Import the components of the volume rendering extension

class yt.visualization.volume_rendering.old_camera.Camera(center, normal_vector, width, resolution, transfer_function=None, north_vector=None, steady_north=False, volume=None, fields=None, log_fields=None, sub_samples=5, ds=None, min_level=None, max_level=None, no_ghost=True, data_source=None, use_light=False)[source]

A viewpoint into a volume, for volume rendering.

The camera represents the eye of an observer, which will be used to generate ray-cast volume renderings of the domain.

Parameters: center (array_like) – The current “center” of the view port – the focal point for the camera. normal_vector (array_like) – The vector between the camera position and the center. width (float or list of floats) – The current width of the image. If a single float, the volume is cubical, but if not, it is left/right, top/bottom, front/back. resolution (int or list of ints) – The number of pixels in each direction. transfer_function (yt.visualization.volume_rendering.TransferFunction) – The transfer function used to map values to colors in an image. If not specified, defaults to a ProjectionTransferFunction. north_vector (array_like, optional) – The ‘up’ direction for the plane of rays. If not specific, calculated automatically. steady_north (bool, optional) – Boolean to control whether to normalize the north_vector by subtracting off the dot product of it and the normal vector. Makes it easier to do rotations along a single axis. If north_vector is specified, is switched to True. Default: False volume (yt.extensions.volume_rendering.AMRKDTree, optional) – The volume to ray cast through. Can be specified for finer-grained control, but otherwise will be automatically generated. fields (list of fields, optional) – This is the list of fields we want to volume render; defaults to Density. log_fields (list of bool, optional) – Whether we should take the log of the fields before supplying them to the volume rendering mechanism. sub_samples (int, optional) – The number of samples to take inside every cell per ray. ds (Dataset) – For now, this is a require parameter! But in the future it will become optional. This is the dataset to volume render. use_kd (bool, optional) – Specifies whether or not to use a kd-Tree framework for the Homogenized Volume and ray-casting. Default to True. max_level (int, optional) – Specifies the maximum level to be rendered. Also specifies the maximum level used in the kd-Tree construction. Defaults to None (all levels), and only applies if use_kd=True. no_ghost (bool, optional) – Optimization option. If True, homogenized bricks will extrapolate out from grid instead of interpolating from ghost zones that have to first be calculated. This can lead to large speed improvements, but at a loss of accuracy/smoothness in resulting image. The effects are less notable when the transfer function is smooth and broad. Default: True data_source (data container, optional) – Optionally specify an arbitrary data source to the volume rendering. All cells not included in the data source will be ignored during ray casting. By default this will get set to ds.all_data().

Examples

>>> from yt.mods import *
>>> import yt.visualization.volume_rendering.api as vr

>>> ds = load('DD1701') # Load a dataset
>>> c = [0.5]*3 # Center
>>> L = [1.0,1.0,1.0] # Viewpoint
>>> W = np.sqrt(3) # Width
>>> N = 1024 # Pixels (1024^2)


# Get density min, max >>> mi, ma = ds.all_data().quantities[‘Extrema’](‘Density’)[0] >>> mi, ma = np.log10(mi), np.log10(ma)

# Construct transfer function >>> tf = vr.ColorTransferFunction((mi-2, ma+2)) # Sample transfer function with 5 gaussians. Use new col_bounds keyword. >>> tf.add_layers(5,w=0.05, col_bounds = (mi+1,ma), colormap=’spectral’)

# Create the camera object >>> cam = vr.Camera(c, L, W, (N,N), transfer_function=tf, ds=ds)

# Ray cast, and save the image. >>> image = cam.snapshot(fn=’my_rendering.png’)

class yt.visualization.volume_rendering.old_camera.PerspectiveCamera(*args, **kwargs)[source]

A viewpoint into a volume, for perspective volume rendering.

The camera represents the eye of an observer, which will be used to generate ray-cast volume renderings of the domain. The rays start from the camera and end on the image plane, which generates a perspective view.

