show#

Session.show(what: str = 'image', width: int | None = None, height: int | None = None, temporal: bool = False, aa: int = 4, fps: float = 30.0, num_frames: int | None = None, ui: str | None = 'simple') → renderable.Renderable#

Capture the current EnSight scene or otherwise make it available for display in a web browser.

This method generates the appropriate visuals and returns the renderable object for viewing. If the session is in a Jupyter notebook, the cell in which the show() method is issued is updated with the renderable display.

Parameters:

whatstr, optional

Type of scene display to generate. The default is "image". Options are:

image: Simple rendered PNG image
deep_pixel: EnSight deep pixel image
animation: MPEG4 movie
webgl: Interactive WebGL-based browser viewer
remote: Remote rendering-based interactive EnSight viewer
remote_scene: Remote rendering-based interactive EnSight viewer

widthint, optional

Width of the rendered entity. The default is None.

heightint, optional

Height of the rendered entity. The default is None.

temporalbool, optional

Whether to include all timesteps in WebGL views. The default is False.

aaint, optional

Number of antialiasing passes to use when rendering images. The default is 4.

fpsfloat, optional

Number of frames per second to use for animation playback. The default is 30.

num_framesint, optional

Number of frames of static timestep to record for animation playback.

Returns:

renderable.Renderable

Raises:

RuntimeError: If it is not possible to generate the content.

Examples

Render an image and display it in a browser. Rotate the scene and update the display.

>>> image = session.show('image', width=800, height=600)
>>> image.browser()
>>> session.ensight.view_transf.rotate(30, 30, 0)
>>> image.update()
>>> image.browser()
