Advanced interactive visualization
==================================
In DIPY we created a thin interface to access many of the capabilities
available in the Visualization Toolkit framework (VTK) but tailored to the
needs of structural and diffusion imaging. Initially the 3D visualization
module was named ``fvtk``, meaning functions using vtk. This is still available
for backwards compatibility but now there is a more comprehensive way to access
the main functions using the following modules.
.. code-block:: default
import numpy as np
from fury import actor, window, ui
In ``window`` we have all the objects that connect what needs to be rendered
to the display or the disk e.g., for saving screenshots. So, there you will
find key objects and functions like the ``Scene`` class which holds and
provides access to all the actors and the ``show`` function which displays
what is in the scene on a window. Also, this module provides access to
functions for opening/saving dialogs and printing screenshots
(see ``snapshot``).
In the ``actor`` module we can find all the different primitives e.g.,
streamtubes, lines, image slices, etc.
In the ``ui`` module we have some other objects which allow to add buttons
and sliders and these interact both with windows and actors. Because of this
they need input from the operating system so they can process events.
Let's get started. In this tutorial, we will visualize some bundles
together with FA or T1. We will be able to change the slices using
a ``LineSlider2D`` widget.
First we need to fetch and load some datasets.
.. code-block:: default
from dipy.tracking.streamline import Streamlines
from dipy.data.fetcher import fetch_bundles_2_subjects, read_bundles_2_subjects
fetch_bundles_2_subjects()
The following function outputs a dictionary with the required bundles e.g.
``af left`` (left arcuate fasciculus) and maps, e.g. FA for a specific
subject.
.. code-block:: default
res = read_bundles_2_subjects('subj_1', ['t1', 'fa'],
['af.left', 'cst.right', 'cc_1'])
We will use 3 bundles, FA and the affine transformation that brings the voxel
coordinates to world coordinates (RAS 1mm).
.. code-block:: default
streamlines = Streamlines(res['af.left'])
streamlines.extend(res['cst.right'])
streamlines.extend(res['cc_1'])
data = res['fa']
shape = data.shape
affine = res['affine']
With our current design it is easy to decide in which space you want the
streamlines and slices to appear. The default we have here is to appear in
world coordinates (RAS 1mm).
.. code-block:: default
world_coords = True
If we want to see the objects in native space we need to make sure that all
objects which are currently in world coordinates are transformed back to
native space using the inverse of the affine.
.. code-block:: default
if not world_coords:
from dipy.tracking.streamline import transform_streamlines
streamlines = transform_streamlines(streamlines, np.linalg.inv(affine))
Now we create, a ``Scene`` object and add the streamlines using the
``line`` function and an image plane using the ``slice`` function.
.. code-block:: default
scene = window.Scene()
stream_actor = actor.line(streamlines)
if not world_coords:
image_actor_z = actor.slicer(data, affine=np.eye(4))
else:
image_actor_z = actor.slicer(data, affine)
We can also change also the opacity of the slicer.
.. code-block:: default
slicer_opacity = 0.6
image_actor_z.opacity(slicer_opacity)
We can add additonal slicers by copying the original and adjusting the
``display_extent``.
.. code-block:: default
image_actor_x = image_actor_z.copy()
x_midpoint = int(np.round(shape[0] / 2))
image_actor_x.display_extent(x_midpoint,
x_midpoint, 0,
shape[1] - 1,
0,
shape[2] - 1)
image_actor_y = image_actor_z.copy()
y_midpoint = int(np.round(shape[1] / 2))
image_actor_y.display_extent(0,
shape[0] - 1,
y_midpoint,
y_midpoint,
0,
shape[2] - 1)
Connect the actors with the Scene.
.. code-block:: default
scene.add(stream_actor)
scene.add(image_actor_z)
scene.add(image_actor_x)
scene.add(image_actor_y)
Now we would like to change the position of each ``image_actor`` using a
slider. The sliders are widgets which require access to different areas of
the visualization pipeline and therefore we don't recommend using them with
``show``. The more appropriate way is to use them with the ``ShowManager``
object which allows accessing the pipeline in different areas. Here is how:
.. code-block:: default
show_m = window.ShowManager(scene, size=(1200, 900))
show_m.initialize()
After we have initialized the ``ShowManager`` we can go ahead and create
sliders to move the slices and change their opacity.
