colour.geometry.primitive_grid

colour.geometry.primitive_grid(width=1, height=1, width_segments=1, height_segments=1, axis='+z')

Generates vertices and indices for a filled and outlined grid primitive.

Parameters

• width (float, optional) – Grid width.

• height (float, optional) – Grid height.

• width_segments (int, optional) – Grid segments count along the width.

• height_segments (float, optional) – Grid segments count along the height.

• axis (unicode, optional) – {‘+z’, ‘-x’, ‘+x’, ‘-y’, ‘+y’, ‘-z’, ‘xy’, ‘xz’, ‘yz’, ‘yx’, ‘zx’, ‘zy’}, Axis the primitive will be normal to, or plane the primitive will be co-planar with.

Returns

Tuple of grid vertices, face indices to produce a filled grid and outline indices to produce an outline of the faces of the grid.

Return type

tuple
