ImageAnimator

class mpl_animators.ImageAnimator(data, image_axes=[-2, -1], axis_ranges=None, **kwargs)

Bases: ArrayAnimator

Create a matplotlib backend independent data explorer for 2D images.

The following keyboard shortcuts are defined in the viewer:

• ‘left’: previous step on active slider.

• ‘right’: next step on active slider.

• ‘top’: change the active slider up one.

• ‘bottom’: change the active slider down one.

• ‘p’: play/pause active slider.

This viewer can have user defined buttons added by specifying the labels and functions called when those buttons are clicked as keyword arguments.

Parameters:

• data (numpy.ndarray) – The data to be visualized.

• image_axes (list, optional) – A list of the axes order that make up the image.

• axis_ranges (list of physical coordinates for the numpy.ndarray, optional) – Defaults to None and array indices will be used for all axes. The list should contain one element for each axis of the numpy.ndarray. For the image axes a [min, max] pair should be specified which will be passed to matplotlib.pyplot.imshow as an extent. For the slider axes a [min, max] pair can be specified or an array the same length as the axis which will provide all values for that slider.

Notes

Extra keywords are passed to ArrayAnimator.
