Other functions

animate

mayavi.mlab.animate(func=None, delay=500, ui=True, support_movie=True)

:: A convenient decorator to animate a generator performing an animation.

The delay parameter specifies the delay (in milliseconds) between calls to the decorated function. If ui is True, then a simple UI for the animator is also popped up. The decorated function will return the Animator instance used and a user may call its Stop method to stop the animation. The support_movie parameter is True by default and this makes it easy to record a movie with the decorator. If this is turned off, one cannot record a movie of the animation.

If an ordinary function is decorated a TypeError will be raised.

Parameters

delay:

int specifying the time interval in milliseconds between calls to the function.

ui:

bool specifying if a UI controlling the animation is to be provided.

support_movie:

bool specifying if the animation will support recording of a movie.

Returns

The decorated function returns an Animator instance.

Examples

Here is the example provided in the Animator class documentation:

>>> from mayavi import mlab
>>> @mlab.animate
... def anim():
...     f = mlab.gcf()
...     while 1:
...         f.scene.camera.azimuth(10)
...         f.scene.render()
...         yield
...
>>> a = anim() # Starts the animation.

For more specialized use you can pass arguments to the decorator:

>>> from mayavi import mlab
>>> @mlab.animate(delay=500, ui=False)
... def anim():
...     f = mlab.gcf()
...     while 1:
...         f.scene.camera.azimuth(10)
...         f.scene.render()
...         yield
...
>>> a = anim() # Starts the animation without a UI.

process_ui_events

mayavi.mlab.process_ui_events()

Process GUI events.

This function merely abstracts the function so nothing is done when no UI is running.

set_engine

mayavi.mlab.set_engine(self, engine)

Sets the mlab engine.

show

mayavi.mlab.show(func=None, stop=False)

Start interacting with the figure.

By default, this function simply creates a GUI and starts its event loop if needed.

If it is used as a decorator, then it may be used to decorate a function which requires a UI. If the GUI event loop is already running it simply runs the function. If not the event loop is started and function is run in the toolkit’s event loop. The choice of UI is via ETSConfig.toolkit.

If the argument stop is set to True then it pops up a UI where the user can stop the event loop. Subsequent calls to show will restart the event loop.

Parameters

stop:

A boolean which specifies if a UI dialog is displayed which allows the event loop to be stopped.

Examples

Here is a simple example demonstrating the use of show:

>>> from mayavi import mlab
>>> mlab.test_contour3d()
>>> mlab.show()

You can stop interaction via a simple pop up UI like so:

>>> mlab.test_contour3d()
>>> mlab.show(stop=True)

The decorator can be used like so:

>>> @mlab.show
... def do():
...    mlab.test_contour3d()
...
>>> do()

The decorator can also be passed the stop argument:

>>> @mlab.show(stop=True)
... def do():
...    mlab.test_contour3d()
...
>>> do()

show_engine

mayavi.mlab.show_engine()

This function is deprecated, please use show_pipeline.

show_pipeline

mayavi.mlab.show_pipeline(self, engine=None, rich_view=True)

Show a dialog with the mayavi pipeline. This dialog allows to edit graphically the properties of the different objects on the scenes.

start_recording

mayavi.mlab.start_recording(ui=True)

Start automatic script recording. If the ui parameter is True, it creates a recorder with a user interface, if not it creates a vanilla recorder without a UI.

Returns

The Recorder instance created.

stop_recording

mayavi.mlab.stop_recording(file=None)

Stop the automatic script recording.

Parameters

file:

An open file or a filename or None. If this is None, nothing is saved.

Function signature:

text(x, y, text, ...)
