pyneuroml.povray.NeuroML2ToPOVRay module#

A file for converting NeuroML 2 files (including cells & network structure) into POVRay files for 3D rendering

Author: Padraig Gleeson & Matteo Farinella

This file has been developed as part of the neuroConstruct project This work has been funded by the Medical Research Council and Wellcome Trust

Generate a POVRAY image or movie file.

Please see http://www.povray.org/documentation/ and https://wiki.povray.org/content/Main_Page for information on installing and using POVRAY.

This function will generate POVRAY files that you can then run using POVRAY.

Parameters:

  • neuroml_file (str) – path to NeuroML file containing cell/network

  • split (bool) – generate separate files for cells and network

  • background (str) – background for POVRAY rendering

  • movie (bool) – toggle between image and movie rendering

  • inputs (bool) – show locations of inputs also

  • conns (bool) – show connections in networks with lines

  • conn_points (bool) – show end points of connections in network

  • v (bool) – toggle verbose output

  • frames (int) – number of frames to use in movie

  • posx (float) – offset position in x dir (0 is centre, 1 is top)

  • posy (float) – offset position in y dir (0 is centre, 1 is top)

  • posz (float) – offset position in z dir (0 is centre, 1 is top)

  • viewx (float) – offset viewing point in x dir (0 is centre, 1 is top)

  • viewy (float) – offset viewing point in y dir (0 is centre, 1 is top)

  • viewz (float) – offset viewing point in z dir (0 is centre, 1 is top)

  • scalex (float) – scale position from network in x dir

  • scaley (float) – scale position from network in y dir

  • scalez (float) – scale position from network in z dir

  • mindiam (float) – minimum diameter for dendrites/axons (to improve visualisations)

  • plane (bool) – add a 2D plane below cell/network

  • segids (bool) – toggle showing segment ids
