# Makie.BezierPath — Type.

julia

BezierPath(commands::Vector)

Construct a BezierPath with a vector of path commands. The available path commands are

MoveTo
LineTo
CurveTo
EllipticalArc
ClosePath

A BezierPath can be used in certain places in Makie as an alternative to a polygon or a collection of lines, for example as an input to poly or lines, or as a marker for scatter.

The benefit of using a BezierPath is that curves do not need to be converted into a vector of vertices by the user. CairoMakie can use the path commands directly when it writes vector graphics which is more efficient and uses less space than approximating them visually using line segments.

source

# Makie.BezierPath — Method.

julia

BezierPath(svg::AbstractString; fit = false, bbox = nothing, flipy = false, flipx = false, keep_aspect = true)

Construct a BezierPath using a string of SVG path commands. The commands will be parsed first into MoveTo, LineTo, CurveTo, EllipticalArc and ClosePath objects which are then passed to the BezierPath constructor.

If fit === true, the path will be scaled to fit into a square of width 1 centered on the origin. If, additionally, bbox is set to some Rect, the path will be fit into this rectangle instead. If you want to use a path as a scatter marker, it is usually good to fit it so that it's centered and of a comparable size relative to other scatter markers.

If flipy === true or flipx === true, the respective dimensions of the path will be flipped. Makie uses a coordinate system where y=0 is at the bottom and y increases upwards while in SVG, y=0 is at the top and y increases downwards, so for most SVG paths flipy = true will be needed.

If keep_aspect === true, the path will be fit into the bounding box such that its longer dimension fits and the other one is scaled to retain the original aspect ratio. If you set keep_aspect = false, the new boundingbox of the path will be the one it is fit to, but note that this can result in a squished appearance.

Example

Construct a triangular BezierPath out of a path command string and use it as a scatter marker:

julia

str = "M 0,0 L 10,0 L 5,10 z"
bp = BezierPath(str, fit = true)
scatter(1:10, marker = bp, markersize = 20)

# Makie.Camera3D — Method.

julia

Camera3D(scene[; kwargs...])

Sets up a 3D camera with mouse and keyboard controls.

The behavior of the camera can be adjusted via keyword arguments or the fields settings and controls.

Settings

Settings include anything that isn't a mouse or keyboard button.

projectiontype = Perspective sets the type of the projection. Can be Orthographic or Perspective.
rotation_center = :lookat sets the default center for camera rotations. Currently allows :lookat or :eyeposition.
fixed_axis = true: If true panning uses the (world/plot) z-axis instead of the camera up direction.
zoom_shift_lookat = true: If true keeps the data under the cursor when zooming.
cad = false: If true rotates the view around lookat when zooming off-center.
clipping_mode = :adaptive: Controls how near and far get processed. Options:
- :static passes near and far as is
- :adaptive scales near by norm(eyeposition - lookat) and passes far as is
- :view_relative scales near and far by norm(eyeposition - lookat)
- :bbox_relative scales near and far to the scene bounding box as passed to the camera with update_cam!(..., bbox). (More specifically far = 1 is scaled to the furthest point of a bounding sphere and near is generally overwritten to be the closest point.)
center = true: Controls whether the camera placement gets reset when calling center!(scene), which is called when a new plot is added.
keyboard_rotationspeed = 1.0 sets the speed of keyboard based rotations.
keyboard_translationspeed = 0.5 sets the speed of keyboard based translations.
keyboard_zoomspeed = 1.0 sets the speed of keyboard based zooms.
mouse_rotationspeed = 1.0 sets the speed of mouse rotations.
mouse_translationspeed = 0.5 sets the speed of mouse translations.
mouse_zoomspeed = 1.0 sets the speed of mouse zooming (mousewheel).
update_rate = 1/30 sets the rate at which keyboard based camera updates are evaluated.
circular_rotation = (true, true, true) enables circular rotations for (fixed x, fixed y, fixed z) rotation axis. (This means drawing a circle with your mouse around the center of the scene will result in a continuous rotation.)

