schrodinger.graphics3d.polyhedron module

The polyhedron module allows creation and drawing of polyhedra.The body of the polyhedron is composed of faces that are composed of vertices.

Control over the vertices, faces, color, and opacity of a box are provided. However, please note that the current implementation does not ensure the passed in vertices and faces will enclose to form a volume. This must be determined in the subclass.

To draw any number of polyhedra, create the Polyhedron instances, add them to a Group instance then invoke the Group’s draw() method.
