ComplexImageView: Plot a 2D array of complex

This module provides a widget to view 2D complex data.

The ComplexImageView widget is dedicated to visualize a single 2D dataset of complex data.

../../../_images/ComplexImageView.png

ComplexImageView class

class ComplexImageView(parent=None)[source]

Display an image of complex data and allow to choose the visualization.

Parameters:parent – See QMainWindow
class Mode

Identify available display mode for complex

sigDataChanged

Signal emitted when data has changed.

sigVisualizationModeChanged

Signal emitted when the visualization mode has changed.

It provides the new visualization mode.

getPlot()[source]

Return the PlotWidget displaying the data

setData(data=None, copy=True)[source]

Set the complex data to display.

Parameters:
  • data (numpy.ndarray) – 2D complex data
  • copy (bool) – True (default) to copy the data, False to use provided data (do not modify!).
getData(copy=True)[source]

Get the currently displayed complex data.

Parameters:copy (bool) – True (default) to return a copy of the data, False to return internal data (do not modify!).
Returns:The complex data array.
Return type:numpy.ndarray of complex with 2 dimensions
getDisplayedData(copy=True)[source]

Returns the displayed data depending on the visualization mode

WARNING: The returned data can be a uint8 RGBA image

Parameters:copy (bool) – True (default) to return a copy of the data, False to return internal data (do not modify!)
Return type:numpy.ndarray of float with 2 dims or RGBA image (uint8)
static getSupportedVisualizationModes()[source]

Returns the supported visualization modes.

Supported visualization modes are:

  • amplitude: The absolute value provided by numpy.absolute
  • phase: The phase (or argument) provided by numpy.angle
  • real: Real part
  • imaginary: Imaginary part
  • amplitude_phase: Color-coded phase with amplitude as alpha.
  • log10_amplitude_phase: Color-coded phase with log10(amplitude) as alpha.
Return type:List[Mode]
setVisualizationMode(mode)[source]

Set the mode of visualization of the complex data.

See getSupportedVisualizationModes() for the list of supported modes.

How-to change visualization mode:

widget = ComplexImageView()
widget.setVisualizationMode(ComplexImageView.Mode.PHASE)
Parameters:mode (Mode) – The mode to use.
getVisualizationMode()[source]

Get the current visualization mode of the complex data.

Return type:Mode
setColormap(colormap, mode=None)[source]

Set the colormap to use for amplitude, phase, real or imaginary.

WARNING: This colormap is not used when displaying both amplitude and phase.

Parameters:
  • colormap (Colormap) – The colormap
  • mode (Mode) – If specified, set the colormap of this specific mode
getColormap(mode=None)[source]

Returns the colormap used to display the data.

Parameters:mode (Mode) – If specified, set the colormap of this specific mode
Return type:Colormap
getOrigin()[source]

Returns the offset from origin at which to display the image.

Return type:2-tuple of float
setOrigin(origin)[source]

Set the offset from origin at which to display the image.

Parameters:origin (float or 2-tuple of float) – (ox, oy) Offset from origin
getScale()[source]

Returns the scale of the image in data coordinates.

Return type:2-tuple of float
setScale(scale)[source]

Set the scale of the image

Parameters:scale (float or 2-tuple of float) – (sx, sy) Scale of the image
getXAxis()[source]

Returns the X axis

Return type:items.Axis
getYAxis()[source]

Returns an Y axis

Return type:items.Axis
getGraphTitle()[source]

Return the plot main title as a str.

setGraphTitle(title='')[source]

Set the plot main title.

Parameters:title (str) – Main title of the plot (default: ‘’)
setKeepDataAspectRatio(flag)[source]

Set whether the plot keeps data aspect ratio or not.

Parameters:flag (bool) – True to respect data aspect ratio
isKeepDataAspectRatio()[source]

Returns whether the plot is keeping data aspect ratio or not.