Controls

Controls include any kind of hotkey setting.

up_key = Keyboard.r sets the key for translations towards the top of the screen.
down_key = Keyboard.f sets the key for translations towards the bottom of the screen.
left_key = Keyboard.a sets the key for translations towards the left of the screen.
right_key = Keyboard.d sets the key for translations towards the right of the screen.
forward_key = Keyboard.w sets the key for translations into the screen.
backward_key = Keyboard.s sets the key for translations out of the screen.
zoom_in_key = Keyboard.u sets the key for zooming into the scene (translate eyeposition towards lookat).
zoom_out_key = Keyboard.o sets the key for zooming out of the scene (translate eyeposition away from lookat).
increase_fov_key = Keyboard.b sets the key for increasing the fov.
decrease_fov_key = Keyboard.n sets the key for decreasing the fov.
pan_left_key = Keyboard.j sets the key for rotations around the screens vertical axis.
pan_right_key = Keyboard.l sets the key for rotations around the screens vertical axis.
tilt_up_key = Keyboard.i sets the key for rotations around the screens horizontal axis.
tilt_down_key = Keyboard.k sets the key for rotations around the screens horizontal axis.
roll_clockwise_key = Keyboard.e sets the key for rotations of the screen.
roll_counterclockwise_key = Keyboard.q sets the key for rotations of the screen.
fix_x_key = Keyboard.x sets the key for fixing translations and rotations to the (world/plot) x-axis.
fix_y_key = Keyboard.y sets the key for fixing translations and rotations to the (world/plot) y-axis.
fix_z_key = Keyboard.z sets the key for fixing translations and rotations to the (world/plot) z-axis.
reset = Keyboard.left_control & Mouse.left sets the key for resetting the camera. This equivalent to calling center!(scene).
reposition_button = Keyboard.left_alt & Mouse.left sets the key for focusing the camera on a plot object.
translation_button = Mouse.right sets the mouse button for drag-translations. (up/down/left/right)
scroll_mod = true sets an additional modifier button for scroll-based zoom. (true being neutral)
rotation_button = Mouse.left sets the mouse button for drag-rotations. (pan, tilt)

Other kwargs

Some keyword arguments are used to initialize fields. These include

eyeposition = Vec3d(3): The position of the camera.
lookat = Vec3d(0): The point the camera is focused on.
upvector = Vec3d(0, 0, 1): The world direction corresponding to the up direction of the screen.
fov = 45.0 is the field of view. This is irrelevant if the camera uses an orthographic projection.
near = automatic sets the position of the near clip plane. Anything between the camera and the near clip plane is hidden. Must be greater 0. Usage depends on clipping_mode.
far = automatic sets the position of the far clip plane. Anything further away than the far clip plane is hidden. Usage depends on clipping_mode. Defaults to 1 for clipping_mode = :bbox_relative, 2 for :view_relative or a value derived from limits for :static.

Note that updating these observables in an active camera requires a call to update_cam(scene) for them to be applied. For updating eyeposition, lookat and/or upvector update_cam!(scene, eyeposition, lookat, upvector = Vec3d(0,0,1)) is preferred.

The camera position and orientation can also be adjusted via the functions

translate_cam!(scene, v) will translate the camera by the given world/plot space vector v.
rotate_cam!(scene, angles) will rotate the camera around its axes with the corresponding angles. The first angle will rotate around the cameras "right" that is the screens horizontal axis, the second around the up vector/vertical axis or Vec3d(0, 0, +-1) if fixed_axis = true, and the third will rotate around the view direction i.e. the axis out of the screen. The rotation respects the current rotation_center of the camera.
zoom!(scene, zoom_step) will change the zoom level of the scene without translating or rotating the scene. zoom_step applies multiplicatively to cam.zoom_mult which is used as a multiplier to the fov (perspective projection) or width and height (orthographic projection).

EllipticalArc(cx::Real, cy::Real, r1::Real, r2::Real, angle::Real, a1::Real, a2::Real)

A path command for use within a BezierPath which continues the current subpath with an elliptical arc. The ellipse is centered at c and has two radii, r1 and r2, the orientation of which depends on angle.

If angle == 0, r1 goes in x direction and r2 in y direction. A positive angle in radians rotates the ellipse counterclockwise, and a negative angle clockwise.

The angles a1 and a2 are the start and stop positions of the arc on the ellipse. A value of 0 is where the radius r1 points to, pi/2 is where the radius r2 points to, and so on. If a2 > a1, the arc turns counterclockwise. If a1 > a2, it turns clockwise.

If the last position of the subpath does not equal the start of the arc, the resulting path will have an implicit line segment between the two.

# Makie.Exclusively — Type.

julia

Exclusively(x)

Marks a button, button collection or logical expression of buttons as the exclusive subset of buttons that must be pressed for ispressed to return true.

