limtxt : bool | True

Display vmin/vmax text.

bgcolor : tuple/string | (0., 0., 0.)

Background color of the colorbar canvas.

ndigits : int | 2

Number of digits for the text.

width : float | 0.17

Colorbar width.

transform : VisPy.visuals.transforms | None

VisPy transformation to set to the parent node.

parent : VisPy.parent | None

Markers object parent.

verbose : string

Verbosity level.

Notes

List of supported shortcuts :

  • s : save the figure
  • <delete> : reset camera

Examples

>>> from visbrain.objects import ColorbarObj
>>> cb = ColorbarObj('cbar', cmap='viridis', clim=(4., 78.2), vmin=10.,
>>>                  vmax=72., cblabel='Colorbar title', under='gray',
>>>                  over='red', txtcolor='black', cbtxtsz=40, cbtxtsh=2.,
>>>                  txtsz=20., width=.04)
>>> cb.preview()

update_from_dict(kwargs) Update attributes from a dictionary.
cmap

Get the cmap value.

name

Get the name value.

parent

Get the parent value.

preview(bgcolor='black', axis=False, xyz=False, show=True, obj=None, size=(1200, 800), **kwargs)[source]

Previsualize the result.

Parameters:
bgcolor : array_like/string/tuple | ‘black’

Background color for the preview.

axis : bool | False

Add x and y axis with ticks.

xyz : bool | False

Add an (x, y, z) axis to the scene.

obj : VisbrainObj | None

Pass a Visbrain object if you want to use the camera of an other object.

size : tuple | (1200, 800)

Default size of the window.

kwargs : dict | {}

Optional arguments are passed to the VisbrainCanvas class.
screenshot(saveas, print_size=None, dpi=300.0, unit='centimeter', factor=None, region=None, autocrop=False, bgcolor=None, transparent=False, obj=None, line_width=1.0, **kwargs)[source]

Take a screeshot of the scene.

By default, the rendered canvas will have the size of your screen. The screenshot() method provides two ways to increase to exported image resolution :

  • Using print_size, unit and dpi inputs : specify the size of the image at a specific dpi level. For example, you might want to have an (10cm, 15cm) image at 300 dpi.
  • Using the factor input : multiply the default image size by this factor. For example, if you have a (1920, 1080) monitor and if factor is 2, the exported image should have a shape of (3840, 2160) pixels.
Parameters:
saveas : str

The name of the file to be saved. This file must contains a extension like .png, .tiff, .jpg…

print_size : tuple | None

The desired print size. This argument should be used in association with the dpi and unit inputs. print_size describe should be a tuple of two floats describing (width, height) of the exported image for a specific dpi level. The final image might not have the exact desired size but will try instead to find a compromize regarding to the proportion of width/height of the original image.

dpi : float | 300.

Dots per inch for printing the image.

unit : {‘centimeter’, ‘millimeter’, ‘pixel’, ‘inch’}

Unit of the printed size.

factor : float | None

If you don’t want to use the print_size input, factor simply multiply the resolution of your screen.

region : tuple | None

Select a specific region. Must be a tuple of four integers each one describing (x_start, y_start, width, height).

autocrop : bool | False

Automaticaly crop the figure in order to have the smallest space between the brain and the border of the picture.

bgcolor : array_like/string | None

The background color of the image.

transparent : bool | False

Specify if the exported figure have to contains a transparent background.

obj : VisbrainObj | None

Pass a Visbrain object if you want to use the camera of an other object for the sceen rendering.

kwargs : dict | {}

Optional arguments are passed to the VisbrainCanvas class.
transform

Get the transform value.

visible_obj

Get the visible_obj value.
