Dot3D¶

Qualified name: algan.mobs.shapes\_3d.Dot3D

class Dot3D(point=tensor([0., 0., 0.]), radius=0.08, color=None, resolution=None, **kwargs)[source]¶

Bases: Sphere

A small Sphere, for marking a point in a 3-D scene.

Parameters:

point – Where to put it, shape (*, 3) in world units. Defaults to the world origin.
radius – Radius in world units. Defaults to 0.08 – small enough to read as a marker beside shapes of unit size.
color – An Algan Color, a named constant such as BLUE, or anything Color() accepts. Defaults to None, meaning the Sphere default (GREEN).
resolution – Grid resolution as (grid_width, grid_height), or one int for both. Defaults to None, meaning Algan sizes the grid itself.
**kwargs – Passed to Sphere.

Examples

Three markers along a line:

Methods

Attributes

`animation_manager`	This mob's scene-owned animation manager.
`basis`	The Mob's orientation and scale, as a flattened 3x3 matrix of shape `(*, 9)`.
`casts_shadows`	Whether this Mob's geometry blocks light on its way from a light source to another surface -- whether it casts a shadow.
`children`	The Mobs attached below this one, in attachment order.
`closed_shell`	Whether this Mob's triangles form a CLOSED shell -- every camera ray that enters the geometry crosses a second time on its way out.
`color_texture`	An image painted across the surface, as an `[W, H, 5]` RGBA+glow tensor.
`draws_descendants`	Whether `get_render_primitives` returns geometry belonging to this Mob's DESCENDANTS as well as its own.
`forward`	Get the direction the Mob is facing.
`geometry_tolerance`	How far this surface's mesh may sit from the exact shape, in world units.
`lifespan`	This mob's [spawn, despawn) interval on its Scene timeline (a `Lifespan`).
`location`	The Mob's position in world space, shape `(*, 3)`.
`normalized_basis`	The Mob's orientation with scale divided out, shape `(*, 9)`.
`parents`	The Mobs this one is attached to, in attachment order.
`receives_shadows`	Whether this Mob's surfaces are darkened by shadows cast onto them.
`render_tolerance_pixels`	How far a drawn triangle may sit from the true surface, in pixels.
`right`	Get the Mob's own rightward direction.
`scale_coefficient`	The Mob's scale along its own right, up and forward axes, shape `(*, 3)`.
`two_sided`	Whether this Mob's geometry should be lit from whichever side the ray arrives on.
`up`	Get the Mob's own upward direction.
`vertices`	The surface's vertex positions, shape `(, grid_width grid_height, 3)`.
`x`	The Mob's x coordinate in world units, shape `(*, 1)`.
`xy`	The Mob's x and y coordinates in world units, shape `(*, 2)`.
`y`	The Mob's y coordinate in world units, shape `(*, 1)`.
`z`	The Mob's z coordinate in world units, shape `(*, 1)`.
