CustomInteractorStyle

class fury.window.CustomInteractorStyle

Bases: vtkInteractionStylePython.vtkInteractorStyleUser

Manipulate the camera and interact with objects in the scene.

This interactor style allows the user to interactively manipulate (pan, rotate and zoom) the camera. It also allows the user to interact (click, scroll, etc.) with objects in the scene.

Several events handling methods from vtkInteractorStyleUser have been overloaded to allow the propagation of the events to the objects the user is interacting with.

In summary, while interacting with the scene, the mouse events are as follows:

- Left mouse button: rotates the camera
- Right mouse button: dollys the camera
- Mouse wheel: dollys the camera
- Middle mouse button: pans the camera

__init__()

Renderer

class fury.window.Renderer(_parent=None)

Bases: fury.window.Scene

Your scene class.

This is an important object that is responsible for preparing objects e.g. actors and volumes for rendering. This is a more pythonic version of vtkRenderer proving simple methods for adding and removing actors but also it provides access to all the functionality available in vtkRenderer if necessary.

Deprecated since version 0.2.0: Renderer() will be removed in Fury v0.6.0, it is replaced by the class Scene()

__init__(_parent=None)

Init old class with a warning.

Renderer() deprecated, Please use Scene()instead

• deprecated from version: 0.2.0

• Will raise <class ‘fury.deprecator.ExpiredDeprecationError’> as of version: 0.6.0

Scene

class fury.window.Scene

Bases: vtkRenderingCorePython.vtkRenderer

Your scene class.

This is an important object that is responsible for preparing objects e.g. actors and volumes for rendering. This is a more pythonic version of vtkRenderer proving simple methods for adding and removing actors but also it provides access to all the functionality available in vtkRenderer if necessary.

__init__()

Initialize self. See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.

add(*actors)

Add an actor to the scene.

azimuth(angle)

Rotate scene’s camera.

Rotate the camera about the view up vector centered at the focal point. Note that the view up vector is whatever was set via SetViewUp, and is not necessarily perpendicular to the direction of projection. The result is a horizontal rotation of the camera.

background(color)

Set a background color.

camera()

Return the camera object.

camera_direction()

Get camera direction.

Get the vector in the direction from the camera position to the focal point. This is usually the opposite of the ViewPlaneNormal, the vector perpendicular to the screen, unless the view is oblique.

camera_info()

Return Camera information.

clear()

Remove all actors from the scene.

dolly(value)

Dolly In/Out scene’s camera.

Divide the camera’s distance from the focal point by the given dolly value. Use a value greater than one to dolly-in toward the focal point, and use a value less than one to dolly-out away from the focal point.

elevation(angle)

Elevate scene’s camera.

Rotate the camera about the cross product of the negative of the direction of projection and the view up vector, using the focal point as the center of rotation. The result is a vertical rotation of the scene.

property frame_rate

fxaa_off()

fxaa_on()

get_camera()

Return Camera information: Position, Focal Point, View Up.

pitch(angle)

Pitch scene’s camera.

Rotate the focal point about the cross product of the view up vector and the direction of projection, using the camera’s position as the center of rotation. The result is a vertical rotation of the camera.

projection(proj_type='perspective')

Decide between parallel or perspective projection.

Parameters

proj_type (str) – Can be ‘parallel’ or ‘perspective’ (default).

reset_camera()

Reset the camera to an automatic position given by the engine.

reset_camera_tight(margin_factor=1.02)

Resets camera so the content fit tightly within the window.

Parameters

margin_factor (float (optional)) – Margin added around the content. Default: 1.02.

reset_clipping_range()

Reset the camera to an automatic position given by the engine.

rm(*actors)

Remove more than once actors at once.

rm_all()

Remove all actors from the scene.

roll(angle)

Roll scene’s camera.

Rotate the camera about the direction of projection. This will spin the camera about its axis.

set_camera(position=None, focal_point=None, view_up=None)

Set up camera position / Focal Point / View Up.

size()

Scene size.

yaw(angle)

Yaw scene’s camera.

Rotate the focal point about the view up vector, using the camera’s position as the center of rotation. Note that the view up vector is whatever was set via SetViewUp, and is not necessarily perpendicular to the direction of projection. The result is a horizontal rotation of the scene.

zoom(value)

Rescale scene’s camera.

In perspective mode, decrease the view angle by the specified factor. In parallel mode, decrease the parallel scale by the specified factor. A value greater than 1 is a zoom-in, a value less than 1 is a zoom-out.
