StackView
: Plot a stack of images¶
QWidget displaying a 3D volume as a stack of 2D images.
The StackView
class implements this widget.
Basic usage of StackView
is through the following methods:
StackView.getColormap()
,StackView.setColormap()
to update the default colormap to use and update the currently displayed image.StackView.setStack()
to update the displayed image.
The StackView
uses PlotWindow
and also
exposes a subset of the silx.gui.plot.Plot
API for further control
(plot title, axes labels, …).
The StackViewMainWindow
class implements a widget that adds a status
bar displaying the 3D index and the value under the mouse cursor.
Example:
import numpy
import sys
from silx.gui import qt
from silx.gui.plot.StackView import StackViewMainWindow
app = qt.QApplication(sys.argv[1:])
# synthetic data, stack of 100 images of size 200x300
mystack = numpy.fromfunction(
lambda i, j, k: numpy.sin(i/15.) + numpy.cos(j/4.) + 2 * numpy.sin(k/6.),
(100, 200, 300)
)
sv = StackViewMainWindow()
sv.setColormap("jet", autoscale=True)
sv.setStack(mystack)
sv.setLabels(["1st dim (0-99)", "2nd dim (0-199)",
"3rd dim (0-299)"])
sv.show()
app.exec_()

valueChanged
¶ Signals that the data value under the cursor has changed.
It provides: row, column, data value.
-
sigPlaneSelectionChanged
¶ Signal emitted when there is a change is perspective/displayed axes.
It provides the perspective as an integer, with the following meaning:
- 0: axis Y is the 2nd dimension, axis X is the 3rd dimension
- 1: axis Y is the 1st dimension, axis X is the 3rd dimension
- 2: axis Y is the 1st dimension, axis X is the 2nd dimension
-
sigStackChanged
¶ Signal emitted when the stack is changed. This happens when a new volume is loaded, or when the current volume is transposed (change in perspective).
The signal provides the size (number of pixels) of the stack. This will be 0 if the stack is cleared, else it will be a positive integer.
-
sigFrameChanged
¶ Signal emitter when the frame number has changed.
This signal provides the current frame number.
-
getPerspective
()[source]¶ Returns the index of the dimension the stack is browsed with
Possible values are: 0, 1, or 2.
Return type: int
-
setPerspective
(perspective)[source]¶ Set the index of the dimension the stack is browsed with:
- slice plane Dim1-Dim2: perspective 0
- slice plane Dim0-Dim2: perspective 1
- slice plane Dim0-Dim1: perspective 2
Parameters: perspective (int) – Orthogonal dimension number (0, 1, or 2)
-
getCalibrations
(order='array')[source]¶ Returns currently used calibrations for each axis
Returned calibrations might differ from the ones that were set as non-linear calibrations used for image axes are temporarily ignored.
Parameters: order (str) – ‘array’ to sort calibrations as data array (dim0, dim1, dim2), ‘axes’ to sort calibrations as currently selected x, y and z axes. Returns: Calibrations ordered depending on order Return type: List[AbstractCalibration]
-
setStack
(stack, perspective=None, reset=True, calibrations=None)[source]¶ Set the 3D stack.
The perspective parameter is used to define which dimension of the 3D array is to be used as frame index. The lowest remaining dimension number is the row index of the displayed image (Y axis), and the highest remaining dimension is the column index (X axis).
Parameters: - stack (3D numpy.ndarray, or 3D h5py.Dataset, or list/tuple of 2D numpy arrays, or None.) – 3D stack, or None to clear plot.
- perspective (int) – Dimension for the frame index: 0, 1 or 2.
Use
None
to keep the current perspective (default). - reset (bool) – Whether to reset zoom or not.
- calibrations – Sequence of 3 calibration objects for each axis.
These objects can be a subclass of
AbstractCalibration
, or 2-tuples (a, b) where a is the y-intercept and b is the slope of a linear calibration (\(x \mapsto a + b x\))
-
getStack
(copy=True, returnNumpyArray=False)[source]¶ Get the original stack, as a 3D array or dataset.
The output has the form: [data, params] where params is a dictionary containing display parameters.
Parameters: - copy (bool) – If True (default), then the object is copied and returned as a numpy array. Else, a reference to original data is returned, if possible. If the original data is not a numpy array and parameter returnNumpyArray is True, a copy will be made anyway.
- returnNumpyArray (bool) – If True, the returned object is guaranteed to be a numpy array.
Returns: 3D stack and parameters.
Return type: (numpy.ndarray, dict)
-
getCurrentView
(copy=True, returnNumpyArray=False)[source]¶ Get the stack, as it is currently displayed.
The first index of the returned stack is always the frame index. If the perspective has been changed in the widget since the data was first loaded, this will be reflected in the order of the dimensions of the returned object.
The output has the form: [data, params] where params is a dictionary containing display parameters.
Parameters: - copy (bool) – If True (default), then the object is copied and returned as a numpy array. Else, a reference to original data is returned, if possible. If the original data is not a numpy array and parameter returnNumpyArray is True, a copy will be made anyway.
- returnNumpyArray (bool) – If True, the returned object is guaranteed to be a numpy array.
Returns: 3D stack and parameters.
Return type: (numpy.ndarray, dict)
-
setFrameNumber
(number)[source]¶ Set the frame selection to a specific value
Parameters: number (int) – Number of the frame
-
getFrameNumber
()[source]¶ Set the frame selection to a specific value
Returns: Index of currently displayed frame Return type: int
-
setFirstStackDimension
(first_stack_dimension)[source]¶ When viewing the last 3 dimensions of an n-D array (n>3), you can use this method to change the text in the combobox.
For instance, for a 7-D array, first stack dim is 4, so the default “Dim1-Dim2” text should be replaced with “Dim5-Dim6” (dimensions numbers are 0-based).
Parameters: first_stack_dim (int) – First stack dimension (n-3) when viewing the last 3 dimensions of an n-D array.
-
setTitleCallback
(callback)[source]¶ Set a user defined function to generate the plot title based on the image/frame index.
The callback function must accept an integer as a its first positional parameter and must not require any other mandatory parameter. It must return a string.
To switch back the default behavior, you can pass
None
:mystackview.setTitleCallback(None)
To have no title, pass a function that returns an empty string:
mystackview.setTitleCallback(lambda idx: "")
Parameters: callback – Callback function generating the stack title based on the frame number.
-
setLabels
(labels=None)[source]¶ Set the labels to be displayed on the plot axes.
You must provide a sequence of 3 strings, corresponding to the 3 dimensions of the original data volume. The proper label will automatically be selected for each plot axis when the volume is rotated (when different axes are selected as the X and Y axes).
Parameters: labels (List[str]) – 3 labels corresponding to the 3 dimensions of the data volumes.
-
getLabels
()[source]¶ Return dimension labels displayed on the plot axes
Returns: List of three strings corresponding to the 3 dimensions of the stack: (name_dim0, name_dim1, name_dim2)

.
-
setColormap
(colormap=None, normalization=None, autoscale=None, vmin=None, vmax=None, colors=None)[source]¶ Set the colormap and update active image.