# Makie.LineTo — Type.

julia

LineTo(p::VecTypes)
LineTo(x::Real, y::Real)

A path command for use within a BezierPath which continues the current subpath with a line to the given point.

source

# Makie.LinearTicks — Type.

LinearTicks with ideally a number of n_ideal tick marks.

source

# Makie.Linestyle — Type.

julia

Linestyle(value::Vector{<:Real})

A type that can be used as value for the linestyle keyword argument of plotting functions to arbitrarily customize the linestyle.

The value is a vector specifying the boundaries of the dashes in the line. Values 1 and 2 demarcate the first dash, values 2 and 3 the first gap, and so on. This means that usually, a pattern should have an odd number of values so that there's always a gap after a dash.

Here's an example in ASCII code. If we specify [0, 3, 6, 11, 16] then we get the following pattern:

#  0  3   6   11   16  3  6   11
#   ---   -----     ---   -----

Makie.Menu — Type.

Makie.Menu <: Block

A drop-down menu with multiple selectable options. You can pass options with the keyword argument options.

Options are given as an iterable of elements. For each element, the option label in the menu is determined with optionlabel(element) and the option value with optionvalue(element). These functions can be overloaded for custom types. The default is that tuples of two elements are expected to be label and value, where string(label) is used as the label, while for all other objects, label = string(object) and value = object.

When an item is selected in the menu, the menu's selection attribute is set to optionvalue(selected_element). When nothing is selected, that value is nothing.

You can set the initial selection by passing one of the labels with the default keyword.

Constructors

julia

Menu(fig_or_scene; default = nothing, kwargs...)

Examples

Menu with string entries, second preselected:

julia

menu1 = Menu(fig[1, 1], options = ["first", "second", "third"], default = "second")

Menu with two-element entries, label and function:

julia

funcs = [sin, cos, tan]
labels = ["Sine", "Cosine", "Tangens"]

menu2 = Menu(fig[1, 1], options = zip(labels, funcs))

Executing a function when a selection is made:

julia

on(menu2.selection) do selected_function
    # do something with the selected function
end

VideoStream(fig::FigureLike;
        format="mp4", framerate=24, compression=nothing, profile=nothing, pixel_format=nothing, loop=nothing,
        loglevel="quiet", visible=false, connect=false, backend=current_backend(),
        screen_config...)

Returns a VideoStream which can pipe new frames into the ffmpeg process with few allocations via recordframe!(stream). When done, use save(path, stream) to write the video out to a file.

Arguments

Video options

format = "mkv": The format of the video. If a path is present, will be inferred from the file extension. Can be one of the following:
- "mkv" (open standard, the default)
- "mp4" (good for Web, most supported format)
- "webm" (smallest file size)
- "gif" (largest file size for the same quality)
mp4 and mk4 are marginally bigger than webm. gifs can be significantly (as much as 6x) larger with worse quality (due to the limited color palette) and only should be used as a last resort, for playing in a context where videos aren't supported.
framerate = 24: The target framerate.
compression = 20: Controls the video compression via ffmpeg's -crf option, with smaller numbers giving higher quality and larger file sizes (lower compression), and higher numbers giving lower quality and smaller file sizes (higher compression). The minimum value is 0 (lossless encoding).
- For mp4, 51 is the maximum. Note that compression = 0 only works with mp4 if
profile = "high444".
- For webm, 63 is the maximum.
- compression has no effect on mkv and gif outputs.
profile = "high422": A ffmpeg compatible profile. Currently only applies to mp4. If

you have issues playing a video, try profile = "high" or profile = "main".

pixel_format = "yuv420p": A ffmpeg compatible pixel format (-pix_fmt). Currently only

applies to mp4. Defaults to yuv444p for profile = "high444".

loop = 0: Number of times the video is repeated, for a gif or html output. Defaults to 0, which

means infinite looping. A value of -1 turns off looping, and a value of n > 0 means n repetitions (i.e. the video is played n+1 times) when supported by backend.

!!! warning
`profile` and `pixel_format` are only used when `format` is `"mp4"`; a warning will be issued if `format`
is not `"mp4"` and those two arguments are not `nothing`. Similarly, `compression` is only
valid when `format` is `"mp4"` or `"webm"`.

Backend options

backend=current_backend(): backend used to record frames
visible=false: make window visible or not
connect=false: connect window events or not
screen_config...: See ?Backend.Screen or Base.doc(Backend.Screen) for applicable options that can be passed and forwarded to the backend.

