Return type:

PlotLine

add_plot_object(plot_object: PlotBase)¶

Add a plot object to the scene.

Parameters:: plot_object (PlotBase) – The plot object that should be added.

add_point(point: Point | Vector, **kwargs) → type[PlotBase]¶

Add a sympy Vector to the scene.

Parameters:

point (Point or Vector) – The point or vector to be plotted as point in space.
**kwargs – Keyword arguments are parsed to the plot object.

Returns:

The added plot object.

Return type:

PlotPoint

add_vector(vector: Vector, origin: Point | Vector | None = None, **kwargs)¶

Add a sympy Vector to the scene.

Parameters:

vector (Vector) – The vector that should be plotted with respect to the zero_point.
origin (Point, Vector, optional) – The origin of the reference frame. Default is the zero_point.
**kwargs (dict, optional) – Kwargs that are parsed to the plot object.

property annot_coords: ndarray[float64]¶: Coordinate where the annotation text is displayed.

property artists: tuple[ArtistBase, ...]¶: Artists used to plot the object.

property children: tuple[PlotBase, ...]¶: Child objects in the plot hierarchy.

contains(event)¶: Boolean whether one of the artists contains the event.

get_expressions_to_evaluate() → tuple¶: Return a tuple of the necessary expressions for plotting.

get_plot_object(sympy_object: Any | str) → PlotBase | None¶

Return the plot_object based on a sympy object.

Explanation

Return the plot_object based on a provided sympy object. For example ReferenceFrame('N') will give the PlotFrame of that reference frame. If the plot_object has not been added it will return None.

Parameters:: sympy_object (Any or str) – SymPy object to search for. If it is a string it will search for the name.
Returns:: Retrieved plot object.
Return type:: PlotBase or None

property inertial_frame: ReferenceFrame¶: The reference frame with respect to which the object is oriented.

property load_group: LoadGroupBase¶: The SymBRiM load group, which is being plotted.

property name: str¶: Name of the plot object. Default is the name of the object being plotted.

plot(ax=None)¶

Plot the associated plot objects.

Explanation

Add the objects artists to the matplotlib axes. Note that the object should be evaluated before plotting.

Parameters:: ax (matplotlib.axes._subplots.Axes3DSubplot, optional) – Axes on which the artist should be added. The default is the active axes.