.. code-block:: default
line_slider_z = ui.LineSlider2D(min_value=0,
max_value=shape[2] - 1,
initial_value=shape[2] / 2,
text_template="{value:.0f}",
length=140)
line_slider_x = ui.LineSlider2D(min_value=0,
max_value=shape[0] - 1,
initial_value=shape[0] / 2,
text_template="{value:.0f}",
length=140)
line_slider_y = ui.LineSlider2D(min_value=0,
max_value=shape[1] - 1,
initial_value=shape[1] / 2,
text_template="{value:.0f}",
length=140)
opacity_slider = ui.LineSlider2D(min_value=0.0,
max_value=1.0,
initial_value=slicer_opacity,
length=140)
Now we will write callbacks for the sliders and register them.
.. code-block:: default
def change_slice_z(slider):
z = int(np.round(slider.value))
image_actor_z.display_extent(0, shape[0] - 1, 0, shape[1] - 1, z, z)
def change_slice_x(slider):
x = int(np.round(slider.value))
image_actor_x.display_extent(x, x, 0, shape[1] - 1, 0, shape[2] - 1)
def change_slice_y(slider):
y = int(np.round(slider.value))
image_actor_y.display_extent(0, shape[0] - 1, y, y, 0, shape[2] - 1)
def change_opacity(slider):
slicer_opacity = slider.value
image_actor_z.opacity(slicer_opacity)
image_actor_x.opacity(slicer_opacity)
image_actor_y.opacity(slicer_opacity)
line_slider_z.on_change = change_slice_z
line_slider_x.on_change = change_slice_x
line_slider_y.on_change = change_slice_y
opacity_slider.on_change = change_opacity
We'll also create text labels to identify the sliders.
.. code-block:: default
def build_label(text):
label = ui.TextBlock2D()
label.message = text
label.font_size = 18
label.font_family = 'Arial'
label.justification = 'left'
label.bold = False
label.italic = False
label.shadow = False
label.background_color = (0, 0, 0)
label.color = (1, 1, 1)
return label
line_slider_label_z = build_label(text="Z Slice")
line_slider_label_x = build_label(text="X Slice")
line_slider_label_y = build_label(text="Y Slice")
opacity_slider_label = build_label(text="Opacity")
Now we will create a ``panel`` to contain the sliders and labels.
.. code-block:: default
panel = ui.Panel2D(size=(300, 200),
color=(1, 1, 1),
opacity=0.1,
align="right")
panel.center = (1030, 120)
panel.add_element(line_slider_label_x, (0.1, 0.75))
panel.add_element(line_slider_x, (0.38, 0.75))
panel.add_element(line_slider_label_y, (0.1, 0.55))
panel.add_element(line_slider_y, (0.38, 0.55))
panel.add_element(line_slider_label_z, (0.1, 0.35))
panel.add_element(line_slider_z, (0.38, 0.35))
panel.add_element(opacity_slider_label, (0.1, 0.15))
panel.add_element(opacity_slider, (0.38, 0.15))
show_m.scene.add(panel)
Then, we can render all the widgets and everything else in the screen and
start the interaction using ``show_m.start()``.
However, if you change the window size, the panel will not update its
position properly. The solution to this issue is to update the position of
the panel using its ``re_align`` method every time the window size changes.
.. code-block:: default
size = scene.GetSize()
def win_callback(obj, _event):
global size
if size != obj.GetSize():
size_old = size
size = obj.GetSize()
size_change = [size[0] - size_old[0], 0]
panel.re_align(size_change)
show_m.initialize()
Finally, please set the following variable to ``True`` to interact with the
datasets in 3D.
.. code-block:: default
interactive = False
scene.zoom(1.5)
scene.reset_clipping_range()
if interactive:
show_m.add_window_callback(win_callback)
show_m.render()
show_m.start()
else:
window.record(scene, out_path='bundles_and_3_slices.png', size=(1200, 900),
reset_camera=False)
del show_m
