vispy.visuals.colorbar module

class vispy.visuals.colorbar.ColorBarVisual(cmap, orientation, size, pos=[0, 0], label='', label_color='black', clim=(0.0, 1.0), border_width=1.0, border_color='black')

Bases: CompoundVisual

Visual subclass displaying a colorbar

Parameters:

cmapstr | vispy.color.ColorMap

Either the name of the ColorMap to be used from the standard set of names (refer to vispy.color.get_colormap), or a custom ColorMap object. The ColorMap is used to apply a gradient on the colorbar.

orientation{‘left’, ‘right’, ‘top’, ‘bottom’}

The orientation of the colorbar, used for rendering. The orientation can be thought of as the position of the label relative to the color bar.

When the orientation is ‘left’ or ‘right’, the colorbar is vertically placed. When it is ‘top’ or ‘bottom’, the colorbar is horizontally placed.

• ‘top’: the colorbar is horizontal. Color is applied from left to right. Minimum corresponds to left and maximum to right. Label is to the top of the colorbar

• ‘bottom’: Same as top, except that label is to the bottom of the colorbar

• ‘left’: the colorbar is vertical. Color is applied from bottom to top. Minimum corresponds to bottom and maximum to top. Label is to the left of the colorbar

• ‘right’: Same as left, except that the label is placed to the right of the colorbar

size(major_axis_length, minor_axis_length)

lengths with respect to the major and minor axes. The minor axis is the shorter axis, while the major axis is the longer axis with respect to the orientation

For orientations ‘top’ and ‘bottom’, the major axis is along the length.

For orientations ‘left’ and ‘right’, the major axis is along the breadth

postuple (x, y)

Position where the colorbar is to be placed with respect to the center of the colorbar

labelstr | vispy.visuals.TextVisual

The label that is to be drawn with the colorbar that provides information about the colorbar. If a TextVisual object then ‘label_color’ is ignored.

label_colorstr | vispy.color.Color

The color of the label and tick labels. This can either be a str as the color’s name or an actual instace of a vipy.color.Color

climtuple (min, max)

the minimum and maximum values of the data that is given to the colorbar. This is used to draw the scale on the side of the colorbar.

border_widthfloat (in px)

The width of the border the colormap should have. This measurement is given in pixels

border_colorstr | vispy.color.Color

The color of the border of the colormap. This can either be a str as the color’s name or an actual instace of a vipy.color.Color

.. versionchanged:: 0.7

Keyword argument label_str renamed to label.

property border_color

The color of the border around the ColorBar in pixels

property border_width

The width of the border around the ColorBar in pixels

property clim

The data limits of the Colorbar

Returns:

clim: tuple(min, max)

property cmap

The colormap of the Colorbar

property label

The vispy.visuals.TextVisual associated with the label

property orientation

The orientation of the ColorBar

property pos

The position of the text anchor in the local coordinate frame

property size

The size of the ColorBar

Returns:

size: (major_axis_length, minor_axis_length)

major and minor axis are defined by the orientation of the ColorBar

text_padding_factor = 1.05

property ticks

The vispy.visuals.TextVisual associated with the ticks

Returns:

ticks: [vispy.visual.TextVisual]

The array is of length 2