Note: at the moment, this results in a left-handed coordinate system view

Parameters: center (array_like) – The location of the camera normal_vector (array_like) – The vector from the camera position to the center of the image plane width (float or list of floats) – width[0] and width[1] give the width and height of the image plane, and width[2] gives the depth of the image plane (distance between the camera and the center of the image plane). The view angles thus become: 2 * arctan(0.5 * width[0] / width[2]) in horizontal direction 2 * arctan(0.5 * width[1] / width[2]) in vertical direction following parameters are identical with the definitions in Camera class) ((The) – resolution (int or list of ints) – The number of pixels in each direction. transfer_function (yt.visualization.volume_rendering.TransferFunction) – The transfer function used to map values to colors in an image. If not specified, defaults to a ProjectionTransferFunction. north_vector (array_like, optional) – The ‘up’ direction for the plane of rays. If not specific, calculated automatically. steady_north (bool, optional) – Boolean to control whether to normalize the north_vector by subtracting off the dot product of it and the normal vector. Makes it easier to do rotations along a single axis. If north_vector is specified, is switched to True. Default: False volume (yt.extensions.volume_rendering.AMRKDTree, optional) – The volume to ray cast through. Can be specified for finer-grained control, but otherwise will be automatically generated. fields (list of fields, optional) – This is the list of fields we want to volume render; defaults to Density. log_fields (list of bool, optional) – Whether we should take the log of the fields before supplying them to the volume rendering mechanism. sub_samples (int, optional) – The number of samples to take inside every cell per ray. ds (Dataset) – For now, this is a require parameter! But in the future it will become optional. This is the dataset to volume render. use_kd (bool, optional) – Specifies whether or not to use a kd-Tree framework for the Homogenized Volume and ray-casting. Default to True. max_level (int, optional) – Specifies the maximum level to be rendered. Also specifies the maximum level used in the kd-Tree construction. Defaults to None (all levels), and only applies if use_kd=True. no_ghost (bool, optional) – Optimization option. If True, homogenized bricks will extrapolate out from grid instead of interpolating from ghost zones that have to first be calculated. This can lead to large speed improvements, but at a loss of accuracy/smoothness in resulting image. The effects are less notable when the transfer function is smooth and broad. Default: True data_source (data container, optional) – Optionally specify an arbitrary data source to the volume rendering. All cells not included in the data source will be ignored during ray casting. By default this will get set to ds.all_data().

yt.visualization.volume_rendering.old_camera.off_axis_projection(ds, center, normal_vector, width, resolution, field, weight=None, volume=None, no_ghost=False, interpolated=False, north_vector=None, method='integrate')[source]

Project through a dataset, off-axis, and return the image plane.

This function will accept the necessary items to integrate through a volume at an arbitrary angle and return the integrated field of view to the user. Note that if a weight is supplied, it will multiply the pre-interpolated values together, then create cell-centered values, then interpolate within the cell to conduct the integration.

Parameters: ds (Dataset) – This is the dataset to volume render. center (array_like) – The current ‘center’ of the view port – the focal point for the camera. normal_vector (array_like) – The vector between the camera position and the center. width (float or list of floats) – The current width of the image. If a single float, the volume is cubical, but if not, it is left/right, top/bottom, front/back resolution (int or list of ints) – The number of pixels in each direction. field (string) – The field to project through the volume weight (optional, default None) – If supplied, the field will be pre-multiplied by this, then divided by the integrated value of this field. This returns an average rather than a sum. volume (yt.extensions.volume_rendering.AMRKDTree, optional) – The volume to ray cast through. Can be specified for finer-grained control, but otherwise will be automatically generated. no_ghost (bool, optional) – Optimization option. If True, homogenized bricks will extrapolate out from grid instead of interpolating from ghost zones that have to first be calculated. This can lead to large speed improvements, but at a loss of accuracy/smoothness in resulting image. The effects are less notable when the transfer function is smooth and broad. Default: True interpolated (optional, default False) – If True, the data is first interpolated to vertex-centered data, then tri-linearly interpolated along the ray. Not suggested for quantitative studies. method (string) – The method of projection. Valid methods are: “integrate” with no weight_field specified : integrate the requested field along the line of sight. “integrate” with a weight_field specified : weight the requested field by the weighting field and integrate along the line of sight. “sum” : This method is the same as integrate, except that it does not multiply by a path length when performing the integration, and is just a straight summation of the field along the given axis. WARNING: This should only be used for uniform resolution grid datasets, as other datasets may result in unphysical images. image – An (N,N) array of the final integrated values, in float64 form. array

Examples

>>> image = off_axis_projection(ds, [0.5, 0.5, 0.5], [0.2,0.3,0.4],
0.2, N, "temperature", "density")
