vispy.visuals.line.line module#

Line visual implementing Agg- and GL-based drawing modes.

class vispy.visuals.line.line.LineVisual(pos=None, color=(0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 1), width=1, connect='strip', method='gl', antialias=False)#

Bases: CompoundVisual

Line visual

Parameters:

posarray

Array of shape (…, 2) or (…, 3) specifying vertex coordinates.

colorColor, tuple, or array

The color to use when drawing the line. If an array is given, it must be of shape (…, 4) and provide one rgba color per vertex. Can also be a colormap name, or appropriate Function.

width:

The width of the line in px. Line widths > 1px are only guaranteed to work when using ‘agg’ method.

connectstr or array

Determines which vertices are connected by lines.

“strip” causes the line to be drawn with each vertex connected to the next.

“segments” causes each pair of vertices to draw an independent line segment

numpy arrays specify the exact set of segment pairs to connect.

methodstr

Mode to use for drawing.

“agg” uses anti-grain geometry to draw nicely antialiased lines with proper joins and endcaps.

“gl” uses OpenGL’s built-in line rendering. This is much faster, but produces much lower-quality results and is not guaranteed to obey the requested line width or join/endcap styles.

antialiasbool

Enables or disables antialiasing. For method=’gl’, this specifies whether to use GL’s line smoothing, which may be unavailable or inconsistent on some platforms.