WilkinsonTicks(
    k_ideal::Int;
    k_min = 2, k_max = 10,
    Q = [(1.0, 1.0), (5.0, 0.9), (2.0, 0.7), (2.5, 0.5), (3.0, 0.2)],
    granularity_weight = 1/4,
    simplicity_weight = 1/6,
    coverage_weight = 1/3,
    niceness_weight = 1/4
)

WilkinsonTicks is a thin wrapper over PlotUtils.optimize_ticks, the docstring of which is reproduced below:

optimize_ticks(xmin, xmax; extend_ticks::Bool = false, Q = [(1.0,1.0), (5.0, 0.9), (2.0, 0.7), (2.5, 0.5), (3.0, 0.2)], k_min = 2, k_max = 10, k_ideal = 5, granularity_weight = 1/4, simplicity_weight = 1/6, coverage_weight = 1/3, niceness_weight = 1/4, strict_span = true, span_buffer = nothing)

Find some reasonable values for tick marks.

This is basically Wilkinson's ad-hoc scoring method that tries to balance tight fit around the data, optimal number of ticks, and simple numbers.

Arguments:

xmax: The maximum value occurring in the data.
xmin: The minimum value occurring in the data.
extend_ticks: Determines whether to extend tick computation. Defaults to false.
strict_span: True if no ticks should be outside [x_min, x_max]. Defaults to true.
Q: A distribution of nice numbers from which labellings are sampled. Stored in the form (number, score).
k_min: The minimum number of ticks.
k_max: The maximum number of ticks.
k_ideal: The ideal number of ticks.
granularity_weight: Encourages returning roughly the number of labels requested.
simplicity_weight: Encourages nicer labeling sequences by preferring step sizes that appear earlier in Q. Also rewards labelings that include 0 as a way to ground the sequence.
coverage_weight: Encourages labelings that do not extend far beyond the range of the data, penalizing unnecessary whitespace.
niceness_weight: Encourages labellings to produce nice ranges.

Returns:

(ticklocations::Vector{Float64}, x_min, x_max)

Mathematical details

Wilkinson’s optimization function is defined as the sum of three components. If the user requests m labels and a possible labeling has k labels, then the components are simplicity, coverage and granularity.

These components are defined as follows:

\begin{aligned} &\text{simplicity} = 1 - \frac{i}{|Q|} + \frac{v}{|Q|}
&\text{coverage} = \frac{x_{max} - x_{min}}{\mathrm{label}{max} - \mathrm{label}{min}}
&\text{granularity}= 1 - \frac{\left|k - m\right|}{m} \end{aligned} $

and the variables here are:

q: element of Q.
i: index of q ∈ Q.
v: 1 if label range includes 0, 0 otherwise.

WGLMakie: .png

Supported Keyword Arguments

All Backends

size: (width::Int, height::Int) of the scene in dimensionless units.
update: Whether the figure should be updated before saving. This resets the limits of all Axes in the figure. Defaults to true.
backend: Specify the Makie backend that should be used for saving. Defaults to the current backend.
px_per_unit: The size of one scene unit in px when exporting to a bitmap format. This provides a mechanism to export the same scene with higher or lower resolution.
Further keywords will be forwarded to the screen.

CairoMakie

pt_per_unit: The size of one scene unit in pt when exporting to a vector format.

source

# FileIO.save — Method.

julia

save(path::String, io::VideoStream)

Flushes the video stream and saves it to path. Ideally, path's file extension is the same as the format that the VideoStream was created with (e.g., if created with format "mp4" then path's file extension must be ".mp4"). Otherwise, the video will get converted to the target format. If using record then this is handled for you, as the VideoStream's format is deduced from the file extension of the path passed to record.

Attributes

alpha = 1.0 — The alpha value of the colormap or color attribute. Multiple alphas like in plot(alpha=0.2, color=(:red, 0.5), will get multiplied.

color = @inherit linecolor — The color of the line.

colormap = @inherit colormap :viridis — Sets the colormap that is sampled for numeric colors. PlotUtils.cgrad(...), Makie.Reverse(any_colormap) can be used as well, or any symbol from ColorBrewer or PlotUtils. To see all available color gradients, you can call Makie.available_gradients().

colorrange = automatic — The values representing the start and end points of colormap.

colorscale = identity — The color transform function. Can be any function, but only works well together with Colorbar for identity, log, log2, log10, sqrt, logit, Makie.pseudolog10 and Makie.Symlog10.

