# Visualizing frames (rigid bodies)

In the last sections, we only visualized points. The Player can also draw rigid bodies represented by [homogeneous transform series (Nx4x4)](geometry_transforms.md). For instance, let's create two series of transforms that revolve around the x and z axes:

```{code-cell} ipython3
:tags: [remove-output]

import numpy as np
import kineticstoolkit.lab as ktk

# Create a TimeSeries with two rotating transforms
transforms = ktk.TimeSeries(time=np.linspace(0, 5, 100))

transforms.data["RotationAroundX"] = ktk.geometry.create_transform_series(
    angles=np.linspace(0, 2 * np.pi, 100),
    positions=[[0.2, 0.0, 0.0]],
    seq="x",
)

transforms.data["RotationAroundZ"] = ktk.geometry.create_transform_series(
    angles=np.linspace(0, 2 * np.pi, 100),
    positions=[[0.0, 0.0, 0.2]],
    seq="z",
)

# Show these frames in the Player
p = ktk.Player(transforms)
```

```{code-cell} ipython3
:tags: [remove-input]

p.azimuth = 0.8
p.elevation = 0.16
p.zoom = 10
p._to_animation()
```
