Straightforward example from the [Quick Start guide](https://www.rerun.io/docs/getting-started/data-in/python) to generate a 3D colored cube and demonstrate how to log a point cloud.
|
|
|
|
## Used Rerun types
|
|
|
|
[`Points3D`](https://www.rerun.io/docs/reference/types/archetypes/points3d)
|
|
|
|
## Logging and visualizing with Rerun
|
|
|
|
The visualizations in this example were created with the following Rerun code:
|
|
|
|
It logs 3D points, each associated with a specific color, forming a grid pattern using [`Points3D`](https://www.rerun.io/docs/reference/types/archetypes/points3d) archetype.
|
|
```python
|
|
import rerun as rr
|
|
import numpy as np
|
|
|
|
rr.init("rerun_example_my_data", spawn=True)
|
|
|
|
SIZE = 10
|
|
|
|
pos_grid = np.meshgrid(*[np.linspace(-10, 10, SIZE)] * 3)
|
|
positions = np.vstack([d.reshape(-1) for d in pos_grid]).T
|
|
|
|
col_grid = np.meshgrid(*[np.linspace(0, 255, SIZE)] * 3)
|
|
colors = np.vstack([c.reshape(-1) for c in col_grid]).astype(np.uint8).T
|
|
|
|
rr.log("my_points", rr.Points3D(positions, colors=colors, radii=0.5))
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Run the code
|
|
To run this example, make sure you have the Rerun repository checked out and the latest SDK installed:
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install --upgrade rerun-sdk # install the latest Rerun SDK
|
|
git clone git@github.com:rerun-io/rerun.git # Clone the repository
|
|
cd rerun
|
|
git checkout latest # Check out the commit matching the latest SDK release
|
|
```
|
|
Install the necessary libraries specified in the requirements file:
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install -e examples/python/minimal
|
|
```
|
|
To experiment with the provided example, simply execute the main Python script:
|
|
```bash
|
|
python -m minimal # run the example
|
|
```