cycle = [:color] — Sets which attributes to cycle when creating multiple plots.

depth_shift = 0.0 — adjusts the depth value of a plot after all other transformations, i.e. in clip space, where 0 <= depth <= 1. This only applies to GLMakie and WGLMakie and can be used to adjust render order (like a tunable overdraw).

fxaa = false — adjusts whether the plot is rendered with fxaa (anti-aliasing, GLMakie only).

highclip = automatic — The color for any value above the colorrange.

inspectable = true — sets whether this plot should be seen by DataInspector.

inspector_clear = automatic — Sets a callback function (inspector, plot) -> ... for cleaning up custom indicators in DataInspector.

inspector_hover = automatic — Sets a callback function (inspector, plot, index) -> ... which replaces the default show_data methods.

inspector_label = automatic — Sets a callback function (plot, index, position) -> string which replaces the default label generated by DataInspector.

linecap = @inherit linecap — Sets the type of linecap used, i.e. :butt (flat with no extrusion), :square (flat with 1 linewidth extrusion) or :round.

linestyle = nothing — Sets the dash pattern of the line. Options are :solid (equivalent to nothing), :dot, :dash, :dashdot and :dashdotdot. These can also be given in a tuple with a gap style modifier, either :normal, :dense or :loose. For example, (:dot, :loose) or (:dashdot, :dense).

For custom patterns have a look at Makie.Linestyle.

linewidth = @inherit linewidth — Sets the width of the line in pixel units

lowclip = automatic — The color for any value below the colorrange.

model = automatic — Sets a model matrix for the plot. This overrides adjustments made with translate!, rotate! and scale!.

nan_color = :transparent — The color for NaN values.

overdraw = false — Controls if the plot will draw over other plots. This specifically means ignoring depth checks in GL backends

space = :data — sets the transformation space for box encompassing the plot. See Makie.spaces() for possible inputs.

ssao = false — Adjusts whether the plot is rendered with ssao (screen space ambient occlusion). Note that this only makes sense in 3D plots and is only applicable with fxaa = true.

transformation = automatic — No docs available.

transparency = false — Adjusts how the plot deals with transparency. In GLMakie transparency = true results in using Order Independent Transparency.

visible = true — Controls whether the plot will be rendered or not.

markerspace = :pixel — Sets the space in which fontsize acts. See Makie.spaces() for possible inputs.

model = automatic — Sets a model matrix for the plot. This overrides adjustments made with translate!, rotate! and scale!.

nan_color = :transparent — The color for NaN values.

offset = (0.0, 0.0) — The offset of the text from the given position in markerspace units.

overdraw = false — Controls if the plot will draw over other plots. This specifically means ignoring depth checks in GL backends

position = (0.0, 0.0) — Deprecated: Specifies the position of the text. Use the positional argument to text instead.

rotation = 0.0 — Rotates text around the given position

space = :data — sets the transformation space for box encompassing the plot. See Makie.spaces() for possible inputs.

ssao = false — Adjusts whether the plot is rendered with ssao (screen space ambient occlusion). Note that this only makes sense in 3D plots and is only applicable with fxaa = true.

strokecolor = (:black, 0.0) — Sets the color of the outline around a marker.

strokewidth = 0 — Sets the width of the outline around a marker.

text = "" — Specifies one piece of text or a vector of texts to show, where the number has to match the number of positions given. Makie supports String which is used for all normal text and LaTeXString which layouts mathematical expressions using MathTeXEngine.jl.

transform_marker = false — Controls whether the model matrix (without translation) applies to the glyph itself, rather than just the positions. (If this is true, scale! and rotate! will affect the text glyphs.)

transformation = automatic — No docs available.

transparency = false — Adjusts how the plot deals with transparency. In GLMakie transparency = true results in using Order Independent Transparency.

visible = true — Controls whether the plot will be rendered or not.

word_wrap_width = -1 — Specifies a linewidth limit for text. If a word overflows this limit, a newline is inserted before it. Negative numbers disable word wrapping.

# Makie.arc — Function.

julia

arc(origin, radius, start_angle, stop_angle; kwargs...)

This function plots a circular arc, centered at origin with radius radius, from start_angle to stop_angle. origin must be a coordinate in 2 dimensions (i.e., a Point2); the rest of the arguments must be <: Number.

Examples:

arc(Point2f(0), 1, 0.0, π) arc(Point2f(1, 2), 0.3, π, -π)

Plot type

The plot type alias for the arc function is Arc.
