## Usage

```python

import numpy as np

import pyvista as pv

from torus_three_points.main import torusThreePoints

plotter = pv.Plotter()

torusThreePoints(

  plotter, p1, p2, p3, r, S=64, s=32, show=False, ....

)

```

#### Arguments

- `plotter`: PyVista plotter region

- `p1, p2, p3`: three points (numpy arrays)

- `r`: minor radius

- `S,s`: numbers of subdivisions for the torus mesh

- `show`: whether to show the figure (if `True`, this closes the plotter)

- `...`: parameters passed on to `pyvista.add_mesh`, such as `smooth_shading=True, color="red", specular=0.9`

Instead of setting `show=True`, you can run `plotter.show()` once you're done.
