class vispy.visuals.scrolling_lines.ScrollingLinesVisual(n_lines, line_size, dx, color=None, pos_offset=None, columns=None, cell_size=None)#

Bases: Visual

Displays many line strips of equal length, with the option to add new vertex data to one end of the lines.

Parameters:
n_linesint

The number of independent line strips to draw.

line_sizeint

The number of samples in each line strip.

dxfloat

The x distance between samples

colorarray-like

An array of colors to assign to each line strip.

pos_offsetarray-like

An array of x, y position offsets to apply to each line strip.

columnsint

Arrange line strips into a grid with this number of columns. This option is not compatible with pos_offset.

cell_sizetuple

The x, y distance between cells in the grid.

roll_data(data)#

Append new data to the right side of every line strip and remove as much data from the left.

Parameters:
dataarray-like

A data array to append.

set_color(color)#

Set the array of colors for each line strip.

Parameters:
colorarray-like

An array of rgba values.

set_data(index, data)#

Set the complete data for a single line strip.

Parameters:
indexint

The index of the line strip to be replaced.

dataarray-like

The data to assign to the selected line strip.

set_pos_offset(po)#

Set the array of position offsets for each line strip.

Parameters:
poarray-like

An array of xy offset values.
