Prism¶

Qualified name: manim.mobject.three\_d.three\_dimensions.Prism

class Prism(dimensions=[3, 2, 1], **kwargs)[source]¶

Bases: Cube

A right rectangular prism (or rectangular cuboid). Defined by the length of each side in [x, y, z] format.

Parameters:

dimensions (Vector3DLike) – Dimensions of the Prism in [x, y, z] format.
kwargs (Any)

Examples

Example: ExamplePrism ¶

from manim import *

class ExamplePrism(ThreeDScene):
    def construct(self):
        self.set_camera_orientation(phi=60 * DEGREES, theta=150 * DEGREES)
        prismSmall = Prism(dimensions=[1, 2, 3]).rotate(PI / 2)
        prismLarge = Prism(dimensions=[1.5, 3, 4.5]).move_to([2, 0, 0])
        self.add(prismSmall, prismLarge)

class ExamplePrism(ThreeDScene):
    def construct(self):
        self.set_camera_orientation(phi=60 * DEGREES, theta=150 * DEGREES)
        prismSmall = Prism(dimensions=[1, 2, 3]).rotate(PI / 2)
        prismLarge = Prism(dimensions=[1.5, 3, 4.5]).move_to([2, 0, 0])
        self.add(prismSmall, prismLarge)

Methods
