    • vtkplotter.Volume

    • ImageJ / Fiji / ImageJ2 images

    • Additional NumPy array-like objects

    • NumPy array point sets

    • itk.PointSet

    • vtk.vtkPolyData point sets

    • pyvista.PolyData point sets

    • itk.Mesh

    • itk.PolyLineParametricPath

    • vtk.vtkPolyData

    • vtk.vtkStructuredGrid

    • vtk.vtkUnstructuredGrid

  • Combine with other ipywidgets to quickly create graphical interfaces that interactively provide insights into data algorithms

itkwidgets demo

These widgets are designed to support spatial analysis with the Insight Toolkit (ITK), but they work equally well with other spatial analysis tools in the scientific Python ecosystem.

These widgets are built on itk.js and vtk.js.

Examples on Binder

Tasks:

Installation

To install the widgets for the Jupyter Notebook with pip:

pip install itkwidgets

or with conda:

conda install -c conda-forge itkwidgets

For Jupyter Lab, additionally run:

jupyter labextension install @jupyter-widgets/jupyterlab-manager jupyter-matplotlib jupyterlab-datawidgets itkwidgets

Usage

In Jupyter, import the view function:

from itkwidgets import view

Then, call the view function at the end of a cell, passing in the image to examine:

view(image)

For information on additional options, see the view function docstring:

view?

Other available widgets:

  • itkwidgets.line_profile: Plot an intensity line profile.

  • itkwidgets.checkerboard: Compare two images in a checkerboard pattern.

Advanced Usage

The itkwidgets are based on ipywidgets. As a consequence, widgets traits can be queried, assigned, or observed with the viewer object returned by the view function. itkwidgets can be combined with other ipywidgets to quickly explore algorithm parameters, create graphical interfaces, or create data visualization dashboards.

Mouse Controls

Left click + drag

Rotate

Right click + drag or shift + left click + drag

Pan

Mouse wheel or control + left click + drag or pinch

Zoom

Alt + left click + drag left-right

Change color transfer function window

Shift + left click + drag top-bottom

Change color transfer function level

Shift + alt + left click + drag top-bottom

Change primary Gaussian volume opacity transfer function magnitude

Keyboard Shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts take effect when the mouse is positioned inside the viewer. All shortcuts are prefixed with Alt+. Corresponding keys for the Dvorak keyboard layout have the same effect.

Alt + 1

X-plane mode

Alt + 2

Y-plane mode

Alt + 3

Z-plane mode

Alt + 4

Volume rendering mode

Alt + q

Toggle user interface

Alt + w

Toggle region of interest (ROI) selection widget

Alt + e

Reset ROI

Alt + r

Reset camera

Alt + s

Toggle slicing planes in volume rendering mode

Alt + f

Toggle fullscreen

Examples

After installation, try the following examples that demonstrate how to visualize:

Troubleshooting

If you experience the notebook warning:

IOPub data rate exceeded.
The notebook server will temporarily stop sending output
to the client in order to avoid crashing it.
To change this limit, set the config variable
`--NotebookApp.iopub_data_rate_limit`.

Set the notebook configuration value:

jupyter notebook --NotebookApp.iopub_data_rate_limit=1e12

Hacking

Participation is welcome! For a development installation (requires Node.js):

git clone https://github.com/InsightSoftwareConsortium/itkwidgets.git
cd itkwidgets
python -m pip install -r requirements-dev.txt -r requirements.txt
python -m pip install -e .
jupyter nbextension install --py --symlink --sys-prefix itkwidgets
jupyter nbextension enable --py --sys-prefix itkwidgets
jupyter nbextension enable --py --sys-prefix widgetsnbextension
python -m pytest

The above commands will setup your system for development with the Jupyter Notebook. To develop for Jupyter Lab, additionally run:

jupyter labextension install @jupyter-widgets/jupyterlab-manager
jupyter labextension install ./js
