class pygmt.params.Perspective(azimuth=None, elevation=None, level=None, plane=None)

Class for setting perspective view.

Examples

>>> import pygmt
>>> from pygmt.params import Perspective
>>> fig = pygmt.Figure()
>>> fig.basemap(
...     region=[0, 10, 0, 10, 0, 20],
...     projection="X3c",
...     zsize="3c",
...     frame=["xafg", "yafg", "zafg", "wSEnZ"],
...     perspective=Perspective(azimuth=135, elevation=40, level=10),
... )
>>> fig.show()

azimuth: float | None = None

Azimuth of the viewpoint in degrees. Default is 180.0 (looking from south to north).

elevation: float | None = None

Elevation angle of the viewpoint in degrees. Default is 90.0 (looking straight down at nadir).

level: float | None = None

The level at which all 2-D material, like the plot frame, is plotted. Only valid when used together with parameters zsize/zscale. Default is at the bottom of the z-axis.
