Providing keyword arguments to the pyvista plotter

import firedrake

import viskex

Generate a mesh of the unit square by dividing each edge of the square in 6 segments.

square = firedrake.UnitSquareMesh(6, 6, distribution_parameters={"partitioner_type": "simple"})

Each plotting function accepts optional keyword arguments, that are passed directly to the add_mesh method of the underlying pyvista plotter. For instance, the following two notebook cells plot the mesh using pyvista default color (red) first, and then using a custom color provided as a keyword argument (blue).

viskex.firedrake.plot_mesh(square)

viskex.firedrake.plot_mesh(square, color="blue")
