image ​

MakieCore.image Function
julia
image(x, y, image)
image(image)

Plots an image on a rectangle bounded by x and y (defaults to size of image).

Plot type

The plot type alias for the image function is Image.

Examples ​

julia
using CairoMakie
using FileIO

img = load(assetpath("cow.png"))

f = Figure()

image(f[1, 1], img,
    axis = (title = "Default",))

image(f[1, 2], img,
    axis = (aspect = DataAspect(), title = "DataAspect()",))

image(f[2, 1], rotr90(img),
    axis = (aspect = DataAspect(), title = "rotr90",))

image(f[2, 2], img',
    axis = (aspect = DataAspect(), yreversed = true,
        title = "img' and reverse y-axis",))

f

Attributes ​

alpha ​

Defaults to 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.

clip_planes ​

Defaults to automatic

Clip planes offer a way to do clipping in 3D space. You can set a Vector of up to 8 Plane3f planes here, behind which plots will be clipped (i.e. become invisible). By default clip planes are inherited from the parent plot or scene. You can remove parent clip_planes by passing Plane3f[].

colormap ​

Defaults to [:black, :white]

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 ​

Defaults to automatic

The values representing the start and end points of colormap.

colorscale ​

Defaults to 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.

depth_shift ​

Defaults to 0.0

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

fxaa ​

Defaults to false

Adjusts whether the plot is rendered with fxaa (anti-aliasing, GLMakie only).

highclip ​

Defaults to automatic

The color for any value above the colorrange.

inspectable ​

Defaults to @inherit inspectable

Sets whether this plot should be seen by DataInspector. The default depends on the theme of the parent scene.

inspector_clear ​

Defaults to automatic

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

inspector_hover ​

Defaults to automatic

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

inspector_label ​

Defaults to automatic

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

interpolate ​

Defaults to true

Sets whether colors should be interpolated between pixels.

lowclip ​

Defaults to automatic

The color for any value below the colorrange.

model ​

Defaults to automatic

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

nan_color ​

Defaults to :transparent

The color for NaN values.

overdraw ​

Defaults to false

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

space ​

Defaults to :data

Sets the transformation space for box encompassing the plot. See Makie.spaces() for possible inputs.

ssao ​

Defaults to 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 ​

Defaults to :automatic

No docs available.

transparency ​

Defaults to false

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

uv_transform ​

Defaults to automatic

Sets a transform for uv coordinates, which controls how the image is mapped to its rectangular area. The attribute can be I, scale::VecTypes{2}, (translation::VecTypes{2}, scale::VecTypes{2}), any of :rotr90, :rotl90, :rot180, :swap_xy/:transpose, :flip_x, :flip_y, :flip_xy, or most generally a Makie.Mat{2, 3, Float32} or Makie.Mat3f as returned by Makie.uv_transform(). They can also be changed by passing a tuple (op3, op2, op1).

visible ​

Defaults to true

Controls whether the plot will be rendered or not.
