Example 1: Sample a point from the surface of the solid sphere of a defined radius and center location.

Sphere.sample(
    center=Vector([0, 0, 0]),
    radius=2,
    mode="SURFACE"
)
Parameters:
  • center (Union[Vector, ndarray, list]) – Location of the center of the sphere.
  • radius (float) – The radius of the sphere.
  • mode (str) – Mode of sampling. Determines the geometrical structure used for sampling. Available: SURFACE (sampling from the 2-sphere), INTERIOR (sampling from the 3-ball).
Return type:

ndarray
