vedo 2020.4.0

Main changes

  • mesh and volume data is moved from the package to vedo.embl.es/examples/data
    https://vedo.embl.es/examples/data/
    they are downloaded on the fly and cached

  • 14 new polygonized 3D fonts are available, making the old vtk default obsolete
    Font: Bongas
    Font: Calco
    Font: Comae
    Font: Glasgo
    Font: Inversionz
    Font: Kanopus
    Font: LionelOfParis
    Font: LogoType (supports Russian, Japanese and Chinese chars)
    Font: Normografo
    Font: Quikhand
    Font: SmartCouric
    Font: Theemim
    Font: VictorMono

    Default font is Normografo, can be changed with e.g.
    settings.useDefaultFont = "Theemim"

    Latex-like syntax is supported in Text() allowing to use Greek and math symbols in axes and plot titles:
    Type vedo -r fonts to generate the above tables.

addons:

  • Ruler(): create a 3D ruler to indicate the distance of two points
  • buildRulerAxes(): a new axis style (7) formed by 3 rulers
  • many improvements to default axis style 1
  • New axis style 11: generates a thin lined square floor

Plotter:

  • show(..., newplotter=True) -> show(..., new=True)
  • added methods: render(), resetCamera() and backgroundColor(c1, c2, at)
  • can now change transparency using arrow keys instead of "m,./"
    Pressing -+ cycles through available axes styles.

utils:

  • added resampleArrays()
  • systemReport()
  • class dotdict: A dictionary supporting dot notation.
  • trimesh2vtk() -> trimesh2vedo() (check @YimingXu1213)
  • vtk2trimesh() -> vedo2trimesh()

io:

  • can now save and load object transformation to .mat file

mesh and pointclouds:

  • coloring with pointColors() and cellColors() is merged into method cmap()
  • meshes can be described by new vignette() and caption()
  • useBounds() tells the camera to keep inot account mesh when resetting
  • added gradient() to return the gradient of the input scalar as numpy array

shapes:

  • convexHull() -> ConvexHull()
  • added VedoLogo() to generate the 3D logo of the package
  • major improvements to Text()

examples:

  • new or updated examples are:
    vedo -r isolines
    vedo -r silhouette2 (thanks to @zhouzq-thu )
    vedo -r meshquality
    vedo -r mesh_smoother2
    vedo -r vpolyscope (needs pip install polyscope)
    vedo -r flag_labels
    vedo -r customAxes
    vedo -r fonts3d
    vedo -r scatter2
    vedo -r scatter3
    vedo -r covid19
    vedo -r caption
