brainrender
can be used with Jupyter notebooks in two ways:
you can embed a window with your rendered scene
you can have your scene be rendered in a pop-up window.
If you want your scene to be rendered in a new window, then set this option before you create your Scene
.
import vedo vedo.settings.default_backend= 'vtk'
After this everything will work exactly the same as usual, and you will have access to all of brainrender
’s features. E.g. to visualise primary visual cortex in the Allen Adult Mouse Brain Atlas:
import vedo vedo.settings.default_backend= 'vtk' from brainrender import Scene popup_scene = Scene(atlas_name='allen_mouse_50um', title='popup') popup_scene.add_brain_region('VISp') popup_scene.render() # press 'Esc' to closeEmbedding renderings in Jupyter notebooks#
Hint
When embedding renderings in Jupyter Notebook not all of brainrender
’s functionality will work! If you want to support all of brainrender
’s features you should not embed renderings in the notebooks.
Note that this is due to the backend (k3d
) used to embed the renderings not because of brainrender
.
If you still need to embed your Scene
then brainrender
works slightly differently. E.g. to visualise the tectum in the larval zebrafish atlas:
# Set the backend import vedo vedo.settings.default_backend= 'k3d' # Create a brainrender scene from brainrender import Scene scene = Scene(atlas_name='mpin_zfish_1um', title='Embedded') # note the title will not actually display scene.add_brain_region('tectum') # Make sure it gets embedded in the window scene.jupyter = True # scene.render now will prepare the scene for rendering, but it won't render anything yet scene.render() # To display the scene we use `vedo`'s `show` method to show the scene's actors from vedo import Plotter # <- this will be used to render an embedded scene plt = Plotter() plt.show(*scene.renderables) # same as vedo.show(*scene.renderables)
Hint
As with all BrainGlobe tools, if you do not have these atlases locally, the first time you run the commands it may be slow as the data is downloaded.
