Package structure

The silx.gui.plot3d package provides 3D visualisation widgets. This package is structured as follows.

Widget-level API

Widgets are available as modules of the silx.gui.plot3d packages.

The Plot3DWidget module provides the OpenGL canvas where the scene is rendered. The Plot3DWindow module provides a QMainWindow with a Plot3DWindow as its central widget and toolbars: ViewpointToolBar and Plot3DToolBar. QAction that can be associated with a Plot3DWidget are defined in the Plot3DActions module. Those actions are used by the Plot3DToolBar toolbar.

The ScalarFieldView module defines the ScalarFieldView widget that displays iso-surfaces of a 3D scalar data set and the associated classes. The SFViewParamTree module defines a SFViewParamTree.TreeView widget that can be attached to a ScalarFieldView to control the display.

OpenGL scene API

This API is NOT stable. Widgets of silx.gui.plot3d are based on the following sub-packages:

• glutils: Loads PyOpenGL and provides classes to handle OpenGL resources.
• scene: Provides a hierarchical scene structure handling rendering and interaction.
• utils: Miscellaneous supporting modules.
• _font: Provides an API to use Qt Font system from the scene package.

  • glutils.gl
  • Utility functions
  • Program
  • Texture

  • axes: Bounding Box with axes ticks and labels
  • camera: Projection management classes
  • core: Base class of the scene nodes
  • cutplane: Cutting plane primitive
