## Overview This is an example importer plugin that lets you view a TFRecord of Events (i.e., Tensorboard log files). It uses the [external importer mechanism](https://www.rerun.io/docs/concepts/logging-and-ingestion/importers/overview#external-importers) to add this capability to the Rerun Viewer without modifying the Viewer itself. This example is written in Python, and uses [TensorFlow](https://www.tensorflow.org/) to read the files. The events are then logged to Rerun. **Note**: Not all events are supported yet. Scalars, images, text, and tensors should work. Unsupported events are skipped. ## Installing the plug-in The [repository](https://github.com/rerun-io/rerun-loader-python-example-tfrecord) has detailed installation instruction. In a nutshell, the easiest is to use `pipx`: ``` pipx install git+https://github.com/rerun-io/rerun-loader-python-example-tfrecord.git pipx ensurepath ``` ## Try it out To try the plug-in, first download an example `xxx.tfevents.xxx` file: ```bash curl -OL https://github.com/rerun-io/rerun-loader-python-example-tfrecord/raw/main/events.tfevents.example ``` Then you can open the Viewer and open the file using drag-and-drop or the open dialog, or you can open it directly from the terminal: ```bash rerun events.tfevents.example ```
